Hip Hop 4 Prez: Clinton Aide Calls People of Indiana "Worthless" White Ni##ers!! (SOHH Blogs)

blogmaster@sohh.com (SOHH Blog Network) — Mon, 05 May 2008 07:21:56 GMT

Check out this video. It's a flick of Hillary Clinton's adviser Mickey Kantor calling Indianans worthless white niggers in 1992. And yes that is James Carville and George Stephenopoulos. I haven't seen much talk about this in the mainstream media yet. Maybe it's because Kantor isn't a pastor and isn't black. But this definitely seems to be a much crazier comment than anything...

As seen in The War Room , watching election returns come in, [Mickey] Kantor seems to say in hushed tones to James Carville, 'Look at Indiana, wait, wait -- look at Indiana. 42-40. It doesn't matter if we win. Those people are s---. Excuse me.' " After noting that both Kantor and War Room director D.A. Pennebaker have reportedly denied that Kantor...

I don't know whether it's being pushed by actual (stupid) Obama supporters or by Rushbo's "Operation Chaos" types, but no, Mickey Kantor didn't use an expletive or a racial slur against Indianans, and the tape has been doctored to make it appear that he did. And I'm glad to say that as far as I know no pro-Obama blogger picked up on the story (though Byron York of NRO got...

In defense of Mickey Kantor (The Carpetbagger Report)

Fri, 02 May 2008 19:15:35 GMT

I hesitate to even mention this, in part because it's a classic non-story, and in part because I suspect the target of the story would much prefer that people stop talking about. But once in a while, I assume readers want to know what the political world is buzzing about and today's topic du jour is a comment Mickey Kantor made 16 years ago.
