The Harvard Hug: What Else Are Media Hiding?
Investors.com ^ | 3-9-12 | IBD Editorial Staff

Posted on 03/10/2012 5:20:50 AM PST by radioone

Bias: We were wrong. The media elite did in fact vet this president, but they covered up what they found. And now that citizen journalists are digging it up, they're trying to rebury it.

Exhibit A is the controversial video of Barack Obama praising and hugging radical Harvard law professor Derrick Bell. The media knew it existed four years ago and conspired with academia to hide it to get Obama elected.

"We hid this during the 2008 campaign," confessed Harvard law professor Charles Ogletree. PBS had it then, but cut both the audio and the hug in a report on Obama's Harvard days. The footage served as wallpaper. Now that Breitbart.com has put the entire video online, the major media have gone into damage-control mode for Obama.

PBS claims, disingenuously, "there's nothing new about the clip." NBC's Andrea Mitchell misled viewers by claiming Bell was "not a radical firebrand" but a "distinguished professor."

Get OFF of this JUNK NOW!!!
We look like CLOWNS going after this stuff.
The VOTERS we want to CONVERT, don’t care!
Obama has a horrible record!
Obama has a horrible agenda!
THAT is what we need to go after!


Do you believe that we should only protect our southern border? Do you think we should only attack the north and east sides of Afghanistan? Do you think we should only invest in "clean" energy? My point is that we need an all of the above approach to getting rid of Obama - not just his record.

More importantly, you mentioned agenda. Where did he get his agenda? How engrained is that agenda? How long has he had that agenda - PROVING he is an ideologue will help us defeat him.

CONTEXT! CONTEXT! CONTEXT! That is how you win an argument or election! We must paint the picture that the MSM is REFUSING to paint! They show you the pretty house with it's fancy picket fence and awnings, etc... But they don't let you see the termite invested walls and the rickety foundation! WE have to put this President in perspective for the "voters we want to convert." Those people DO care!

UP YOURS!!! Who are you to tell people what to do?! I personally intend to ride this horse until it falls under me. You can do whatever you want.

That's funny, the only clowns I see are the ones telling everybody to drop it and "move on" or those saying there's nothing to see here when there obviously is!
Is your ox getting gored? If not then why all the angst?

The VOTERS we want to CONVERT, don’t care!
Voters have to know about it before they can care. And, as is being shown, they haven't been informed.

THAT is what we need to go after!
Then go do that and quit wasting your time telling others what they should and shouldn't do.

What we have here is a conspiracy by the Obama campaign and its friends in academia and media to suppress the truth. They have a vested interest in helping Obama fool the electorate because they share his dreams of economic equality.

In 2008, the media made Obama out to be something he's clearly not, and the electorate fell for it. They're hoping it will again.

No, you're wrong. It exposes the "trusted media" as liars.

That's essentially what Breitbart's editor told CNN's Soledad O'Brien during their interview when she asked "where's the big news in this"? Breitbart's editor responded "you're making it now". Classic retort ....followed with Soledad's deer in the head lights response.

and you ARE????

I’m to the right of Atilla the Hun!
But I’m also an objective news observer.

The folks that care, have all of the evidence they need, regarding Obama’s Marxist affiliations.

Dragging out this video just makes you look desperate, as it brings nothing new or shocking to the table.

Then, IMO, you're about as ignorant as they come.

BTW, your word choice shows you're not on the right. You would have said "us", not you.
Good job on outing yourself.

I don't have to be; I'm the average conservative you're speaking so condescendingly toward.

You've missed the point that all of this was trying to make. To the moderates who weren't quite convinced that the media was in the tank and bought into the argument that they all couldn't possibly be in collusion with the radicals in concealing who Obama really is; here is the irrefutable proof. This and the recent revelation that Media Matters takes directions from Valerie Jarrett and then writes the bylines, it's now out there for all to see. Additionally, there is more to come.

One more thing, if it bothers you so much that people are looking at this, you are free to ignore it. For people who do not immerse themselves in the body politic, Obama's close and continued ties to radical racists is damaging.

We look like CLOWNS going after this stuff.

We have to get off of the birth certificate issue or we look like clowns.
We have to get off of the natural born citizen issue or we look like clowns.
We have to get off of the radical relationships issue or we look like clowns.
We have to get off of the lack of media vetting or we look like clowns.

If we keep going any further down the road you and others prescribe pretty soon you'll be telling everyone that we have to get off of his horrible record and agenda else we be seen as clowns.

You’re a clown!

I’ve got over a dozen years of the most conservative posts on FR.

If I’d said “us”, it would have grammatically placed me among those hyping the video.
