THE BREITBART "BIG" OBAMA VIDEO

Part of the agit-prop from Hannity and others about this nothingburger is that the mainstream media knew about but hide the video to protect Obama's chances for election in 2008.

Typical rhetoric and once again IT'S NOT TRUE:
1991 Obama video aired in 2008

The “racially themed” video of President Barack Obama as a 29-year-old Harvard law student that’s gone viral on the Web was broadcast as part of a PBS documentary on the future president nearly four years ago.

On the eve of the groundbreaking 2008 presidential election, the Boston-based documentary program “Frontline” broadcast a program on Obama titled, “The Choice,” which featured a version of the same video: Obama introducing Derrick Bell, Harvard’s first African American tenured law professor, at a rally in solidarity with Bell and support of affirmative action in the law school’s admissions process. The video was part of an extended broadcast tracing Obama’s path from childhood in Hawaii and Indonesia to his election as the nation’s first black president.

Here's the link to the Frontline story.
