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.

The video surfaces as guilty-by-association politics is doing it's best to crumble the Obama campaign.

Good Lord the hate whitey line is getting longer and longer. Throw in La Raza, and string up the whitey pinata!!!!

But, the claim that Obama is somehow only guilty by mere association is pure bunk. Sorry. He's being judged on his own words.

A poster at Politico, took the time to pull some excerpts from Obama's books and posted in the comments section of this piece: www.politico.com/new s/stories/0508/10031.html

“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students, the foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

“I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER'S RACE.” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added, caps. in original) .

"The emotion between the races could never be pure..... the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart." Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

“That hate hadn’t gone away,” [Obama wrote, blaming] “white people— some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

“I had grown accustomed, everywhere, to suspicions between the races.” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) . “[The globe is a place] where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere.... That's the world! On which hope sits.” Barack Hussein Obama (quoting Wright), “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

“[Obama vowed that he would] never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm [Malcolm X], DuBois and Mandela.” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

“In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school…. I studied the Koran….” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

“We are no longer just a Christian nation,” “We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” Barack Hussein Obama, “The Audacity of Hope” (emp. added) .

“Lolo [Obama's step father] followed a brand of Islam.... I looked to Lolo for guidance.” Barack Hussein Obama, “The Audacity of Hope” (emp. added) .

“The person who made me proudest of all, though, was [half brother] Roy .. He converted to Islam.” Barack Hussein Obama, “Dreams From My Father” (emp. added) .

The actual quote from the book is from page 261 and is as follows:

"Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging.

Context is everything, but it really changes nothing in this case. If the right lessons were learned from WW2, then I'd expect Obama to have more to say about current day roundups, camps, and constitutional abuses.

Immigration still has a dark underbelly, and that he can not or will not address what lies beneath it now, confirms his place ensuring the status quo, IMO.

He is no honest broker, but merely a politician.
