Video footage of President Obama during his college years at Harvard
University was intentionally suppressed by news media and academia
during the 2008 presidential campaign in order to hide Obama’s
connections with radical leftists, according to the editors of
Breitbart.com, the website of late conservative activist Andrew
Breitbart.
Tapes of Obama at Harvard in 1991 have now been posted online and aired on the Fox News Channel, and they show then-student Obama speaking warmly on behalf of a leftist professor, Derrick Bell.
“Open up your hearts and your minds to the words of Professor Derrick Bell,” Obama says during his speech before hugging him.
The embrace between the pair had been edited out of a video that was released earlier in the day by Buzzfeed. (Video of the embrace can be seen here.)
“This is just the beginning. And this video is a smoking gun showing
that Barack Obama not only associated with radicals, he was their
advocate,” said Breitbart editor Ben Shapiro.
Referring to Professor Bell, Shapiro explained, “This is a close
associate of [controversial Obama Rev.] 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.”
Shapiro says the original video “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.’”
Portions of the tape had apparently been aired on PBS during the
campaign four years ago, but without the audio of Obama’s statements and
without video of Obama’s embrace of Bell.
“The media cover-up was very real. Ogletree’s cover-up was very real,” Shapiro said.
The videos were broadcast tonight on “Hannity” on Fox News, where
columnists Juan Williams and Michelle Malkin were asked to weigh in on
their content. (Video of “Hannity” can be seen here.)
“I thought this was going to be so much more,” said Williams. “I
thought it was going to be a smoking gun. … But it really didn’t come to
much.”
Malkin disagreed vehemently.
“I reject this idea that we should just shrug our shoulders and buy
the PBS/Buzzfeed line that ‘There’s nothing new here.’ Stop it!” Malkin
exclaimed.
“This is news. They didn’t want to talk about it then, and they don’t
want to talk about it now. Do you think it’s a coincidence of timing
that Barack Obama has now hired people to put out some 17-minute
documentary? This is all about the Alinskyite control of who tells the
story.”
Breitbart editors say today’s release was just the beginning.
“We’ve got plenty more and a lot will be released next week,” Shapiro said.
WND reported earlier that Andrew Breitbart had been investigating
Obama just before the activist’s sudden death March 1, which is being
probed by a coronor.
He told a crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference in
Washington he had obtained videos of Obama from the presumptive
Democratic presidential nominee’s college days.
“I’ve got videos, by the way. This election we’re going to vet him.
I’ve got videos – this election we’re going to vet him – from his
college days to show you why … racial division and class warfare are
central to what hope and change was sold in 2008,” Breitbart told CPAC.
He said the videos would reveal Obama during a time when he was
meeting a “bunch of silver ponytails” – referring to Weather Underground
terror group members Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
It was in the couple’s Chicago home that Obama’s political career
reportedly was launched, and his ties to the two run deep. There’s been a
solid argument made that Ayers ghost-wrote Obama’s highly acclaimed
memoir, “Dreams from My Father.”
The possibility of videos producing revelations about Obama’s college
days is significant, as Obama has carefully kept concealed evidence
about his life during the time he reportedly attended Occidental College
in California and later two East Coast schools.
A lawsuit at one point obtained an order for Occidental to reveal
Obama’s student records. The aim was to find out whether he obtained aid
or assistance as a foreign student, lending credibility to the argument
that he does not qualify to be president under the Constitution’s
“natural-born citizen” requirement.
The video posted by Buzzfeed without the embrace:
Interest in the issue of Obama’s eligibility skyrocketed recently
when an investigative team commission by Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa
County, Ariz., said there is probable cause that the document released
by the White House last year as President Obama’s birth certificate is a
computer-generated forgery.
At a news conference, lead investigator Mike Zullo said his team
believes the Hawaii Department of Health has engaged in a systematic
effort to hide from public inspection any original 1961 birth records it
may have in its possession.
“Officers of the Hawaii Department of Health and various elected
Hawaiian public officials may have intentionally obscured 1961 birth
records and procedures to avoid having to release to public inspection
and to the examination of court-authorized forensic examiners any
original Obama 1961 birth records the Hawaii Department of Health may or
may not have,” Zullo said.
