The presidential race exploded last night on Sean Hannity's television show.
The explosion came with the revelation by Tucker Carlson's The Daily Caller of a stunning 2007, exclusively obtained unedited video tape of then-Senator Barack Obama making blatantly racial appeals to an audience of black ministers. And doing it in a southern accent that by now all of America knows the man who was famously raised in Hawaii and Indonesia and migrated to California, Massachusetts, and Chicago -- simply doesn't have.
The audience at Virginia's historically black Hampton University included Obama's own pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Whom Obama glowingly praised during the talk -- and later famously disowned. In the recent bestseller The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House by former New York Times journalist Edward Klein, the Reverend Wright, in a lengthy taped interview, said Obama considered Wright's "problem" to be one of having "to tell the truth." Essentially accusing his famous ex-parishioner of being a habitual liar.
The difference between the Obama delivering this speech and the Obama of presidential teleprompter fame will do nothing to change that impression.
The speech was filled with racially incendiary language reminiscent of rapper Kanye West's infamous televised charge that when it came to helping the stricken New Orleans, "George Bush doesn't care about black people."

Sorry. I watched Hannity last night and saw what he had. Nothing will come of this. This is no worse than any other atrocity committed by this turd. There’s nothing this guy can do that will change the minds of blacks (some maybe because of the gay issue) and welfare recipients.
And why is this tape from 2007 coming out now and not during his first run>??????
This is all about NOTHING ,,, this is TYPICAL everyday stuff from the panderer-in-chief . He panders to who ever he is addressing ,,, I’m very disappointed in Tucker , Hannity and Drudge this is last years birdnest at best .
I’ve posted eleswhere, and I still maintain that this “bombshell” tape is much ado about little.
Praising Rev Wright-nothing new
Race-baiting-ditto
Black cadence-maybe new but not surprising
It’s hardly a “barely recognizable Obama” that the Daily Caller is calling it.
Also, about 50% of the people in the U.S. just simply don’t care.
The final days will all be about painting the real picture and if this is a stroke that helps us ALL remember and understand what a loser we have elected as President then so be it... roll the tape!
I agree that Hannity, Carlson and Drudge have lost their mind on this, and quite frankly it makes conservatives look a little foolish.
We now have a four year record of disaster and we’re going to focus on a 2007 speech in which a politician panders (imagine that-a politician pandering- hardly worthy of the Drudge siren)
“Sorry. I watched Hannity last night and saw what he had. Nothing will come of this. This is no worse than any other atrocity committed by this turd”
Well if people like you just sit on it and “yawn”, then nothing will.
And we complain about the press covering for Obama? We have a little crew here on FR that seems to have learned well from them.
My God. Can you people get any more negative? This is a bombshell. It shows Obama as a trace-baiting, America-hating, fraud. We all know he is. It’s not a revelation to us. But, nothing works better that seeing him do it in the flesh. Seeing is believing for a lot of people. This video will do considerable damage among independents.
At that time, I respectfully gave my hero, my preacher dad, a pass. Some may criticize me, saying, Lloyd, either you stand for conservatism or you do not. While you may have a valid point, it is in my DNA to respect my parents. How do you respectfully tell your usually character-driven parent that his decision to support Obama, no matter what, is rooted in racism and a refusal to forgive?
But now that Obama has been exposed as the most anti-Christian president in U.S. history, senior black Christians must no longer be given a pass for supporting this man. ...................."
Read comments on ABC’s article about it. Same old thing. His believers defending him and the rest saying what a POS he is. No one’s mind has been changed from what I can tell.
,,,,,, if you don’t know who this butthead is by now you don’t need a flimsey video to help you ,,, you need a stiff drink ,,,,,
I have to respectfully disagree with all who have weighed in on this and declared it will go nowhere. This will not be found reported by the MSM but it will make the rounds on all political forums and of course, FOX news. This will move the Independents off the fence and against Obama. It may also potentially sway some Latinos as it’s clear what he’s doing here; especially when it’s put side by side with his non, half-assed Ebonics speaking, self.
“I agree that Hannity, Carlson and Drudge have lost their mind on this, and quite frankly it makes conservatives look a little foolish.”
Meanwhile Mother Jones releases a Romney tape and the left doesnt sit around pondering if it is “worth” their time, they run with it. All the while FR posters sit and cry about the media attacks.
Well if people like you just sit on it and “yawn”, then nothing will.”
...I make calls, I donate money, I distribute yard signs and I’m in a significant swing state so go blow it out your barracks bag.
Obama is a racist, a communist, a mooselimb, and a PRICK.
It's Obama's blatant pandering, his condescending and outright lying (all done with such ease and determination to divide).
They are cowards and wimps, unless they are lefty plants trying to suppress the use of this tape.
And these are the same people that call the GOP the same for not “getting tough”!
Well if they want to show how “street tough” they want the GOP to be, then show them how it’s done.
