   Can’t we all just get along?

   How long will it be before Keith O is back on a cable channel? I always liked him and Alan Colmes. CNN could use both of them.

   Drudge and FOX are really grasping for something. What I don’t know. The bomb shell video is Obama introducing his former pastor in 1987 at Hampton University, a Historically Black College/University (HBCU) in Virginia. WOW!!!! SCANDALOUS!

   DNC scrambles to deflate Obama video before Daily Caller story published

   The Democratic National Committee — armed with the help of dismissive tweets from a variety of journalists — scrambled Tuesday night to attack The Daily Caller for its videos of President Obama’s controversial race comments in 2007 before the story was even published.

   Using comments from reporters speculating on TheDC’s report, the Democrats quickly worked to dismiss the story it hadn’t seen yet — which was teased Tuesday afternoon on Sean Hannity’s radio show and on the Drudge Report — by calling it “lame.”

   At about 7:30 p.m. ET, the DNC Rapid Response team sent an email to reporters titled “That was Lame,” listing “instant reaction to the latest lame Drudge/Hannity desperation tactics.”

   The email merely included tweets from journalists — before the story was published — expressing skepticism and disinterest and the mistaken claim that the video had been published before.

   The tweets used by the Democratic National Committee came from reporters at organizations including Politico, BuzzFeed, The Huffington Post, The New York Times, New York Magazine and the Atlantic.

   The mere prospect that videos of Obama talking about race and his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, would be published had the committee quickly working to kill the story.

   In an attempt to link the story to Republican nominee Mitt Romney, the DNC also sent out an old story about Romney saying he would not make Wright a campaign issue.

    “The people down in New Orleans they don’t care about as much!” Obama shouts in the video, which was shot in June of 2007 at Hampton University in Virginia. By contrast, survivors of Sept. 11 and Hurricane Andrew received generous amounts of aid, Obama explains. The reason? Unlike residents of majority-black New Orleans, the federal government considers those victims “part of the American family.”

    The racially charged and at times angry speech undermines Obama’s carefully-crafted image as a leader eager to build bridges between ethnic groups. For nearly 40 minutes, using an accent he almost never adopts in public, Obama describes a racist, zero-sum society, in which the white majority profits by exploiting black America. The mostly black audience shouts in agreement. The effect is closer to an Al Sharpton rally than a conventional campaign event.

    Obama begins his address with “a special shout out” to Jeremiah Wright, the Chicago pastor who nearly derailed Obama’s campaign months later when his sermons attacking Israel and America and accusing the U.S. government of “inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color” became public. To the audience at Hampton, Obama describes Wright as, “my pastor, the guy who puts up with me, counsels me, listens to my wife complain about me. He’s a friend and a great leader. Not just in Chicago, but all across the country.”

    By the time Obama appeared at Hampton, Jeremiah Wright had become a political problem. Wright told The New York Times earlier that year that he would no longer be speaking on the campaign’s behalf because his rhetoric was considered too militant. And yet later in the Hampton speech Obama explicitly defends Wright from unnamed critics, a group he describes as “they”: “They had stories about Trinity United Church of Christ, because we talked about black people in church: ‘Oh, that might be a separatist church,’” Obama said mockingly.

    In all honesty if the right really wants Romney to win why even bother to attack Obama on an issue that will only pander to people who are already voting for Romney no matter what and instead focus on issues that can actually win voters over?

    It should be pointed out the video was not unearthed, it’s been widely available to the public for a few years

    ALL

    Obama, what a phony two face. The corrupt liberal media should be ashamed of themselves. He gives the race speech in Philly and two months later he spews this stuff. He denounces the right Rev. Wright in his Philly race speech then he tells him what a great leader he is two months later.

    Barrack Obama…the man in the empty suit!

    Bite-me Biden tells audience middle class has been ‘buried’ last four years.

    A random act of truthfulness from a dumbocrat.

    Vice President Biden said Tuesday that the middle class has been “buried” for the last four years.

    Biden made the remark at a campaign rally while arguing that Republicans would raise taxes on the middle class. He said the tax hike would be especially bad given what the middle class has been through over the last four years.
    Republicans quickly seized on the remarks, accusing the Obama administration of implementing policies that have hurt the middle class.

    “Vice President Biden made a stunning admission today and we couldn’t agree more: the middle class has been ‘buried’ under the last four years of this President’s policies,” said Romney campaign spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg. “Under President Obama, the middle class has suffered from crushing unemployment, rising prices and falling incomes. They can’t afford to be ‘buried’ for four more years.”

    “We agree, the middle class has been buried the past four years by Obama’s failed policies from higher taxes to more debt, which is why he doesn’t deserve another term in the White House to make it worse,” said Kirsten Kukowski, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee.

    @MattFitz

    So if Romney was caught speaking to a white audience about blacks this way it wouldn’t mean anything?

    Watch the full vid Matt. It does have racial overtones from a man that spoke of No white america, no black america.
