Please see below the instant reaction to the latest lame Drudge/Hannity desperation tactics.
Sam Stein @samsteinhp
Tucker Carlson actually covered Obama's quiet riot speech on his old MSNBC show http://nbcnews.to/QMthLf
Andrew Kaczynski @BuzzFeedAndrew
This speech was actually covered on Tucker Carlson's MSNBC show Tucker in 2007 oddly enough.

GAMECHANGER - Obama, in Drudge video, says impoverished communities need help regardless of whether or not they're hit by hurricanes
Nate Silver @fivethirtyeight
The fact that Drudge is trying to make news would weigh against the hypothesis that the polls are tightening.
Sarah Reese Jones @srjones66
HOW YOU CAN TELL THEY ARE LOSING: Fox and Drudge stoop down to Rev Wright again. FYI, this is not working, again.
Jared Keller @jaredbkeller
That's it? RT @myurow: Here's the Reverend Wright clip Drudge and Fox are teasing: http://bit.ly/T06uYM
Tim Dickinson @7im I believe this is what they call "grasping at straws"
Ben Smith @BuzzFeedBen
This stuff has all been on YouTube since the last campaign, Obama's race, religion, pastor known a bit longer
Sam Stein @samsteinhp
nevermind, the part Drudge is teasing about Rev Wright has been on youtube since 2008 http://youtu.be/geSRuNtlg24
Stefan Becket @stefanjbecket
That was lame.
Farhad Manjoo @fmanjoo
If Drudge/Hannity really are touting this speech they're idiots. It's a fantastic speech. We should be proud a president made this speech.

So basically the news in the Hampton Roads video is that Obama is black, opposed the Iraq War, & thought NOLA was neglected after Katrina.
Jason Linkins @dceiver
This is probably just a new dubstep version of the Hampton Roads speech.
Dave Zirin @EdgeofSports
According to the death pornographers at @buzzfeed, the "new Obama video" has been online since 2007. A speech at Hampton.
Michael Winship @MichaelWinship
Extrapolating from Drudge headlines, shocking Obama tape is same as one popped up in 2008 campaign from 2007 Hampton U. convocation. 0 new.
sethdmichaels @sethdmichaels
sooooo, you basically already have to think Obama is bent on revenge for racial grievance for this video to bother you: http://bit.ly/QVPG5E
Jake Sherman @JakeSherman
here's where conservative critics lashed out against the Obama speech drudge is pimping …. but this was 2007 http://bit.ly/QCo1pX
Walter Shapiro @waltershapiroPD
Since Drudge & Co. believe Rev. Wright is potent GOP weapon, remember: No incumbent president has lost votes over anything pre-White House.
