Clinton Advisor, Mickey Kantor Caught on Tape Calling Indiana Voters 'Worthless White N*ggers'

Posted May 2, 2008 Subscribe to our news feed!

Advisor to the Hillary Clinton '08 campaign and Clinton-Gore '92 chairman, Mickey Kantor was caught on tape hurling insults at Indiana voters. In the footage, which must be around 16 years old, Kantor assures his colleagues that a win or loss in the state of Indiana doesn't matter because "those people are shit."

Kantor, flanked by strategist James Carville and advisor George Stephanopoulos, then lowers his voice and asks, "how would you like to be a worthless, white n*gger?"

The video surfaces as guilty-by-association politics is doing it's best to crumble the Obama campaign. Just when the dust from the emergence of Wright's sermon snippets had begun to settle, the pastor appeared on PBS and at an NAACP convention with a new speech about race in America. While some found the speech to be inspiring and insightful, the man's words further inflamed those who accuse Wright of putting forth hate speech.

The NAACP event was followed by an appearance at a National Press Club conference, which was organized by staunch Clinton supporter Barbara Reynolds. The resurgence of Wright coverage forced presidential candidate Barack Obama to finally denounce his former pastor of 20 years.

"When I say I find these comments appalling, I mean it. It contradicts everything I am about and who I am," Obama said, adding that Wright's comments "end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate."

It remains to be seen whether the Clinton camp will take the same hits for this latest Kantor gaffe as did Obama. According to the record, probably not.

This portion of the claim has been challenged and the cropped version at youtube is no longer available to the general public. The original video from "The War Room" is available and I provide that below. I am unsure what is said. The part about "those people are shit" is clearly said on the video. Comments invited as to what people hear.

Clinton Adviser Claims Indiana Slur Video Is Conspiracy

Sam Stein

May 2, 2008 11:32 AM

A former aide to President Bill Clinton, and current informal adviser to Sen. Hillary Clinton, expressed outrage and shock on Friday after a videotape from 1992 surfaced allegedly showing him describing Indianans as "white n---rs."

Mickey Kantor, who served as campaign chairman during Clinton's 1992 run for the White House and says he has offered help and advice to Sen. Clinton, insisted that the tape was a fraud and that he was exploring legal steps against the individual who posted it online.

"I've never used that word in my entire life, ever, under any circumstance, ever," an angry Kantor told The Huffington Post, citing his and his parent's work fighting for civil rights. "I have listened to [the video] and so have you. You can't tell what it is I'm saying in that second sentence, you can't decipher that."

Indeed, a review of the original copy of the 1993 film The War Room, from which the excerpt was taken (around the 4:40 mark) 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?"

[nc - sounds like "How would you like to be [inaudible] in Indiana this morning." What does anyone else hear???]

[nc - questioned comment at about 4:40 mark of THIS video]

The director of the film, moreover, says that Kantor never uttered those words. "He does not say that. He does not say that," D.A. Pennebaker told Ben Smith.

The cropped video, which spread through the Internet like wildfire on Friday morning, shows Kantor with fellow former Bill Clinton staffers James Carville and George Stephanopoulos discussing results from the general election. In the footage, Kantor approaches the two aides and says, "Look at Indiana -- wait, wait, look at Indiana. 42-40. It doesn't matter if we win, those people are shit." That much seems true, though Pennebaker says Kantor was referring to the George H.W. Bush White House. The rest can be viewed below:

Kantor, on Friday, insisted that the latter part of his statement never took place and that it made no sense for him to use such language.

"Indiana was not even on our radar screen," he said, "And I was talking about the polling and not the people... If you look at The War Room, this is not the way Carville or George interpreted my statement. This is frankly libelous."

Kantor said he was in the process of contacting "the best" libel lawyers to approach YouTube.com about the process of removing the video from its site. He suggested that The Huffington Post, too, should not print even his defense, as it would be an advancement of a non-story.

"I don't need to be defended," he wrote. "When you write it, what you are doing is extended the libel."

While Kantor said he had no idea who was behind the video or what intent he or she might have, he offered that political motives were at play.

"Many people are subject to this kind of being used in a way to try and stir people up," he said. "I can't say it more clearly, but I had never used that word... My parents would come from the grave and kill me if I used that word." More in Politics...
