Uh-Oh!
Rev. Wright… WHO?
Via Wonkette:
In steps Mickey Kantor, the chairman of Bill [Clinton’s] campaign, to express his views on the good blue-collars of Indiana. They are not only the pride and soul of America, according to the subtitles, but they are also “shit” and “white niggers.”
(emphasis mine)
What Clinton’s People Really Think About Indiana

Note: Kantor denies claim
** UPDATE **
Some progressive sites, (one in particular which I won’t link to), are saying that it is wrong to show this video… that we should be taking the high road. Well I’m tired of taking the high road. Look what the high road got us in 2000 and 2004.
So many people in politics love to fling poo. The Rev. Wright story is a prime example. In no way does this man dictate what Barack Obama does, yet for weeks we were told it mattered. IT DOES NOT MATTER! Just poo-flinging to make Obama look bad.
But, congratulations. It worked as planned.
** UPDATE II **
Maybe it is a hoax after all:
In an interview with the Huffington Post’s Sam Stein, Kantor said, “I’ve never used that word in my entire life, ever, under any circumstance, ever … If you look at The War Room, this is not the way [James] Carville or George [Stephanopoulos] interpreted my statement. This is frankly libelous … My parents would come from the grave and kill me if I used that word.” In his report on the interview, Stein concluded, “A review of the original copy … is virtually inaudible. The sound suggests, if anything, that instead of saying ‘How would you like to be a worthless white n****r?’ Kantor says, ‘How would you like to be in the White House right now?’”
