And so, andrew brietbart's final "devastating" video of a young President Obama...

...is him saying that students should open their hearts and minds to a professor who teaches inclusion and taking full advantage of their educational opportunities.

WOW.

I find it very fitting that his final BLOCKBUSTER is so insignificant that it will go over like a lead balloon. It's going to be about as popular, as my Mother used to say, as a fart in church.

Upon seeing this, I could only think of the fifth act, fifth scene of Macbeth and one of the most famous of all of Shakespeare's lines;

Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

andy breitbart, an idiot full of sound and fury and signifying NOTHING!

How fiting that this will be the last thought that many of us, and most certainly me, will ever waste on this sorry allegedly human being.

PEACE!

Remember how Michael Winslow would do the badly dubbed Martial Arts movie in the "Police Academy" movies?

I have to confess that I LOVED those movies and Michael Winslow is one of my heroes.

Rather than being pissed "off" at the baggers, I'd rather piss "on" them. Then again, some of the baggers may like it. Pleasing baggers is not among my life's ambitions.

...a very large group of very intelligent people of varied races and national origin come together to support a professor's principled stand that there should be more minority women in tenure track positions in the Harvard Law School. A future President of the United States supports equal opportunity along with his professor.

This is what the rightists believe will bring the President down?

In a way, it just shows the myopia of the right in America today. They still believe that this is the pre-civil rights era and that racism is socially acceptable.

For America's sake, I hope that they lose this electionVERY BADLY.

Thank you for posting this, csziggy!

on edit it would have shown Obama obviously in love with the so-called Professor Bell (the part about good looks and easy charm in abundance?) and all that stuff about organizing. Yeah, it was an orientation for law students but by the time Andy was done with it, it would have shown Obama organizing against whites or republicans or the truth or something.

Ye of little faith. It coulda been real ugly.

that there are that many blatant racists still alive and well in the year 2012. What is even scarier is that it took a black POTUS to REALLY bring it out. After all, if Barack Obama were not President, Tea Party would not even exist. It's nothing but a gathering of religious bigots who can't stand to see a black man coming off Air Force One.

I only hace one VERY minor point of disagrement.

The teabagger movement may not officially be there with a white president, but the same hate filled energy would find an outletfor 2 reasons. First, the koch brothers and their peers and minions will always be able to herd their "useful idiots" anytime and anyplace they want them. Secondly, the teabagger movement consists primarily, of the mcsame/palin(comparison) rallygoers. If not for teabaggerism, they'd still be gathering somewhere, possibly more secretive and certainly without as much of the fawning media's idiotic attention.

Unfortunately, racists will always be there. You are spot on when you said that a black POTUS brought them out. A result of President Obama's election that was certainly unforeseen by me, is that to many, open expressions of racism became socially acceptable again. YUCK!

Thanks for your response.

PEACE!

You see a young Harvard law student introducing an esteemed professor, during a student protest for greater faculty diversity. You see talented young people taking a principled stand at a major ivy league university. You hear him sounding much like he does now, and wonder if it was in anyone's mind that this young man could someday be president.

I really enjoyed seeing it.
