So, basically this is a NON issue and only a made-up controversy by the right-wingers.

1. aka Breitbartocalypse

[limpyhobbler]

2. Just Fox inventing fake news again.

This is such a non-story that not even Fox "News" viewers will give a shit about it.

[INdemo]

3. if this is the best they have then sorry TeaBaggers...it is a non issue

desperate Repukes.......that are not making any sense whatsoever..I believe what these corporate politicos goal is to destroy our democracy,turn us into a third world country so they can own all the wealth.
...Whats this got to do with the video..nothing..Its just that these corporate Teabaggers just keep digging up this bullshit trying to make an issue out of nothing...and go on programs like Pierce Morgan and try and voice their case and this A hole actually goes along with them.

15. Let's just play devils advocate and say it was an issue.....

It's March 8th.

Election is 8 months away

Voters have the attention span of a gnat with ADHD

I'm sure the republican president candidate will try to bring this up again and make it stick - like with Jeremiah Wright and Weather Underground, two 'issues' that were unearthed during the primaries. When Sarah Palin tried her 'Pal-ing around with Terra-ists' the voters grew bored with her.

If there was an issue there they should have held it until about a month before the election. That's how the Swiftboating hurt Kerry. That's how that photo of Michael Dukakis in the Army helmet hurt him.

And btw, it's also why the Rush Limbaugh/Slut saga will be a non-issue by election day too.

4. It aired in 2008. Why didn't McCain-Palin make a fuss?

Because there is no there there.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

19. & the Freepers stupidly pushed the idea Breitbart was hit with a 'frozen dart' because of this video

Drudge and Savage Weiner were also pushing that tinfoil hat stupidity last week.

How disappointing it must be for the Freepers that this video turned out to be the Al Capone's Vault of Hannity segments.

[Erose999]

22. I, for one would like to congratulate Breitbart's assassin and the CIA on a job well done.

[arcane1]

5. Did their footage contain anything that wasn't in the PBS version?

If not (and seriously, what could it have that would be so damaging?) then the most they can do with this is to continue their whining over how the professor is "tied to Jeremiah Wright" and somehow parlay that into something that would hurt Obama so badly he would order the CIA to kill Breitbart with a super-secret dissolving poison dart to prevent the footage from ever being aired.

Did I get that right?

6. The version the democrats don't want you to see has THE HUG!

Oh the humanity Obama hugged the professor. It is the end of the free world I tell you.

(I think that's what I'm supposed to be freaking out about. I'm not sure why.)

[Old and In the Way]

7. It ought to be dawning on the rubes that they are getting played, royally.

I would be insulted that a PR campaign to whip up Obama outrage and hysteria with "blockbuster evidence" turns out to be an old videotape of a young Barack Obama speaking at a rally for diversity and tenureship at Harvard Law School. But I guess you need to have self-awareness to understand how the average Fox listener/Rush dittohead is being yanked like a yo-yo by political operatives.

What I found interesting is how Obama's oratory style hasn't changed at all from 20+ years ago. It's illuminating that, even then, the man could speak extemporaneously with intelligence and compassion about fairness and justice issues. If anything, this simply reaffirms President's Obama's leadership skills. Not sure this is going to have the intended effect the Republican marketing machine was hoping for.

[Grassy Knoll]

8. This has got to be the biggest FAIL in Fox News History...

They hyped this like Obama shot Lincoln, And It was a hug to a black professor ?
This smoking gun was brought to you by Mattel.

[LynneSin]

16. Kinda like Geraldo opening up Al Capone's vault - what a winner that was....

NOT!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

20. Well, Geraldo does work at FOX

They should have cut to him in a dusty room with a few empty wine bottles after it was over

[WhoIsNumberNone]

9. Boy it's easy to see why Obama had Breitbart whacked over this

Sorry- but the sarcasm tag is just not doing it for me this time. Got anything stronger?

[Tx4obama]

11. The whole hyped up story was a huge fail for the GOPers

even folks at freeperville are disappointed in Hannity.

[GeorgeGist]

10. It can now be confirmed that Breitbart ...

was just another dimbulb.

[toddwv]

12. Nah...

He was a hack who pandered to the basest of the base.

He made millions doing it so he may have been an asshat and an all around douchebag but it doesn't make him stupid.

The people who fall for his style of "journalism", however... dumb as tacks.

[Erose999]

21. Was there ever a doubt that BriteFart was a decietful hack?

with syphilis? That he got from buggering sheep?

[romantico]

13. This

This is like Geraldo opening up Al Capone's Vault.

[Tx4obama]

14. That is what some of the GOPers at FreeRepublic are saying too :)

A whole story about nothing.

But it was great seeing Obama speak at the protest

[bayareamike]

17. Derrick Bell

was the first black professor at Harvard Law...and a serious thinker. So laughable that these people REALLY think this is an issue LOL.



The US is always outdoing its own ignorance, eh?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

18. Hannity, close friend of Hal Turner, accusing someone else of having 'radical associations"

Sean is always trying to hold people responsible for every word and deed of someone they came into contact with, but let's not forget that Mr. Hannity has a long history and friendship with self-declared white nationalist, would-be domestic terrorist and convicted felon Hal Turner.

Sean has also used his FOX show to host self-declared anti-semite Andy Martin.

If Hannity's going to play this guilt-by-association game, then Turner and Martin should be mentioned and linked with his name in all discussions.

[baldguy]

23. A nice young man saying nice things about a nice old man. Only Fox could make this "controversial".
