Heritage Foundation's "New Potential Bombshell" Blows Up In Their Faces

Meanwhile, the Heritage Foundation reported a new potential bombshell in the saga today, which Breitbart and other conservative media outlets quickly seized on — Professor Bell visited President Obama twice in 2010.

However, ABC News’ Jake Tapper looked into the claim, and found that it was a different Derrick A. Bell listed in the White House visitor logs, and that the visits were merely a White House tour.

Can anybody explain to me why a black professor visiting the White House is a "Potential Bombshell"? Christ, the stupidity of this country is killing me.
