The Harvard Hug: What Else Are Media Hiding?

The Harvard Hug: What Else Are Media Hiding?
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."

Yahoo News declared the video "a dud," and CNN devoted a full segment to shoot it down. "Is that it? What part of that was the bombshell? Because I missed it," said host Soledad O'Brien. So what if the president hugged Bell? He was a "renowned Harvard Law School professor!"

And one of her favorites, as it turns out. After he died last year, O'Brien tweeted: "Professor Derrick Bell died yesterday also. Rough day." And: "Just started rereading Derrick Bell's 'Ethical Ambition.' Read it. RIP Prof. Bell."

O'Brien never disclosed to CNN viewers that she was a personal fan of Bell. Nor did Fox News' Juan Williams when he also pooh-poohed the video: "What is this, guilt by association?" Williams endorsed Bell's incendiary books as a Washington Post scribe.

They knew what he was about. Anybody who has read Bell's works knows he's militantly anti-white and anti-America. He didn't try to hide that, unlike his fans in the media today.

Bell was too radical even for Harvard, which sacked him, but not too radical for our president, who embraced him as a 30-year-old law student. And who then went on to indoctrinate his own law students in Bell's hate when he was a University of Chicago professor.
Obama required them to read Bell's "Race, Racism and American Law," which argues American law is illegitimate because it's derived from "white power structure."

Relevance today? Obama's close relationship with Bell fits a pattern of radical associations that have carried over into his administration. Before dying, his old professor visited the White House at least twice, records show. And Bell's ideas show up in Justice Department policy, where black-on-white hate crimes and black intimidation of white voters are not prosecuted.

MSNBC paraded out a host of Democratic pundits to deflect attention from the Harvard hug. They've argued there are more important things, like the economy, to talk about than Obama's college days.

Of course, one has to do with the other. What Obama did in his past affects our economic future. His policies are based on the radical ideology he developed in Bell's classroom and in Saul Alinsky's war room.

The media know this video is a big story, just like they knew the Rev. Wright videos were big four years ago. But they've done their best to kill the stories to protect a fellow traveler.

What we have here is a conspiracy by the Obama campaign and its friends in academia and media to suppress the truth. They have a vested interest in helping Obama fool the electorate because they share his dreams of economic equality.

In 2008, the media made Obama out to be something he's clearly not, and the electorate fell for it. They're hoping it will again.
