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 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) .

He was not proud of his half-brother converting to Islam. He was proud of him cleaning up his lifestyle, shedding his hard-drinking ways. As Obama put it, the "new lifestyle has left him lean and clear-eyed." And, they "can disagree without rancor."

The Chicago Sun-Times covered it with the correct context on 9/7/2007 as quoted below.

This is another turd extracted from the toilet of some sick mind.

From Dreams from My Father, Three Rivers Press, New York, Revised Edition, 2004, ISBN 1-4000-8277-3, p. 441-2.

The person who made me proudest of all, though, was Roy. Actu­ally, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam, and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol. He still works at his accounting firm, but talks about moving back to Kenya once he has enough money. In fact, when we saw each other in Home Squared, he was busy building a hut for himself and his mother, away from our grandfather's compound, in accordance with Luo tradition. He told me then that he had moved forward with his import business and hoped it would soon pay enough to employ Bernard and Abo full-time. And when we went together to stand by the Old Man's grave, I noticed there was finally a plaque where the bare cement had been.

Abongo's new lifestyle has left him lean and clear-eyed, and at the wedding, he looked so dignified in his black African gown with white trim and matching cap that some of our guests mistook him for my father. He was certainly the older brother that day, talking me through prenuptial jitters, patiently telling me for the fifth and sixth time that yes, he still had the ring, nudging me out the door with the observation that if I spent any more time in front of the mirror it wouldn't matter how I looked because we were sure to be late.

Not that the changes in him are without tension. He's prone to make lengthy pronouncements on the need for the black man to lib­erate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture, and scolds Auma for what he calls her European ways. The words he speaks are not fully his own, and in his transition he can sometimes sound stilted and dogmatic. But the magic of his laughter remains, and we can disagree without rancor. His conversion has given him solid ground to stand on, a pride in his place in the world. From that

base I see his confidence building; he begins to venture out and ask harder questions; he starts to slough off the formulas and slogans and decides what works best for him. He can't help himself in this process, for his heart is too generous and full of good humor, his atti­tude toward people too gentle and forgiving, to find simple solutions to the puzzle of being a black man. Toward the end of the wedding, I watched him grinning widely for the video camera, his long arms draped over the shoulders of my mother and Toot, whose heads barely reached the height of his chest. "Eh, brother," he said to me as I walked up to the three of them. "It looks like I have two new mothers now." Toot patted him on the back. "And we have a new son," she said, although when she tried to say "Abongo" her Kansas tongue mangled it hopelessly. My mother's chin started to tremble again, and Abongo lifted up his glass of fruit punch for a toast.

"To those who are not here with us," he said.

"And to a happy ending," I said.

We dribbled our drinks onto the checkered-tile floor. And for that moment, at least, I felt like the luckiest man alive.

ABONGO (ROY) OBAMA
'Certainly the older brother'

September 9, 2007

BY SCOTT FORNEK
Political Editor

The way Barack Obama describes his oldest half-brother in his book, Abongo (Roy) Obama inherited their father's hard-drinking ways but straightened his life out by embracing Islam and his African heritage.

Abongo Obama began using his Luo tribal first name and had sworn off pork, smoking and drinking by the time of his younger brother's 1992 wedding.

"Abongo's new lifestyle has left him lean and clear-eyed, and at the wedding, he looked so dignified in his black African gown with white trim and matching cap that some of our guests mistook him for my father," Obama wrote in Dreams From My Father.

An accountant, Abongo Obama also argued that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture," Obama wrote. "But the magic of his laughter remains, and we can disagree without rancor."
