There’s not much to it, but it is fasciating how long it took for such a video to surface.

Aww, what a nice little protester.
Clint| 3.7.12 @ 5:43PM
This particular video, which Kaczynski says was “licensed from a Boston television station,” shows a young Barack Obama leading a protest at Harvard Law School on behalf of Prof. Derrick Bell, a radical academic tied to Jeremiah Wright--about whom we will be releasing significant information in the coming hours.
Simon Templar| 3.7.12 @ 3:00PM
And could you give us a little information as to what he is talking about, protesting, and who he is directing his remarks????
Clint| 3.7.12 @ 5:36PM
" In a stunning coincidence, It appears Andrew Breitbart suffered his untimely death just hours before he was set to release damning video footage that could have sunk Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.
Around three weeks ago on February 9 during the ‘Blog Bash’ event in Washington DC, Breitbart made a prophetic comment that takes on a somewhat chilling nature given the fact that he died in the early hours of March 1st.
Speaking to Lawrence Sinclair of Sinclair News, Breitbart stated, “Wait til they see what happens March 1st.”
It’s almost certain that Breitbart was referring to his plan to release damning footage of President Obama that he had been promising to reveal throughout the month of February.
As we reported yesterday, Breitbart spoke of his intention to release the tape during his CPAC speech last month. The footage shows Obama in his college days appearing alongside former Weather Underground terrorists Bill and Bernardine Dohrn. Observers had speculated that the footage could have derailed Obama’s hopes for a second term.
“I’ve got video from his college days that show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008 – the videos are going to come out,” said Breitbart, adding that Obama would be vetted."
Clint| 3.8.12 @ 12:57AM
Do Your Homework.
The Information Is Readily Available.
" It was perhaps Barack Obama's most intense immersion in the charged campus racial politics of the late 1980s and early 1990s: As President of the Harvard Law Review in the spring of his final year there, 1991, he aligned himself with Professor Derrick Bell's dramatic protest for diversity on the faculty of Harvard Law School.
Bell was the first black tenured professor at the school, and a pioneer of "critical race theory," which insisted, controversially, on reading issues of race and power into legal scholarship. His protest that spring was occasioned by Harvard's denial of tenure to a black woman professor, Regina Austin, at a time when only three of the law school's professors were black and only five women. He told Harvard he would take a leave of absence — a kind of academic strike — "until a woman of color is offered and accepted a tenured position on this faculty," and he launched a hunger strike to dramatize his point."
Bob Grant| 3.7.12 @ 3:05PM
Before people write this off as a red herring, people need to do a little background check on Derrick Bell, the man of which a young obama is singing his praises on the video.
Mr. Bell is a writer/proponent of Critical Race Theory.
Understand Critical Race Theory and you will be further down the path of understanding the true nature of one Barack Hussein Obama!
goldwater girl| 3.7.12 @ 3:22PM
good thing he dropped that annoying habit of shoving his hand in and out of his pocket. I couldn't focus on his words due to the distracting hand movement. Too bad the media was so negligent in 2008, or even earlier. The man should have never been elected to any public office.
MikeBee| 3.7.12 @ 4:11PM
GG,
He was just practicing for how often he would have to do this, once foreign donations began coming in.
RJ| 3.7.12 @ 3:35PM
This is interesting, but I think Obama's record as President will be the compelling issue in the November election; not his behavior/beliefs before assuming office. In 2008, little was really known about him, yet 53% of the voting public gave him a pass on his association with Rev. Wright and William Ayers. I doubt if more stories of his radicalism is going to change his supporters' minds. The primary issue is the damage Obama's actions as President has done to the nation.
WL| 3.7.12 @ 4:11PM
You do have a point...but I believe if you try and start asking people about specific instances in Obama's background, the could not tell you anything about it. So, while you are correct that it did not make a difference in 2008, I think it is because the eggheads that walk among us STILL don't know what any of this is about...
It's hard to believe, I know..but it's true. Now, that the Hope and Change cool factor is gone...maybe SOME of these zombies will see what this man is about.
RJ| 3.7.12 @ 5:04PM
I hope you are right. I have been affected by my experience in living in France some years ago where many people just didn't care about individual choice and freedom. They frequently looked to the government for answers and help. The more time I spent there, the more differences I saw in our societies. Modern day American liberals remind me of many of the Frenchmen I ran across, which is why I would like to see them move to France and let us live in freedom.
Did you ever see the 1960 movie "The Time Machine?" There are a growing number of Americans who remind me of the Eloi. Another group of people who would walk to their deaths without a thought or concern.
