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?”
Course, Larry Bird’s from there, so . . . fake, but accurate?
Elvis was lucky he made tose comments about Ray Charles when he did. These days, he’d be finished.
Then again, he sort is anyway. Playing for HRC, opening for the Police he used to disdain, etc.
Karl, check the email I sent you.
Heh, though Delio has a point.
Yeah, he does.
Nuance
Teh stoopid….it burns!
I am a Typica White N****r!!!!!Eleventy One!!!!!
He said, “The sheriff is near.”
I’d like to extend this laurel and hearty handshake to our new
I really believe Mickey Kantor when he say’s he’s never used the magic word. Ever. We have now established that Mickey Kantor is a full of shit liar. He deserves to lose his career, just like Mark Furman did. See, I’m fair.
“I’ve never used that word in my entire life, ever, under any circumstance, ever,â€Â
OK that’s a transparent lie, there’s probably no word in the English language that someone by his age has not used, at least not a politician. Yet it doesn’t mean he somehow is a bigot or that the “white nigger” line is true. Senator Byrd used it, but I don’t know as it even makes sense in this context. Sure, he probably despises rural Indiana people and most of the state, but he’d probably use words like “white trash” or “rednecks” instead.
“Elvis was lucky he made tose comments about Ray Charles when he did. These days, he’d be finished.”

I am actually fonder of what Jerry Lee said to Chuck Berry after Jerry Lee was denied the closing spot in a rock & Roll show. Jerry Lee finished his act, set his piano on fire, and said something very famous (and un-PC nasty) to Chuck that, in these times, I wouldn’t dare repeat, even for a cheap laugh.
Very funny, even for a psychotic like JL.
Of course, I must add that I have a very twisted sense of hunor, and am quite old by “Vogue” standards. Therefore, my defense is that I am too gripped by dementia to be held accountable for anything I think is funny.
Nice Oliver’s Army reference, by the way. I love Elvis Costello :)
Less a wigger and more a wickaninny…
He pretty clearly says “Those people are shitty” in reference to Indianans, so would is be too far beyond the pale to believe that he followed up with the “wigger” reference? Kantor appears to be full of it.
