That’s to be expected — and in fact, is an entirely predictable, trite, and wannabe-transgressive cottage industry in the Humanities and the social sciences, where leftwing “intellectuals” build their own little surreal, misinformed, and grievance-filled echo chambers.
But to hear your current President parrot that kinds of illiberal thinking — from back in his Senate days just 5 years ago — well, that’s something else entirely. At least, it should be. And I’m not sure the mainstream press will be able to control the narrative once the video starts going viral.
Tonight, Anti-America’s chickennnnnns!…..are coming home to roost…!
This is just another Republican distraction because…
Look, bunnies!
Three big bags of cheesy popcorn arrived at my doorstep today.

Under “Anti-American” in my post is a link to the Daily Caller, who has the full unedited 40 minute speech.
Amazingly, there were reporters there in 2007, but none of them reported on anything other than the prepared remarks distributed by the Obama campaign. And a 9+ minute video was released, expunged, expurgated, cleansed, tidied, and ready for public consumption.
Hannity actually did a good job posting this speech side by side w/ Obama’s 2008 race speech, in which he criticizes the very racial divisiveness we see him engaging in in 2007.
Obama was never a good man. He’s a Marxist, mentored by a communist, friends with terrorists both domestic and foreign who adopted critical race theory and married it with black liberation theology, who was then polished into a shiny ruse to take advantage of years of carefully-sown white cultural guilt and sold as a post-political, post-racial centrist pragmatist.
And lots of people bought it.
Make these video clips go viral. Post them to facebook. Post them to any list you’re on. Get the word out. Force people to confront who it is they elected.
Because to a point I agree with Bmoe: people would rather repeat their error than admit they’re wrong. But the magic of the voting booth is that, once those curtains are pulled, you can surrender your ego to your better judgment, and nobody else has to know you’ve admitted to your own error.
SQUIRREL!!!1!!
aw fer christ’s sake Bailey.
Jeff:
This is ridiculous. I thought we had established that the President answered all questions about race with the human sacrifice of his racist old honkey grandmother who took in an abandoned half-black baby and raised him as her own on the wind-swept planes of Honolulu, Kansas?
These questions have been asked and answered.

I would agree to a point, as well. However, there seem to be a rather large amount of ‘folks’ who voted for Obama last time who are not enthusiastic about voting for him this time. Indeed, they are not moved to vote at all.
The trick is for Romney to capture the wavering voter who, as you say will vote his conscience and what he thinks is right for the future of the country and not cast a vote just out of fashion.
I say, when fighting for survival as we are, use every weapon in the arsenal. A Classical liberal worrying about being called names in today’s culture is useless. Embrace your inner Visigoth! Kill, torture, and maim(metaphorically of course), and worry about hurt feelings when the danger is past.
Fuck’em in the neck I say. Obama is a pinko commie fag anti-American race-baiting lying sack-o-shit that needs to be run out of the country on a rail.
Or at least voted out of office.
Playing by the lefts rules is the idiotic thing to do.

oh my frum and brookes with a noonan voice
The trick is for Romney to capture the wavering voter who, as you say will vote his conscience and what he thinks is right for the future of the country and not cast a vote just out of fashion.
That is my main point. That it will be easier psychologically to sway this voter if you convince him he was wrong about Obama by confronting with him with things that have happened since the election, things he couldn’t have known then, than by throwing up things he should have known back then and telling him he was wrong in the first place.
But this wasn’t shown back in 2007, Bmoe. If anything, it gives some of my liberal, educated Jewish friends from back east an opportunity to say, “well, I still like his social policies, but this racism — so divisive. And, well, never forget.”
Anyway the rationalization comes is fine by me. Confront them with everything, I say.
Now, I did pitch the idea to my wife that I could see the Democrats actually releasing this vid to the Daily Caller, with the hope that it would get the conservatives pumping with outrage w/o moving the needle much against Obama, who has mainstream media cover from this kind of thing, and besides, everyone knows the real racists are the teabaggers and the rich white men like Presidential candidate Judge Smails. By doing so, perhaps it gets the Libya cover-up and the Fast and Furious Univision story off our radars for a while.
Thing is, we can walk and chew gum at the same time. So it doesn’t matter to me if “undecideds” or those with potential buyer’s remorse pay attention to my strut or the bubbles I’m blowing. As long as they get the message.
I think this video is different from pointing out Obama is a Marxist and then explaining why (though I think it’s important to do that too) or other tactics we’ve been using. The video damns him with his own words. One need only put it out there; little commenting is necessary.
There are many paths to enlightenment about what kind of man Obama is. This is an important one, but it’s not the only one. The more paths we can put out there, the more chance there is for people to find at least one of them. I cannot see limiting any of them out of expediency or nuance or other bullshit like that. We cannot afford that any more.
I am not a fan of Romney at all, but what is happening now and will happen if Obama is elected again has got to be stopped, and the best and least messy chance we have now is at the voting booth.
Juan Williams was already trying to spin it as pandering as usual.
I’m with Jeff: this will give my lefty hipster friends cover to either stay home or *shudder* vote R.
“We knew he was very left, but this. Well, it isn’t proper. It’s, it’s *whisper* racist!”
Thanks Jeff and Leigh. You really pieced together why this release, why right now for me.
“If only you knew in 2007. We understand. Just stay home, or leave that bubble blank when you go.”
Wow.
Glad to help, William. My 22 year old son has friends who are crestfallen that the Wonce isn’t who they thought he was.
Not at all. Not even close, and they feel betrayed and angry.
, and they feel betrayed and angry
it was the sea level thing-axeltool?
It’s just the perfect mixture of “It’s not your fault” and “It’s time to move on.”
I truly wonder how effective it’ll be.
One wonders, when the ministers Obama addressed at Hampton stand back to consider the condescension in his pretended version of their own speech patterns, do they think to resent his high-handedness as he assumes this inauthenticity to himself? Surely for the most part it has to be doubtful they do. But then again, there may well be more than a few among these men of God who see straight through the act, either because they’ve seen such stuff before, or they’ve pulled at it themselves.
It will work perfectly. Just like it does in break-ups.

