Soledad O’Brien Responds On Twitter To My Charges, Refuses To Answer Whether She Took Instruction From White House Prior To Joel Pollak Interview

Related: Soledad O’Brien Guest Accuses Joel Pollak Of Being Racist, “Afraid Of Blacks”, Doesn’t Know Joel’s Wife Black

To which I responded.

And then I asked two questions, both of which she declined to answer.

Here’s my post from yesterday, which kicked this off:

Soledad’s performance here is absolutely jaw-dropping. This video could just as easily been headlined, “Soledad OBrien Melts Down, Ends Reputation As Journalist, Unmasks Herself For All Time As Leftist Propagandist” Joel Pollak handles the situation perfectly, staying on offense, and making all the right points. Joel had the following to say to me after I told him he had performed impeccably: “I thought of Andrew, and the rest was easy.” Perfect advice for all of us, going forward.

From Breitbart.tv:

Watch CNN’s Soledad O’Brien attempt to down-play the relationship between Barack Obama and radical racialist Derrick Bell. In the ultimate example of the mainstream media running interference for left-wing ideologues, O’Brien and her panel characterize Bell as just “a Harvard law professor,” they re-define critical race theory as a benign academic pursuit and, naturally, attempt to portray Breitbart’s Joel Pollak as a racist who is afraid of black people. Also notice how Ms. O’Brien confirms that the media has acted as gate-keeper on information about Obama’s past and determines what the public needs to know about him.

    Anyone else hearing crickets chirping at this point ?

    Excellent, Mr. Dollard. They can not handle questioning like this. Keep pushing !!!!

  • KenBlochPhotography

    she completely embarrassed herself in that interview. Also, why does Jay Thomas have a job at CNN?  he came off as a huge racist, or just a dumbass liberal…hard to tell the difference

    Ms. O’Brien proved she is not an objective reporter/news presenter. She’s clearly an advocate for the Obama Administration.

  • Just a Girl

     Is there a difference ?

  • richwill

    None

  • Obamaoutnow

    After this program aired, Wikipedia contained a definition of Critical Race Theory that matched O’Brien’s on-air definition almost verbatim. Most interestingly, it contained the phrase, “intersection of race”. Wikipedia has since updated the page. This further proves how pervasive the tentacles of collusion from the Obama regime really are. Breitbart!

  • shoptalk

    Despite Ms. O’Brien’s assertion that Critical Race Theory rejects white supremacy, here’s what another “esteemed” Harvard professor, Cornel West, wrote in the introduction to Critical Race Theory: Key Writings That Formed the Movement (1995):“This comprehensive movement in thought and life – created primarily, though not exclusively, by progressive intellectuals of color – compels us to confront critically the most explosive issue in American civilization: the historical centrality and complicity of law in upholding white supremacy…”

    Also, actor Jay Thomas’ pathetic accusations of white racism didn’t trouble Joel Pollak; Mr. Pollak’s wife is black. She’s from South Africa and her mother was a political appointee of none other than Nelson Mandela.

    Some racist.

    Simply outstanding Pat! Thank you, Thank You Thank you! Great job!!!

    Soledad O”brien’s opinion are not important to me…… never watch her….. don’t care at all about her opinion or explanation…… the few times that I  have watched her program (for a few seconds )     she seems  and sounds   very ignorant  and  very tense when se talks…….  very tenes and very uptight……

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_VPZXYCU6GM2A2JSG5S66SPYC3U TyS

    I couldn’t help but laugh at her pathetic grammar in her response; perhaps it was a 12-year old responding

  • Owen_Kellogg

    I loved it when she kept asking Pollak what other dirt he had dug up.

    “Mr. Pollak, what other stories can we expect from you in the future (so that we can work out a way in advance to defend Baraq)”

  • Skeena73

    Soledad is a coniving evil woman. I watched a lot in the past and when she was interviewing some one and she was not getting replies she did not like she would interrupt them and try and get them to turn to her way of thinking. When they would not respond she would say sorry we’re out of time and cut them off. She leans to the left so hard it looks like she had one leg shortened.

  • hammer666

    Folks, this is the left and they are emboldened by the fact that as our Constitution erodes, they see no threat to them or no one to stop them except elections, elections that will be fraught with issues and therefore, have Obama a victor at the end. Someone has to protect the Constitution and some of us should honor the code to defend and protect it ow, not later, when it has been made “illegal”……. It’s time. Advocates of the Obama administration have nothing to fear nor do they care if they look “bad”, they are serving their masters well. Patriots on the other side, seem to complaint and complaint and point out the obvious. It’s time for real action.

