Kantor story building
Has made his way onto First Read as well

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/

I expect this to flameout by tonight when he gets thrown under the bus by Hillary.

29. The most fun is watching
the Hillbots farting and tap dancing in an attempt to make this story go away.

"But is he really on her payroll? Did he actually cash his checks"

"You used the wrong tense. It should be the pluperfect subjunctive and you used the present indicative."

"Oh yeah -- but what about Obama's kindergarten teacher who had a run in her stocking."

Set phasers on FAIL.

3. I honestly just hope the good people of Indiana hear what the Clinton people think of them and their
white working class brothers and sisters around the country.

HILLARY 'TOWN HALL' TO BE HOSTED BY EX-CLINTON STAFFER STEPHANOPOULOS

Just hours before the Indiana and North Carolina presidential primaries, ABCNEWS has offered to air a 'town hall' meeting with Hillary Clinton -- to be hosted by former Clinton staffer George Stephanopoulos!

Do you think maybe this should be canceled now?

14. So this is NOT the real campaign. THIS IS FROM A MOVIE ABOUT THE 1992 CAMPAIGN...
From NBC's Domenico Montanaro

With the Indiana and North Carolina primaries less than 96 hours away, making its way around the pro-Obama blogosphere is a clip in this video of former prominent Clinton administration official Mickey Kantor calling Indianans an expletive. It is an excerpt from the movie "The War Room" about the 1992 Clinton campaign. Kantor, James Carville and George Stephanopoulous are reading over results from various states, including Indiana, when Kantor says:

“Look at Indiana, wait, wait, look at Indiana: 42-40. It doesn’t matter if we win. Those people are . Excuse me."


http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/

It's from a MOVIE about the campaign......!

Kantor himself said it, on camera. Not an actor playing Kantor, reading Oliver Stone's dialogue.

32. Oh - OK - I Get It - These Guys (Kantor, Carville & Georgie S.) Were Just Acting......
this really didn't happen in real time - they were given scripts to say these things for the movie version of what goes on in the War Room. Thanks for the spin - I mean explanation. (sarcasm)

16. This is really amazing!
Edited on Fri May-02-08 10:58 AM by msmcghee
I start reading all these threads about kantorgate and I can't figure out what's happening. I hear this is going to destroy Hillary and all kinds of other stuff.

I finally find a video clip that seems to be part of a documentary - shot at the campaign HQ near the close of the election (I think) as they realize they are probably going to lose - but they are desperately trying to joke about it and keep their spirits up. It's a highly emotional scene where Mickey Kantor says while going down a list of returns - and notices that they only got to 42% in IN - he quips in a joking way "Those people are shit" under his breath - while grinning. And that's what's going to destroy Hillary? It's not even about Hillary Clinton.

(Edited to remove references to wrong election.)

You folks must be feeling a little desperate right now. I'll be surprised if she'll even respond to this.

35. The Indianapolis Star, Indiana's largest newspaper . .
. . has just endorsed Clinton. I wonder if they'll retract that endorsement in shame now that they must realize that the Clintons and everyone who supports them have completely and totally hated and despised all Indianans since 1992.

:sarcasm:

20. Just in time for the Friday \ Weekend Media Cycle.
Stick a fork in her she is done.

This will be played in every radio station in Indiana and you can bet your ass that they will backlash.


Kantor is in a completely different league than Rev. Shit head. This is a guy who is on the payroll, who has been an integral part of the Clinton Machine for many, many years.


It's one thing for your Priest to go around saying retarded comments it's another to have someone be apart of your Administration, your campaign.


...This will be her swan song.