Time for a new angle on the story about how inauthentic Mitt Romney is.
Now, I did pitch the idea to my wife that I could see the Democrats actually releasing this vid to the Daily Caller, with the hope that it would get the conservatives pumping with outrage w/o moving the needle much against Obama, who has mainstream media cover from this kind of thing, and besides, everyone knows the real racists are the teabaggers and the rich white men like Presidential candidate Judge Smails.

Thing is, we can walk and chew gum at the same time
I think the scenario above is exactly how this will play out. We may be able to walk and chew gum at the same time, but the likes of Scarborough has already admitted that he won’t. So the legacy media now has an excuse to talk about something else besides Libya, Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, the deficit, chronic unemployment, EOs allowing aid to countries that deploy child soldiers, Fast and Furious, etc, etc, etc
From the transcript of the speech:
We can’t expect them to have all the skills they need to work. They may need help with basic skills, how to shop, how to show up for work on time, how to wear the right clothes, how to act appropriately in an office. We have to help them get there.
We need a federal program to ensure people know that they have to show up for work on time?
But Sully isn’t really white like Romney is.
I dunno, y’all. Anybody dumb enough to vote Obama in ’08 isn’t concerned with substance. They don’t define racism based on evidence.
Wonder what time that program would start? Maybe we need a program to teach them how to show up at programs on time, and so on and so forth?
That’s as good a summation as can be realized!
A ‘good man’ to one who was willing to suspend and ignore evidence that was piled up floor-to-ceiling all around him. Are we sure that guy’s a real prosecutor? or was a tiny bronze Judge-simulacrum sitting on his shoulder, with a blog-societal disbarment writ held to his head?
We could call that simulacrum a ‘Moran’.
Word. They base it on cultural arrogance shored up with denial.
We can’t expect them to have all the skills they need to work. They may need help with basic skills, how to shop, how to show up for work on time, how to wear the right clothes, how to act appropriately in an office. We have to help them get there.
I take issue with the “we can’t expect them” and “we have to help them” part. Everything else is correct. The urban underclass is completely unprepared for being successful, but it’s a FACTOR of government interference, not a lack of.
What I find ironic,, though, is that the One could have actually cajoled and shamed “his people” – you know, those folks who look like they could be his son – to rise up and be better. Ala – Cosby. But he hasn’t honestly said boo about it.

I know – they have to be there to pick up their foodstamp vouchers. Money deducted for every minute they are late.

Mr. (‘Reverend’ my Ass) Jeremiah Wright’s ‘the program‘. NTTAWWT.
Why Was Obama‘s Audio Book Version of ’Dreams From My Father’ Purged of All References to Communist Mentor?
Because SHUT UP!!!!, that’s why.
In 2008 Democrats were deeply offended at being called Socialists. They’ve been laughing off and shrugging off that appellation ever since. Oh no, federalized everything surely isn’t socialist, bitter-clinger. Because…shut up.
Today they’re unabashed that the guy they’re going to vote for again had a Communist mentor.
That’s the Stalinist version of historical control Pablo.
Trotsky? *Poof* No Trotsky.
Re: Rev. Wright’s “the program” NTTAWWT
Actually, I have a problem with it when Barrack & Michelle have been shoving this lovey-dovey image down our throat for years. Heck, they’ve even recently placed a marker at the site of their first kiss, and recounted (yet again) their courtship on the View. Do what you like in private – I don’t care (as long as it’s legal) – but don’t then go overboard selling this bull. Ick!
Want a laugh? Check out Robert Gibbs’ lame attempt to spin Obama, and the liberal publication The Hill as they pitch in to aid the effort.
The race baiting videos of Barack Obama need to be aired. I am all for that.
But of all the Barack Obama video out there, this is probably the most significant clip to a majority of Americans…
We need to remind voters of this.
