Frontline just tossed a few hand grenades at Buzzfeed and Breitbart.
While BuzzFeed did not publish all of the available footage of the event — a manager here noted that they were paying for each second of footage — they did post the entirety of what was available of Obama’s speech. While other cameras could have shot additional material from the event, no other footage of the event exists at WGBH.
And while there does appear to be editing in the footage available, that was almost certainly done in 1990. The Ten O’Clock News practice was to store completed segments as aired along with any relevant additional footage that might be useful in the future.
Watch Obama Speaks at Harvard Law in ’90 on PBS. See more from FRONTLINE.

This whole thing is a non-event.
That was always the case, but conservatives (in this case, people in general, including us Liberals: h/t JakeGint)will use any excuse to get riled up.
FUCK YOU!!!!
good thing you’re just kidding.
I wonder where they positioned the teleprompter…
At least this president can read one, unlike the last Republican one.
The fact that you had to add “Republican” instead of just the “last one” annoys me. GWB was an asshat. I don’t know that there’s anyone–democrat or republican–that doesn’t readily admit that. His asshatery had little to do with his Republicanism, and it certainly doesn’t make 0bama’s any more acceptable.
ohh so I guess Sanatorium or Newt or Romney are less idiots? Give us a break. Republicans who are beholden to the religious right or teabaggers are idiots, which pretty much sums up all republicunts.
How come some of the same people who think Bush can’t read claim he did nine eleven?
If he’s as incompetent as they say there’s no fucking way he pulls that shit off. If he pulled it off he’s an evil genius…
Can’t have it both ways.
You see, because he read but he didn’t read. He only pretended to read to the children ‘cuz he really can’t read. But they still take credit for him sitting there even while saying he can’t read. Funny, the kids who were in that classroom do not claim that the president couldn’t read. And they also personally testify that it was comforting to have him there and not overreact in front of them. But libs think they know best for everyone.
wow .. that was damning … no wonder obama nuked breitbart
One More Time (repost) With Feeling:
The Oreo cookie has just had it’s 100th birthday! I think that factoid is far far more important than anything the dearly departed breitbart possibly sought to unveil with his “video.”
You might ask, why was the video hidden during the 2008 campaign? Also, just who is Derrick Bell, since Obama implores us to “open our hearts and minds to his ideas”? I think you’re gonna find out a lot more about Bell, and Obama’s close relationship with him over the coming weeks. This will be released like the ACORN videos. Watch the Obama Palace Guards attempt to spin, only to see it get worse and worse, until it becomes painfully obvious that they’ve been exposed.
Harvard University Law School professor Charles Ogletree admitted that he hid controversial video footage featuring a college-age President Obama speaking at a campus rally in support of a radical professor.
“I hid this during the 2008 campaign,” Ogletree said in the video. “I don’t care if they find it now.”
The entire video was aired exclusively on Hannity by Breitbart.com editor-in-chief Joel Pollak and contributor Ben Shapiro.
The unedited video shows Obama speaking at a 1991 rally for Professor Derrick Bell.
Bell has been described as the Jeremiah Wright of academia. At one point in the video, Obama embraces Bell.
It’s unclear why Ogletree felt the need to protect Obama and hide the video during the 2008 campaign.
I have a feeling you are right, sir. This is gonna get good pretty soon. The libs declaring victory here have no idea what is coming, lol.
Breitbart wasn’t stupid. They’ve been working on this for a long time. Also, note all the lib media sites publishing the video today. Again, all spin, all nothing to see here, move along.
Happy 100th Birthday Oreo Cookie!
You know skyfish. Besides making/destroying Earth via nuclear weapons.
Or other issues like is it still my uterus, or selfish killing of a mother’s own child.
Not to mention black masters intimidating non-members at the voting block (AG Holder approved 2008).
Three years of HOBOma’s banker-buds fraud, usury and mass criminal corruption: your Oreo shout out is a bastion of hope.
Get your 100th Oreo’s Edition. Don’t be lame. They’ve got great sprinkles too. Extra depth too methinks. Quite tasty.
Notable! skyfish.
Are you even American? Do you understand how to type a coherent sentence in English? I don’t think anyone even reads your posts because you are such a loon and such an incoherent twit.

