CNN Host Loses It Over Obama Harvard Vid

CNN host Soledad O'Brien on Thursday seemed at times unable to contain her frustration with Breitbart.com editor in chief Joel Pollak during a discussion about the release of a video of then-Harvard Law School student Barack Obama raving about Professor Derrick Bell. (Related: The Radical Racial Ideas of the Prof. Obama Raves About in New Harvard Video) As The Blaze previously reported, BuzzFeed.com on Wednesday published a 1991 video of Obama at a rally praising Bell. In a post on Breitbart.com just hours later, Pollak said the video was one of the promised Obama college tapes Andrew Breitbart had said would be released, but charged BuzzFeed's version was "selectively edited." Pollak and Breitbart.com editor at large Ben Shapiro on Wednesday night unveiled a fuller version of the video, including a hug between Obama and Bell, as well as an admission by one of Obama's Harvard Law mentors, Charles Ogletree, that he "hid" the video during the 2008 campaign. Bell, Pollak contended, "was the Jeremiah Wright of academia," particularly for his role as the originator of a school of thought called critical race theory, which holds, they said, that the United States is a fundamentally white supremacist nation.
