That's all there is? Please, tell me the extremists, liars, crackers and other oddball opponents of President Obama aren't relying on the content of the linked video to reveal something sinister about the President, or something we don't know or suspect about his background.

"Now, to be fair, if you tease out the politics here, Obama was taking a more left-wing position than you would probably see him advocating as president. Obama was a moderate and unifying figure, but within the context of a political debate that was fairly radical." (source: New York Magazine)

Fabled Obama Race Video Surfaces! [Updated] -- Daily Intel

I'm disappointed. Given that the folks who produced other doctored untruthful videos came up with something this weak.

It must be a very slow news day.

So, basically, more idiocy from Breitbart's pack of jackals. It's funny to hear them complain about "heavily edited" video, given that deceptively edited video is their only real skill, and I'm pretty sure that people won't be all that offended about how Obama once defended a strong voice in equal treatment for black academics - although it doesn't shock me to see that these clowns find that idea offensive.

In any case, this footage has actually been around for years, so and was shown on PBS, so the whining about how it "wasn't examined" is just flat-out wrong. And yeah, this is just about equal with Breitbart's first vetting article that lied about Saul Alinsky and Studs Terkel.

This coming from Breitbart makes it lose all credibility anyway, which is why nobody cares about it.

To have attacked Obama for his radical associations would have exposed her for the phoney she is. And, of course, Hillary learned the hard way that any attack on Obama was going to be spun as racism.

After Obama won the nomination his political opponent was John "My friend" McCain. He wanted to take the high road and avoid any negative campaigning. So he had no interest in digging into Obama's past, even ignoring his atrocious record on infanticide while Obama served in the Illinois state senate.
I knew Hillary wrote her senior thesis on Alinsky. When did she intern with him? Please provide a link.

The same way the Left has defined Sarah Palin solely by her career as a politician. Gimme a break......

Interesting to see what actually was cut out. Look forward to seeing it.

Full video will be on Hannity tonight with discussion with Ben Shapiro
Vetting the democratic Pres. what a concept. Wish we had a real news media in the country.

I think the public has defined Sarah Palin by what she has said and done since she was nominated as the GOP Vice Presidential candidate. No need to refer to things such as the "Bridge to Nowhere." What's she's demonstrated about herself is quite daming. As it should be.

I'm amazed at the perpetual shallowness of the Left. God help us if this is the generation that we can expect to lead us through what's to come.

I'd reconcile that even your fellow Liberals don't agree with you.

The big unveiling will be on Hannutty? I guess they don't want many to see it, huh?

All sorts of negative aspersions were cast her way for her daughter, Bristol, giving birth to a child out-of-wedlock.
