So, I wonder what's going to happen to Ben Smith's rep after the Hannity program airs tonight.  I normally hit the hay before that (I get up at 4:45 AM), but I'll have to stay up for this. :popcorn:

"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

The MSM, if they comment on it at all, will chalk it up to "youthful indiscretion" or some other such b.s.

MSM has probably known about and seen these tapes for 7/8 years so their spin should be prevected by now. They also probably tried to buy them all up.

In the meantime, I thought it might be interesting to have a few fun facts about the late Professor in advance of the show.

This obituary, written upon his death, had some interesting points to make:

Bell was credited with developing “critical race theory,” which suggested that the U.S. legal system was inherently biased against African Americans and other minorities because it was built on an ingrained white point of view. He argued in his many books and lectures that the life experiences of black people and other minorities should be considered in hiring decisions and in applying the law.

Bell maintained that the standards for promotion and tenure at law schools – and Harvard, in particular – were inherently discriminatory and excluded a broad group of minorities. By hiring only graduates of top-tier law schools who had clerked at the Supreme Court, he argued, academia was populated by a uniform group of standard-issue professors, most of them white men.
And why are we not surprised that he was a Farrakhan supporter?
Some scholars, both black and white, challenged Bell’s ideas, as well as his strong support of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Nonetheless, Bell remained one of the country’s most outspoken public intellectuals until his death.
Author James Traub voiced this opinion in his  1993 piece on the professor:
That’s Derek Bell’s bottom line: if it comforts whites, it’s bad; if it comforts blacks–i.e., Farrakhan–it’s good. Bell, along with Farrakhan and so many others, offers victimization as a consolation.
Yes, I imagine there will be so much more to learn about the good professor.

Let's not forget the way Breitbart always worked.  Release just a little bit to hook the left before releasing the main item to reel them in.

I was disappointed with the show too :banghead: but like others have said, this is going to come out in drips, although if it's going to be about Obama's radicalism? it won't work with Obama voters, and I think Independents won't care either.

Bally that is exactly right.  You follow Lee now, right?  His tweets have been classic Breitbart, but somewhat cryptic. They are rolling this out first for a specific reaction.  Let the left laugh about the content, then lower the boom in subsequent videos/expose's.  Unless there is a huge bombshell, President Algae supporters will not care.  Just like Rev. Wright, Acorn, etc.  But, if it gives the Breitbart clan a way to honor their fallen leader, I am A-Ok with that.

What is his Twitter name?  I might be following him, but I'm not sure anymore.  I'd like to follow him.