WL| 3.7.12 @ 11:37PM
You may very well be correct. I go between thinking there is hope and thinking hope is gone for us as a whole.
"didn't care about choice and freedom" definitely could describe a great deal of people in the US today...
If the last couple of awful years has not gotten people out of their stupor and they re-elect this president, there won't be any doubt that you are correct and it's pretty much over, in terms of getting any kind of majority in this generation to see it.
Sometimes in history, it has taken many generations of people to get themselves out of it.
Tina B| 3.8.12 @ 9:20AM
Yes, RJ, America once stood out as the harbinger of personal freedom and integrity, individual choice in matters great and small. It called across the seas to my parents in post-war Europe, and brought us to the "land of golden opportunity," in my Dad's words. He was drawn to a new life here and I am forever grateful that I was raised in SoCal and not in the England of my mother, or the Poland of my father, or even the Australia where they first settled.
No offense intended to any of these other nations, but I am what I am because of America. I became what I could become and my daddy and my mom became leaders in their chosen fields because they came to America then.
Dad, Polish Army Captain and engineering graduate from Univ of London, worked on the Apollo projects until he had a stroke and then retired in 1966. Mom, with no college degree, rose to become the first female supervisor in the greater L.A. Postal Service in La Puente, CA, and managed data entry for a huge area with one of the very first computers, when they were still 5 feet by 3 feet by waist high "machines". She also retired with a pretty post office pension, when women were still having the majority of their successes as school teachers or nurses.
When I was finished checking the world out, I chose to go back to college and began teaching teenagers Algebra. For many years, I was given a great amount of autonomy and, with God's grace (throughout my life), I seemed to teach them very nicely. My students matured with me and learned maths well. Many have gone on to wonderful careers all over the world, and many are here in my community worshipping God with their children right next to me in Church.
I was given the opportunity, and the tools, with which to make my dreams come true, as were my Dad and my Mom, in our chosen fields. That was in the America of the past.
Now I look around me and see ALL the convenience stores, tobacco and liquor stores and small hotels are owned and run by foreigners who are not locals, while the locals are working for minimum wage at the local theme parks or in franchise fast food places and restaurants. I don't know if that is in their dreams or not.
My parents migrated, became citizens the first year that they could, after just 5 years here. They assimilated and flew the American flag so proudly on civic holidays. They worked hard until they retired, and then sacrificed and helped their only child and my family until they went home to be with their Lord. Only in America. Then.
But for us, if the POTUS has his way, this America will never exist again. All the little cogs are being trained in the great school machine. They are already trained to consume not produce, to bully and not comfort, to have liasons not relationships, to demand rights and not fight to defend what's right. The plans are laid, they have been for a long time. I just never knew it. I know it now, but I pray others see it too, before it's too late.

There is still the issue of alligning himself with a professor who saw color as the only measure of a person's worth. And? Bell (and by association, 0bama) did not extend their racial concerns to any group save the black race. This is very crucial with Hispanic heritage and other brown groups. White already know he has absolutely no use for them.
J D| 3.7.12 @ 4:45PM
Isn't it funny... when Obama speaks from the heart, he doesn't need a teleprompter!
Mitchell Owens| 3.7.12 @ 7:45PM
Actually, as Politico reported, the video was already known in 2008 and utilized in a documentary about the future president: http://www.politico.com/politi.....16745.html
Nite| 3.7.12 @ 8:02PM
I very much doubt any damaging information was used in a documentary. It will be interesting to see what Breitbart had, unless someone has got to it and it is now destroyed.
WL| 3.7.12 @ 11:44PM
As far as this particular video goes...If this is the best that these videos have to offer...they won't do any good.
Right now in the US we are struggling to win intellectual arguements, while the judges (voters) don't have a clue about anything. It takes way too much teaching to get any of them to engage in critical thought about what any of it means. This professor that the Bamster is linked to in this video is foreign to even most of us. While we have already found out about him and his Critical Race Theory etc...., the average American shut down on it the minute the video was did not have BHO saying something treasonous.
That is one thing that the Liberals have right...and I hate that I am agreeing with them, but....the masses are the masses...and if you put too much hope in the masses OR their cousins "The Mob"....you will be sorely disappointed all of the time. The don't care about facts or critical thinking. Once they find out whose side the "clic," the "in crowd" or the "cool" people are taking...they follow in line, even if it means following a Democrat supporting preacher to South America and drinking the Kool-Aid.