Haha. Thanks for sharing Kat. Interesting that you have such vitriol, yet continue to read my work product. Oh, I’ll humour your hypocritical vanity. I rather enjoy children. I know you want to grow up one day. I’ll keep hammering truth down your throats, even as you complain.
You might ask yourself why this kind of a video should matter in an election, or affect a persons ability to be president.
Where is your outrage over Santorum stating you need to revert to biblical principals in a constitutional republic where separation of church and state is laid out in the founding documents. Or why this doesn’t immediately disqualify him from the race.
This isn’t a video about santorum.
TJWP, you simply don’t get it, do you? Have no fear, the main-stream-media will go to hell and back to vet Santorum, just like when they sent hundreds of reporters (or was it thousands?) to comb through the released Palin emails. Don’t worry, every little detail of Santorum’s life will be fair game to be chewed on, regurgitated with leftist slant, and spit back out for public consumption.
This will NEVER happen with a liberal Democrat president.
That is why this video is important. They guy has never been vetted because the main-stream-media has failed to do its job.
Are you this clueless? Have you seen the scrutiny that Obama’s own birth has garnered? We are blanketed with conservative media from Fox News to conservative talk radio to conservative blogs. Is Fox news not a major media outlet? Did the birther issue not get national attention for months on end? Did the Acorn or Reverend Wright yada yada issues not get put under a microscope? You guys have nothign. Hell, the right wing nuts are combing Obama’s ass so finely, that even if Michelle makes a grimace and the amerian flag is nearby, she is ruled a nazi. Again, logic defies your kind but that is ok. Not all of us are rational human beings.
Kat, If your logic were true, this video wouldn’t be new…

Reality has a well known liberal bias.
Reality filtered through your leftist mindset.
Otherwise known as “relativism.”
_______
Yes because you are judging this based on what “they will do to Republicans” verses what they are doing to Obama. I don’t even like Obama, I just think your mindset is poison to any open discourse and any democratic process.
But please, feel free to continue to make an ass of yourself demonizing and patronizing anyone who doesn’t conform to your point of view. You do much more damage to your argument than I ever could.
When did he say that? Please provide the exact quote.
Listen, I don’t like Santorum because he’s a statist at heart (he backed that turncoat asshole Specter over Toomey, for example), but trashing him for his faith is typical Coward Left M.O. tactics. Go screw.
__________
Jake,
I think it’s his “faith.” Alas, voila le probleme!
Just like good ol’ Rush is such a keep-it-in-his-pants church-going devout love-the-poor, turn-the-other-cheek, love-thy-neigbor kinda guy!
I don’t know what you are talking about.
Santorum is on the whole too whiny, and he likes his big gummint a bit too much for my taste, but one thing that is unquestionable is the guy’s fealty to his Catholic faith.
Even if it’s to his detriment, he’ll defer to it. He’s not bullshitting.
___________
Wait, did I trash him for his faith or for saying that the country should be run along the lines dictated by his faith? Perhaps you would like to re-read the comment.
Also, if his faith were Muslim and not Christian tell me the right wouldn’t be shitting bricks for him saying the USA needs to revert to the principals of his, not our, faith.
TJWP — you are full of shit. Provide the fucking quote or STFU.
I tire so much of you left wing bullshitters coming here to read you daily talking points.
Do your own research and don’t let yourself be just another useful idiot (google the phrase for it’s historical relevance).

Douchenoggle, PROVIDE THE QUOTE. This is what I’m talking about.
Idiots like you make a statement, then you are challenged and you blithely go off and stick a couple of vides up that DO NOT IN ANY WAY SUPPORT YOUR POINT.
You just WASTED MY TIME by making me look at that first vid, even though I KNEW you were full of shit.
ANY sane person looking at that video would say “Santorum is backing the first amendment and the free and open square of ideas,” and further “he is inveighting against the President’s unilateral attempts to force institutions of faith to go against their principles.”
HOW IN THE HELL you get “subverting the contstituion from that first video, I am seriously at a loss to explain.
This is what I’m talking about… you are so married to your dimwitted talking points that you embarrass yourself with your own evidence. It’s pathetic.
Time to start thinking for yourself. You may not agree with Santorum, but don’t let yourself get used by his opponents in such a simpleton’s manner. It’s embarrassing.
______________
How is it wasting your time when your time seems to be largely spent trolling these forums for anything that has a wiff of the left to it and then raging on it. LOL.
These are my fora, douchnozzle, and it is YOU who abuse your privileges here by trolling it up with your talking point dimwitteries.
What’s that? You can’t prove your obnoxious claim? Then GTFO my house until you grow up and stop getting used by your statist betters.
___________
With every comment you simply paint a clearer picture of the ignorant hateful person you are.
biblical principles eh? You do realize that not all things in the bible are “religious” and certainly can align with principles the founders used to create the country, right? I mean, if the Bible says to not murder, does that have to be separated from state matters because its religious? Or can it be that things said in the bible could have value independent of a person’s faith or type of worship (or anything having to do with religion)? You make simplistic arguments. And you’re foreign.
Oh wow, so controversial. Bell is a communist!!? Obama hates america! Bring out more footage. If this is the best you guys have, all I can say is Obama ’12. Birth certificate, muslim, socialist, hates america, you people are absolutely pathetic.
i realize i cant change your mind. but if you listen and prove your point by looking at the oppisite . ie: the sky is blue. ok the sky is black. then work to prove the sky is black , by working on a series of yes and no questions ,you can define the truth. only the truth will be left standing. it works with everything.

