From ABC: Video of Bill Clinton's advisor calling Indiana people sh-t in 1992
From Jake Tapper, Political Punch, ABC

Clinton Informal Adviser on Hoosiers in 1992: "These People are S---"
May 01, 2008 3:15 PM

Mickey Kantor -- Bill Clinton's Trade Representative, a supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, and an informal adviser to her campaign -- once had some not-so-nice things to say about the Hoosiers his chosen candidate is working so hard to pursue.

As seen in The War Room, watching election returns come in, Kantor said in hushed tones to James Carville, “Look at Indiana, wait, wait – look at Indiana. 42-40. It doesn’t matter if we win. Those people are s---. Excuse me."

You can watch it HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_wKOgMNs0U&feature=related

the moment comes about 4:45 into the clip.

17. Naw, you would need Bill or HRC saying it
If it were either of them - I would email the You Tube to my Indiana family members. This is too far away.

19. Who are your Indiana family members voting for?
If it's Clinton there's plenty of other stuff you can send, like the article about "Screw Em".

4. What does stuff Reverend Wright said 7 years ago have to do with Obama?
I don't think we should be playing these guilt by association games, but if we are going to let's be fair about it.

8. She needs to rject, denounce and repudiate
Otherwise it must be assumed that she tacitly condones such remarks.

Somebody made disparaging remarks about Obama's race in the Mary Moppins Elementary School newspaper. Will Hillary reject and denounce these comments?

9. You live by the sword . .
you die by the sword. She's taking credit for her experience in Bill Clinton's presidency. She gets to load up on ALL of that "experience."

18. Hillary is only pretending like Indiana "matters"
Edited on Thu May-01-08 03:25 PM by bluestateguy
As soon as the polls close on May 6, she's going to pack up and leave the state, never to return there again, or to even try and curry their favor for the real election in November.

28. I'm Kicking This
Because I think it ought to go on the public record that it was ABC's Jake Tapper who raised this one in the first place.
