This... is a meltdown on CNN

Of all the interviews I have ever watched on cable news (and there have been some barn burners), the one I have attached below is the most astonishing I have seen to date.

As Andrew Breitbart promised before his untimely demise, his website empire (see blogroll) would release video of President Obama during his college days, engaging in typical politically radical behavior. The first video was released last week. It showed 29 year-old Harvard law student, Barack Obama, at a rally/protest introducing, lauding, and physically embracing Harvard law professor Derrick Bell. Bell, who died last year, was a racially radical, white-hating professor who created and adhered to a belief system called Critical Race Theory. For more on Bell and his crackpot ideas, read a profile of him here.

In the video, which was suppressed during the 2008 election by another radical black Harvard professor, Charles Ogletree, Obama turns the microphone over the Professor Bell after urging the crowd to "open your hearts and your minds to the words of Derrick Bell." With a video like that, Obama can't claim he sat in the pews for 20 years without hearing a word, like he did with Jeremiah Wright.

With Andrew Breitbart now deceased, one of his able lieutenants, Joel Pollack, went into the belly of the lamestream media beast to be interviewed by racialist CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien. The interview that followed between Pollack and O'Brien was like nothing I have ever seen, with O'Brien setting new definitions for condescension, obtuseness, feigned ignorance (I think it was feigned), smirking, and generally throwing a hissy-fit. And then there was O'Brien's race-baiting compatriot, washed-up former actor turned radio talk show host, Jay Thomas (hockey player Eddie from Cheers), asking Joel Pollack why he hates black people, while not realizing that Pollack is married to an African woman. And the whole time O'Brien and Thomas were having a meltdown, Pollack kept his cool demeanor and just continued to dismantle them. The 11-minute video was one big train wreck for CNN, and you really need to watch all 11 delicious minutes of it... seriously!



There! Now aren't you glad you did? By the way, O'Brien somehow forgot to mention that she is a big fan of Derrick Bell's writings, and actually twice lamented his passing on her Twitter account the day Bell died in October, 2011.
