The video played at the start of Hannity’s Fox News show and posted on The Daily Caller website was of an open-press speech that Obama delivered to a crowd at Hampton University in June 2007, months after he launched his presidential campaign. The speech was covered at the time, including by Fox News and Carlson on the MSNBC show he then hosted, but had never been released in full before.

Hannity introduced the tape as a “bombshell” that includes “some of the most divisive class warfare and racially charged rhetoric ever used by Barack Obama.” Though a local newspaper posted videos of some of the remarks online and reporters from major news organizations covered it, Hannity said all of that attention “omit[ted] the most inflammatory comments” from Obama.

But a portion of the speech — including Obama’s introduction of Wright — has been on YouTube since 2007.

Also already public was Obama’s discussion of “quiet riots that take place every day [that] are born from the same place as the fires of destruction and the police decked out in riot gear and death.” President George W. Bush, he said, had done nothing to ease the tensions. Discussing the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Obama said that “the poverty and the hopelessness was there long before the hurricane. All the hurricane did was to pull the curtain back for all the world to see.”

Other parts are newly unearthed. Poor people “need help with basic skills, how to shop, how to show up for work on time, how to wear the right clothes, how to act appropriately in an office,” Obama said in what Drudge teased for hours as a particularly explosive line.

“We don’t need to build more highways out in the suburbs. We should be investing in minority-owned businesses, in our neighborhoods,” Obama also said, in another line that hadn’t been quoted until Tuesday.

Though the speech at Hampton, a historically black Virginia college, hasn’t been part of the debate in 2012, Carlson and others discussed it at the time it was delivered. Carlson said Tuesday that he’d relied on the text of Obama’s prepared remarks in covering the speech on his MSNBC program in 2007, though he did air a clip of it then.

The video’s promotion Tuesday was the latest effort to reignite the controversy over Obama’s connections to Wright, the former pastor of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ, who expressed anger toward white Americans and the U.S. government in multiple sermons. “God damn America,” the pastor famously repeated in one.

After Wright’s remarks emerged during the 2008 Democratic primary, Obama initially responded with a major speech on race, delivered in Philadelphia that March. But, by May, he had severed his ties to Wright and the church, and said he was “outraged” and “saddened” by remarks the preacher had made.
