A Former Clinton Staffer on the Good Folks of Indiana

submitted by Tofumar

1 decade 6 years 10 months 2 weeks ago

Take a listen to Clintonite Mickey Kantor in 1992. If you keep watching at the end, you'll see little Stephy looking over some numbers.

I'm not as anti-trade as many in the populist wing of the Democratic party, but I wonder how the comments in this video will play in Indiana coming out of the mouth of such a staunch free trader.

I'm upvoting because I suspect this'll be the talk of the town in political circles for the weekend. However, I would've titled this something like "Why the Democratic Primary needs to stop NOW."

This is too toxic. Other sites are saying this clip includes the phrase "white n*gger", though I don't hear that at all.

This is bad for everyone who isn't committed to John McCain's election.

From Controversy explodes over Clinton YouTube video

The video is a clip from the movie "The War Room," which is a behind the scenes look at the 1992 Bill Clinton campaign.

Hillary Clinton's Indiana spokesman Jonathon Swain says what wasn't clear from this small video clip, but is clear from a fuller context, is that Kantor was referring to the pollsters who took an Indiana poll, not the people of Indiana.

Swain also says that a racial epithet was dubbed over. Politics at the speed of light. This YouTube account created less than a day ago and already it is news. I'm wondering why we bother with elections. Let's just create a new television reality show for all presidential candidates. The one left standing at the end gets to be America's newest dickhead.

[ed] I'm upvoting only because this type of shit politics needs exposed wherever it happens

Here is what CNN is reporting on the Clinton response:
