Drudge nails it!

Just saw the clip. Lamestream media has known for 5 years that Obama is black but covered it up. Thank god for Drudge, Fox, Hannity, Carlson.

I remember when Drudge was relevant.

Technically I think he is a mulatto.

@jeff, yes. OP here. Apparently there was a little doubt in '07-08, but the lamestream media refused to pursue story. Drudge took matter into his own hands and now confirmed. Can't believe it took this long.

Well, now that I have investigated this, I find that according to Fox News, Obama is not black. Rather, he acted black by adopting an imitation accent in order to pander to his audience.

Also, Tucker Carlson says that the media didn't cover this story properly in 2007 and he knows because he covered it as part of the media in 2007. Fox should be ashamed of the cover up it perpetrated when it reported on this speech in 2007.

George Will has known this all along.

This is just supposed to be payback for Romney's gaffe on the 47%. Or something.

The faux outrage is just hilarious.

Or does Tucker Carlson think we actually did do a "heckuva job" rebuilding New Orleans?

I am honestly not understanding what's supposed to be explosive about this. What am I missing here?

And another thing I don't understand about this story line:

If Obama was trying to whip up race and fear as Tucker says, and the left wing media was in the tank for Obama as Tucker says, why wasn't the left wing media allies carrying the message of race and fear?

And does that mean that his white mother was faked by a secretive but powerful cabal to create the fake credentials for the African Candidate? Wow, the conspiracy gets deeper and deeper. The more you dig, the more you find! Amazing how they inserted her entire life story into the historical record. The truth is stranger than fiction!

The side by side shown on Hannity was powerful, seeing him praise Wright and then renounce him for political expediency is damning. But I have little faith that this will become an issue, people believe what they want to believe. You can't really sway sheep.

What's better is Joe's declaration that the middle class has been buried for the past four years.

Here is the quote from the "new" tape:

"I’ve got to give a special shout-out to 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."

Here is what Fox quoted Obama saying when he "renounced" Reverend Wright:

"I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy. For some, nagging questions remain. Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely - just as I'm sure many of you have heard remarks from your pastors, priests, or rabbis with which you strongly disagreed."

But, in the same speech, Obama also said this:

"And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children."

I challenge you to find any substantial difference between this second quote and what Fox quoted him saying in the "new" tape.

Fox wanted to show a contrast between the two speeches and selectively chose a quote to achieve that goal. However, in doing so, Fox did not inform its viewers of the similarity of comments in the two speeches. That is not how a news organization acts, but rather how a propaganda services behaves.

You use the term "sheep", but isn't that term better suited for someone who watches a video on a propaganda outlet and unthinkingly declares it "powerful"?

Yes.