    What is Soledad afraid of? Thank goodness for the rest of the even tempered people at the table, white and black, that took a more objective approach. Just as she can’t wait for the next bomb-shell I can’t wait to see which way she will swing in response.

    Soledad is an insufferable woman. I hope her parents are proud… probably are considering they named her after a US prison.

  • Jimmydoom13

    Sinbad O’ brien made a total fool of herself, while Joel was excellent!

  • http://twitter.com/thejollylamas jolly lama

    Great work Mr. Dollard. Vet the Media!!

  • JDelta

    Since Soledad likes using Wikipedia as a source maybe she’ll be surprised to discover that even Wikipedia tells the truth about her.

  • Mike

    Put one in the WIN column for Mr. Pollak

  • nospyme

    Soledad has been an avid water carrier for the left since the first time she got on the air. Mr. Pollak handled her politely, yet firmly staying on point. Kudos to both you Pat & Joel for speaking truth to the unabashedly lying left!

  • Just a Girl

     These are the same idiots that will spread some video about Joseph Kony regarding the exploitation of children, scream that we pull out of the Middle East, and yet support an invading force being sent into Uganda…while still ignoring the abuse that Muslim women and children endure in Middle Eastern countries, or their own countries for that matter.

    The unmitigated hypocrisy and flat out lies from these washed up, pathetic leftists is enough to make your head spin. And if you disagree….

    R A C I S T !!!!

    It’s all they have left now.

  • shutterbug

    I thought her head was going to explode.

  • remmy

    How can these idiots be so dumb when it comes to Obama.  The only reason I can guess is that they are as radical and left wing as he is.

  • http://patdollard.com/ Pat Dollard

    Thanks, man.

  • http://patdollard.com/ Pat Dollard

    Thank you.

  • Charlie from New Jersey

    Jeez, she works for CNN.  What did you expect?

  • http://twitter.com/1Way2theFather Brooke Anglin

    This is awesome. She is an idiot, cutting her own throat like most leftists who are “against racism” but yet she and her crew are racist bigots. *puke*

  • Lone Wolf

     Ding! Ding! Ding!

    All citizens need to understand that the Lamestream Media has been covering up and lying to them for a *long* time now.

  • Slam7589

    Jay Thomas and Soledad Obrien are both blithering idiots.

  • fmder

    Joel Pollack handled himself very well.   Was very impressive against the panel.

  • 7Axel

    Heh.  Pat kicks ass and so does Joel.

  • http://twitter.com/Winston80 Winston

    She is a douchebag

  • http://patdollard.com USMC3112

    Now, that kind of questioning is what journalism used to be like. Thata babe Pat! Doing the media’s job for them. That kind of questioning, Andrew Breitbart would be proud of, and I’m sure he is proud of you!!!

  • ATTILA

      SLUNT

  • Adrian

    This is the best guilt-by-association video ever.  Obama actually touched Derrick Bell and everyone knows who Derrick Bell is.  The video made a huge impact.  The mainstream media hasn’t let the issue rest — the video is practically on a continuous loop on all the major networks.  It’s the top news story nationally and internationally.  Even the most die hard Obots know it’s over.  Romney/Snowe will just sail into the White House in November.  Breitbart would be proud.

  • Just a Girl

     Welcome.

    And thank you. Thank you for being an actual MAN, and not a vagina. The world is lucky to have you.

  • JDelta

    Let me ask you something. Why do people like you do this? Why do you come on sites like this and say stupid shit that you think is snarky but really just makes you look like a fool? Here’s some free advice. You obviously are incapable of understanding a great many things. Instead of trying to be clever and coming off like a whiny baby with shitty diapers, why don’t you actually use some of the extremely limited and valuable time we are allowed on this earth to open your mind and do some critical thinking. It’s a mighty sad existence being just another faceless corpse in a mass grave of walking, talking beating-heart cadavers.

  • Bob USMC

    Way to keep after them, Pat!   Since he passed on, I have been thinking of Andrew Breitbart as well when I have been engaging the useful idiot libs. 

    Andrew Breitbart is a great American hero!  What a great warrior!!!

  • Myavast1

     Soledad O’Brien and the rest of Obama’s operatives no longer bother denying what was obvious 4 years ago. They’re nothing but propagandists.
