Last night, Breitbart.com released a video of President Barack Obama fully embracing radical Marxist Harvard Professor Derrick Bell. Now, predictably, the mainstream media is circling the wagons around the president and trying to distract away from the real issue: Barack Obama is a radical and his political philosophy was built by people like Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright and Derrick Bell.
The Vetting: CNN Implodes Over Obama/Bell Video
Notice how CNN host Soledad O'Brian tries to cut off Amy Holmes, who happens to be black, when she defends the production of the video and the vetting of President Obama.
"This is an indictment of the mainstream media that did not open this conversation back in 2008 with the full video, with the full audio, it did not and we didn't have this conversation for the American people. We didn't broach this to then candidate Senator Obama to discuss his background which is all fair," Holmes said.
To answer O'Brian's question about where the "bombshell" is, I give you Michelle Malkin.

I’m convinced the media, including FOX, is told what to report everyday. Every media outlet has a liason they speak with on a daily basis.
But why are the republicans so afraid of this man? They apparently know something that we don’t know. And we know a lot! There’s something very creepy about all this.

Nice job as evenhanded interlocutor there, Soledad. Does the Obama campaign pay you by cash or check?
But Pollack handled her pretty well.

The media love obama. It’s not all blackmail and threats. They truly love him and will do anything he asks them to do.

So if Harvard was being racist about tenure, then how did Henry Louis Gates get tenure at Harvard as as chair of the Department of Afro-American Studies and director of the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for Afro-American Research in 1991.

Critical Race Theory (CRT) is an academic discipline focused upon the intersection of race, law and power.What an evasive definition. Like it was written just so a second-rate media bimbette could recite it on camera to void the issue.

They’re scared that all the stuff they hid in ‘08 so they could get that big “First Black President!!!” story will come out and torpedo anything left of their credibility. They’re scared with good reason.

CNN Already Freaking Out About New Media Vetting President Obama
MSM are trying to preempt as many negatives against Obama a they can before October.
Saturday on
Meet the Press, David Gregory tried to provide cover for Obama with his editorialized comment to Rep. Cantor regarding gas prices:
MR. GREGORY: And part of that, of course, I wonder as a, as a leader in the Congress, if you would counsel Republicans running for president not to use gas prices as a political club against the president when it really is a failure of leadership, is it not, on the part of Republicans and Democrats going back decades here, to fail to achieve energy independence and then be subject to the winds of--whims, rather, of instability in the Middle East that makes gas prices go up and down.
MSM will do all they can to provide cover for Obama. That is most of the reason for all the flapping over contraceptives and Fluke -- to distract attention away from joblessness, the economy, and other 'real' issues.

The good news is—I don’t fear Obama, the news media or Mrs. Sebelius.
I fear the Good Lord. And I pray to Jesus that all Americans do the same.

I was listening to that. “Critical Race Theory (CRT) is an academic discipline focused upon the intersection of race, law and power.”
It was idiotic to say that. I mean, Nazi philosophy is also focused upon the intersection of race, law and power, is it not? Soledad is is an apologist for race hatred on the left.

The Wikipedia entry has been heavily edited since the interview aired.
Some are saying that her producer was just reading from the entry into her ear-piece and that's why she got rattled.