haha. Better not buy the 100 Year Annum. Not good for waist line. Once you start, not easy to quit… the Oreo.
The Republican party really lost its ways when it went down the Ken Starr insanity and decided they could win on scandal rather than ideas. Now the party’s up for grabs because it’s no longer about articulating anything but vituperation and nastiness, the dark side of the self-help spiritual inanity of many on the left.
I didn’t pay much attention to Breitbart, but he strikes me as the purified crack-cocaine version of a Ken Starr, all the kick without anything else.
The question is: will they ever bother to have another idea again that isn’t simply about taking as much as they can and bombing the shit out of whoever’s next on the list.
My five year old understands the temptation of the dark side. Do the Republicans?
FYI… The Left IS the dark side. I hope your five year old wises up when he/she gets out of the house.
Then again, Breitbart had hippy parents too.
_______
Jakey,
For me, it’s enough that Arianna Huffington—whom I despise—was the person who found Breitbart. She’s a psycho bitch. I had to deal with her back in my first job out of college, when she was married to the Greek guy. Birds of a feather. That she went to the left means nothing. She’s just an opportunist.
Oh, and I forgot to tell you, Spooky is just my nickname. Call me Darth!
Arianna was way left already when she met Breitbart.
He broke from the Dark Side just in time to save his soul.
_________
Dogmatic as always.
Spooky, Arianna did not “find” Breitbart. He was introduced to her by Matt Drudge.
I just learned that Obama chose the black checkers for a 1968 game. The video has been kept buried in his native Kenya/Indonesia/Mars.
Hey, don’t thumbs-down me yet. This is just the first of a series.
I have the audio transcript of a 1969 game where he chose the RED checkers.
Red”—and that right there, like the darkening water that swirls down Janet Leigh’s drain [in Psycho’s famous shower scene], is plenty suggestive.”
I’m not stupid. I’ve been working on this a long time. The stuff I’ve unearthed…Glenn Beck would have fellated his own mother on national TV to get his hands on it.
For example, with the death of Mr. B, I’m now the only person alive who knows that Timothy Geithner, the man Obama put in charge of the US Treasury, is a radical black communist.
What is it w. Lefties that the harder left they go, the farther from a sense of humor they fly?
Sheeit, I bet your old lady wouldn’t even quirk a lip at that one.

Eventually, the GOP primary voters will realize that Cain isn’t serious about running for President.
That will bring them back to the Perry-or-Romney dilemma.

Right-wing members of the Harvard Law Review during Obama’s HLR presidency expose the radical prof-hugger. They were there. They will not be silenced:

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia – former HLR member

Shit, Bill Buckley went to Yale. He’d probably be lynched were he matriculating today.

You forget the Jakebot does not register things like facts or reality. Simply dogma and hatred for those who do not think the same way it does.
First thoughts upon finally watching the video…
1) Freaking Barack O’bama was fully formed at age (29?)… pretty freaking impressive. Scary, even. Makes one wonder what took him so long to win his first election.
2) Derrick Bell clapping for himself… the perfect creepoid lefty metaphor. Those poor kids.

LOL.
Only one thumbs down on this one? I can see the leftoids’ brain-shiver here… “wait uh minnut… um… I think he’s complimenting the One… but … but… MUST downthumb… uhhhhhnnnh…whut tah dooo?…. blacking out… blacking out!”
