Hmm...maybe a group of blogs can do that this Sunday on their blogs...
With so many very damaging things coming out this week about her and her campaign tactics, including Sid Blumenthals rightwing daily attacks being sent to the media in the guise of real info (see Huffington Post), you'd think the news would have a hell of alot more to talk about besides Rev. Wright.
They don't believe, obviously, that oppressed people have the right to express themselves, sometimes in hyperbole (who doesn't sometimes)...all the while ignoring the comments of "mainstream pastors" like Hagee, Robertson, Falwell, etc. who can get away with every single hateful (and wrong) comment (except for an initial small gasp and then silence), along with the Limbaughs and O'Liellys...both of whose shows the Clintons have appeared on.
STFU and DROP OUT.
Thanks

Karma is a biz-natch Ms. SHRILLARY. I wonder how the poor, white folks gonna like being called the n-word. And what self-respecting black person would vote for her if people that work in her campaign feel this way about working people or people of Indiana, or black people? Stick a fork in her.
Watch the video, MicKKKey KKKantor instantly knew what he said was wrong to say, but that's how he really feels. And he mumbles something about (paraphrasing) speaking in front of "friends" or people working on "their" side.
And almost every fully integrated neighborhood I've observed in NC is comprised of working class people--the only blacks in most all white, affluent neighborhoods are well paid athletes and in the past, redlining and "whites only" deed restrictions played into it--now, it's more of a de facto segregation based on old laws long overturned. Blacks and whites also worked in the fields together, farming, and in other occupations, and if not for federal and state laws designed by rich whites to keep blacks "in their place" and pitting working whites against working blacks, fomenting constant racism and fear, there would not have been nearly the racial strife seen in this part of the country. The southern ruling class has always done this, through slavery and into the modern era. It's what the ruling class does--divide and conquer, just as they're attempting to do today.
I'm not hearing the "worthless white nigger" part. Even when I crank the volume, I just get an inaudible whisper.

I hear it completely and clearly. It's really clear, and audible with headphones on. It's true. If after using headphones and listening to it several times, you still can't hear it, you might want to get a hearing test and/or get a new Miracle Ear--of course not covered by your health insurance.
It's amazing that MicKKKey KKKantor can offend so many groups in just two sentences. Indianans, people of color, working poor, and people who aren't racists. They fact that George Stephanie and Jamie CarVile said nothing about his slander speaks volumes about their lack of character.
As for me, I don't understand why we're just learning about this now. This film came out in 1993; if Kantor really said what is alleged here, wouldn't Bob Dole have mentioned in in the 1996 Presidential election?
I'll wait until the footage is verified by a credible source before deciding how bad this is.
The bottom line is this: how the hell is this useful? As much as we rightfully lambasted George and Charlie and that Pennsylvania lady "Nash Whatshername" for the flag pin question, which is just plain stupid, doesn't this stoop to the level of flag pins?
I love politics...LOVE it. But I am beginning to suffer from poli-fatigue because of the constant barrage of silliness.
This is from the DVD, The War Room. The relevant part starts at about 4:40. The "white ni**ers" part is not very clear. After repeating many times, it is possible that he said "those people are shitting" (Bush's campaign) rather than "those people (Indiana voters) are shit". That completely changes the meaning.
And now we have this denial. Looks like we got this one wrong. I'm sorry I posted the first comment about it but give the Huffington Post and some Kos commenters credit for catching it.
"those people are shit... how would you like to be a worthless white ni**er?"
Ben Smith at politico has updated his piece, saying he spoke to the editor of the YouTube video. NO ALTERATION, according to the editor.
UPDATE: I spoke to the editor of the video who said that he enhanced, but didn't alter, the audio in the second portion of the video. And the first clip is "no longer available."

Maybe that's supposed to be "Indianian", but I always thought that that term referred to people from a city in Pennsylvania...
I guess am not sure why people being called shit is alright, but N is not.
I never did believe that Kantor used the "N" word. Many blacks insult Jews but it is very rare for a Jew to utter a slur against blacks.
We can always hope Mr. Kantor's threateed lawsuit is broad enough to include you, DailyKos, et al. Your post is missing something Mr. Kantor might appreciate and certainly deserves. It's spelled A-P-O-L-O-G-Y. But he won't get it, will he. The leftist loon blogs slandler, lie, distort, smear, whatever is necessary to try to destroy liberals, moderates and conservatives who commit either of the two great sins: are patriots or persons of faith.
Do persons of faith include Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and Al Sharpton? How about Mr. Obama? Are Pat Tilman's family patriots? don't think I've seen any of them trashed here, so I guess they don't count.
