The Andrew Breitbart Video(s)

[EKublai]

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to make this thread in order to promote discussion on the Andrew Breitbart Video(s)

What it's about:

Conservative Blogger, Andrew Breitbart (who died March 1st) promised last month to unveil videos of Obama's college days that tie him to radicals and were covered up by the mainstream media. Breitbart's Promise

The First Video: Premiering on Hannity this evening, the full video of Obama speaking at a rally in 1990 in support of Derrick Bell, a former Harvard Law professor who notably became the first African-American professor to receive tenure at Harvard. Throughout his career, Bell fought to improve diversity in the faculty. This video came out during a rally in support of Bell in his attempts to bring African-American women to the faculty.

I want to get some reactions from people before I put my opinion. How much is this "reveal" worth?

Hint: It has to do with AndrewBreitbart.com's editor saying that Derrick Bell is the "Jeremiah Wright of academia"

What...?

I don't see any videos other than someone ranting about a video. I'm afraid no one can form any sort of opinion on something that there's no video for. Unless you wanted people to comment on someone ranting about how radical Obama is, in which case I honestly don't know what the hell this guy is talking about. Obama, as of yet, has acted pretty damn centric on most issues that I've seen.

That has got to be the tamest "controversial" video that I have ever seen. It makes the video of Obama asking for spicy french mustard appear like the Abu Ghraib scandal by comparison.

Sorry about that, i posted the same video twice.

I guess the point of my post is that I really don't see anything that condemns Obama of, well, anything. I was definitely disappointed with the Jeremiah Wright connection with Obama brought up back in '08, but this video seems like a pitiful attempt to tie Obama to radicals again (specifically because I would never consider Bell anything but an academic of a particular school of thought involving race. That does not fall into my definition of radical.)

It was definitely controversial enough to Kill.

Yeah... that Obama is a conniving one... First thing he does when he was born in Kenya is forge his birth certificate to read that he was born in Hawaii, then, he conspires with Bill Ayers and ACORN to steal the election by having Mickey Mouse vote for him, and then he sends his secret Black Op forces to sabotage the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in order to get people to hate the oil companies, and NOW, he kills a guy in broad daylight for re-upping a video that was last shown on PBS in 2008, because he doesn't want to seem gay for hugging a guy!

Are there no depths to how low Fartbongo will sink to impose his muslim, communist, nazi ideology on America!?

That's a private video - I can't watch it...

The other video posted by Hatter, though, is Obama fighting for colored people's rights. I don't see much wrong with that, when it was an issue relevant to the time.

What frustrates me right now about both conservative and liberal reactions to this video, is that both sides are formulating opinions on how to accept these videos into the public discourse without even bothering to fully understand Critical Race Theory. I've actually taken a class on the subject and right now everyone is demonstrating the problem that always accompanies it: people like to either accept or deny racism in today's society without regards as to the changing definitions that academics use to describe it.
