This famous YouTube video was just brought to my attention through Twitter. It is a reminder that back in 2008 the Obama campaign got in trouble for advertising its linkage to the New Black Panther party. Not surprisingly, the mainstream media is not giving this story much attention. It is, nevertheless, all over Twitter, YouTube and Fox News. Thankfully, we live in a market economy with many channels of information.
As one of the people who knew the young Obama while he was a sophomore at Occidental College, I can truthfully relate that I so no signs of hatred towards white people when I met him. This observation, of course, is out of line with Obama's own description of his early years in his first book, Dreams from My Father.
My take is that Obama embraced the racial hatred of Rev. Wright and others only after he graduated from Columbia University. All in all, I think it is deeply disturbing that Obama's administration did not take more action to punish the New Black Panther party for its voter intimidation practices in 2008. Obama's links to this organization deserve greater media attention...

Wow,
Such hatred by the leader of this movement. He is inviting predjudice by invoking predjudice.
That is the first time I think I've ever agreed with Alan Colmes (sp?).
