Did Professor Derrick Bell Visit the White House?

By Jake Tapper

The conservative Heritage Foundation shows some pluck by searching for the late law school professor Derrick A. Bell in the White House visitor's logs, and finds that "Visitor logs show that Derrick A. Bell visited the White House twice since President Obama took office.

The logs show two visits by an individual of that name on January 29 and 31, 2010.

Why would this matter?

Bell has recently splashed into the conservative media world after Breitbart.com and Fox News showed some video of then-Harvard Law School student Barack Obama speaking at a rally on campus in 1990 in support of Bell's efforts to improve the diversity of the school's faculty.

The video had been previously shown on Frontline in 2008, except for a scene of Obama hugging the professor.

Bell without question held some controversial views and some conservatives seek to portray this as yet another close Obama associate with radical views - with a lapdog media covering it up.
