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

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."

the one you seem obsessed about....
“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.”

I'm not "obsessed" about any video.
Furthermore, that isn't the video I'm interested in. I'm interested in the video showing Ogletree bragging about hiding that video.

But you are right, I don't see that old video changing any polls, but I sure as hell see the new one affecting the polls.

I’m going to go find another thread where folks care about these issues. bye bye!
But...but...Pretty soon FReepers will have a clear picture of your unfamiliarity with logic.
...I thought you were going to bring me down a notch.

Don't run away now when you're so close to your goal!
you're so busted

The economy and and his anti-Constitutional behavior are all that need to be in focus. 20 year old video convinces nobody of anything.

it's the exact opposite. the media will say the economy is fine.....constitution? that's a joke. only a few people care about that.....we'll be debating ourselves....it's small ball. this is why obama's background has not been vetted. breitbart is playing big ball....and the media know it.

Don't you dare go sending me FR mail! You say what you've got to say in public!
And if you don't say it in public I will post what you wrote no matter how wrong some may view doing so to be.

You know what, I'm not even going to bother going through the motions of civility.
This is what you wrote me and what you weren't man enough to say in public! Newsflash!
It’s about getting FReepers away from this sideshow and focused on the important issues, that will change voters minds.

Don't ever send me any FR mail again! If you've got something to say to me then you say it in open forum.

A second one from you. Its about not feeding your ego with public pings, as though your argument has any merit.

You're right, it's about exposing your BS to the public.

Why does my argument not have any merit?

Maybe you should first try to understand the discussion to understand the distinction being made.

OK, I reviewed the threads and I get it now. G Larry exposed himself as a liberal sleeper agent by mixing possessive pronouns in the course of the discussion. Do I get my $200 now?

The issues that will change voter’s minds are:

Obama’s unconstitutional behavior in office,
His commitment to outrageous spending,
His inability to grow private sector jobs,
His war on Christianity, free markets, and domestic energy production.

Newsflash!
It’s about getting FReepers away from this sideshow and focused on the important issues, that will change voters minds.

Clearly the message of a “Liberal Sleeper agent”....

I’m to the right of Atilla the Hun!

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

That may be true Ace, but you spout the same crap as the MSM concerning this issue and you're an arrogant ass about your views.
That's pretty much the same as the MSM in itself, thinking about it.

You really strike me as a narrow minded egotistical individual who tries to limit other people's thought by your own limited perceptions.

You really ain't the sharpest tool in the shed Ace, even though you've convinced yourself you are.

Does that sound like the MSM, dear humble, gullible one?
