If the Cantor statement was true as alleged in the video,
then why was this not an issue in the 1996 election? The film was released in 1994. The repubs would have been all over it!

:wtf:

6. Not according to the DIRECTOR of
the film. But you keep spinning away.

8. Does the director of the film support the Clinton campaign? And how do you tell me
that both my eyes AND my ears are lying?

20. There are other Sen Obama supporters
who have already admitted that after listening to the ORIGINAL film with the volume up, it's obvious the you tube is crap. But beleive what you like - you will anyway.

10. WTF does that mean? He clearly said shitty--it fits the context too. Anyone who
tries to deny this is fucking insane.

9. He's talking about the polling, not the people. Nice try.

11. Mmmm....he was talking about Indiana--that's what I heard from the man himself. Watch the
video, listen to the context. And then spin yourself into oblivion.

16. No. He said "INDIANA!!" with such incredulity, and then "those people are shitty--excuse me."

18. The numbers from Indiana, he was incredulous, and was referring to the pollsters.
Time to move on to the things that will help Michelle's children.

12. One word...
...I-N-T-E-R-N-E-T.

How many of us were on the net in 1992? How about 1996? I got my first dialup internet service in 1997. And you?

19. 1995. As I recall we did have cable television in 1994 and do you remember
Monica Lewinsky, Whitewater, and other little things the MEDIA fed on in those days.

If it was an issue, Richard Mellon Scaife and the Arkansas project would have discovered it. Hell they found an obscure stock trade that Hillary made in the 80's!
