OBAMA: 'Open up your hearts and your minds' to racialist prof
biggovernment.com ^ | March 7, 2012 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 03/07/2012 6:46:27 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

Below is footage of Barack Obama praising and hugging Professor Derrick Bell. It was spliced and diced by the media to avoid showing just how close Obama was to Bell. More than that, a close associate of the Obama campaign, Harvard Law School’s Professor Charles Ogletree, admitted on our exclusive tape, “We hid this throughout the 2008 campaign. I don’t care if they find it now.”

Well, we found it. And it is damaging, because Barack Obama was as close or closer to Derrick Bell than he ever was to Jeremiah Wright. Obama didn’t merely sit in the pews – or not -- for Derrick Bell. He didn’t just hang out with Derrick Bell for prayers. He said:

“Open up your hearts and your minds to the words of Professor Derrick Bell.”

If we did, here’s what we’d be opening our hearts and minds to. This is a close associate of Jeremiah Wright, a man who was quoted by Jeremiah Wright regularly. This is a man who posited that the civil rights movement was too moderate because it accepted the status quo, and believed that the entire legal and constitutional system had to be transformed in radical fashion. This is a man so extreme that, as we’ve reported, he wrote a story in 1993 in which he posited that white Americans would sell black Americans into slavery to aliens to relieve the national debt, and that Jews would go along with it.

Everyone knew about Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright and obama still got elected. His worshippers don’t care. They’re in love and they will vote for him even if a video exposing him torturing cats surfaces. They’ll just say the video is a fake.

Thank you. I have been saying since before the elections that if Zero won, we’d never have presidential elections again.

Yes, it’s about Dr. Bell. This is who Obama promotes and follows. The focus needs to be on Bell and does Obama still support this radical? Today his office said yes. Let’s keep asking: how? in what way?

Andrew’s point was “let the vetting begin.” Finally.

This is a very good thing. It is one more rip in the Obama mask. It is examining this unknown again, for the first time.

As Rush keeps saying: this election is about Obama.

I find it hard to believe this is what Breitbart was really talking about.

I think that’s what everyone is missing. Was Professor Bell writing what he thought of as works of fiction? If he was involved with Louis Farrakhan he either bought into the whacko nutjob mothership crap or was part of knowingly advancing that cult; recall that Rush Limbaugh’s favorite Nation of Islam [which was anything but Islamic] true-believer? What was her name, Rita? She seriously believed there was an alien mother ship that would wipe out the UK , the joos and the USA and take all the black people aboard or some such thing.

And here’s the future President of the US all cozy and serious with dingbats.

A video of a younger Obama spouting off like “Rita” about space aliens would be pricelessly funny.

I think the last line in the article speaks to your post.

” As more is uncovered about Prof. Derrick Bell and his radical views, it will become clear why Prof. Ogletree wanted this video hidden.”

I do honestly believe that the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus spoiled brats and their ideological issue now have their own Establishment and are serious about their decades-old intent to secede from and destroy the Constitutional republic and its social contract, freedoms and inalienable rights..

The Left wants Limbaugh to vacate. Limbaugh is like Fort Sumter and the Mau-Mauing and death threats against him are like the shelling of Fort Sumter and could be the early stage of the beginning of Civil War II.

This "vetting" of Obama will intensify the Left's madness, so close are they to their plan for America.

If he weren’t black, and if the financial crisis hadn’t happened when it did, he never would have been elected. The world seemed like it was about to fall off the cliff in 2008, and the GOP was given the blame, so a Dem was elected. It is a tragedy, and Obama has put so many things into place that will never be undone. It was an immense disaster for this country. I don’t think we truly realize all he has done to change this country for the worse.

This video will have zero impact. Its just more of what we already know. Those that love Maobama will keep on being sheeple, this won’t change anything.

This is the first drip.

Exactly. Check out PJTV's Bill Whittle talk about how Brietbart KNEW how to handle the MSM. His takedown of ACORN was perfection and an example of how Conservatives need to operate on this battlefield. You don't release everything at once. You release one, let the enemy (MSM) respond, then another, then a response, and so on. The key is that WE control the message. Don't let them seize control. I think (and hope) Andrew taught his successors well.

“I find it hard to believe this is what Breitbart was really talking about.”

I agree.... Breitbart said he had video(s), plural.

Next.

This is a pretty big deal. Zero hugging Derrick Bell is equivalent to Newt or Santorum hugging David Duke or Rev. Phelps of the Westboro Nutcase Church. That's why Ogletree et al. wanted to hide it during the 2008 campaign.

Hate to break it to you, but the hug was in a Frontline puff-piece uploaded to Youtube before the election (Oct 27, 2008):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5m6YFBcixo&t=48

It may sound like "BFD" for now because the LSM has carefully managed to keep Bell's name in oblivion. He was a freakin' anti-Semitic Farrakhan apologist, worse than Rev. Wright. Thank you, Breitbart. The drip drip drip has begun.

Hopefully, there is as much material on Bell as there is on Wright. And hopefully there is more on the relationship between Bell and Obama than just a cordial introduction and a hug. Whatever Ogletree chuckled about burying has got to be more that what was shown (which was not buried).

All great points butterdezillion, and I fear the ONLY thing that will stop this runaway train is ‘we the people’ -

There is so much information out there and trying to bring anyone up to speed who only shows mild interest at election time, is proving to be quite the challenge.

I’m thinking there has to be an easier way to slice through the clutter and get to the heart of it so people will sit up and pay attention - maybe giving out copies of the communist manifesto will get their interest, with check marks next to the items which have already been accomplished.

OK, I couldn't have seen Frontline 'cuz I canceled my TV cable several months before that loathsome election, and avoid PBS "news programs" as well. I suppose in those days the MSM were arrogant enough to present Bell as a typical civil rights hero.

They could never have imagined how fast conservative media could have risen, as they have now. I look forward to more vetting.

I agree,I was expecting Obama to be Uttering some Vile Stuff,But I realize Now it exposes Obama with his Own Words to Listen to another Racist America Hating Marxist,which is exactly Who Obama is. Now it is up to Brietbart People to expose Bells Radical Views that Obama Wants us to Open Our Hearts and Minds too.

Derrick Bell is listed in The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America by David Horowitz.
