Mickey Kantor Hoosier Slur A Hoax
UPDATE: This story seems to be lame. Busted. Not true, but at least I didn’t delete it like those goofballs at Daily Kos. According to Huffington Post, Kantor did NOT call Hoosiers the N word, but did admit saying someone was “sh*t” but that someone was the Senior George Bush Whitehouse. Don’t disagree there. Our apologies Mr. Kantor, carry on.
Schweet, the political season has officially begun when sneaky crap like this starts making the rounds. Color me fooled.
Glosslip just got this tip from a posting on the Daily Kos revealing some less than savory words from Hillary’s current political advisor, Mickey Kantor about Indiana Hoosiers being “sh*t” and calling them white n*ggers. The video appears to be from the Clinton/Gore campaign circuit.
Sweet, maybe it’s ok to call white people names, but only if you are running for President. Looks like another advisor’s going to bite the dust. Watch what you say people in politics, it has a way of coming back to haunt you.

Why would you print something like this? Where are the sources? Is this even true?

This is a little confusing to find the truth about this, but listen to the clip that the director cites. He says “sh!tt!ng”, not “sh!t”, but the “worthless” part seems true. Listen to the original audio and decide for yourself

He clearly says “How would you like to be” and the questionable “worthless” part is whispered. Why did he WHISPER? We know when people whisper it’s because they dont’ want to be heard.

I am an Obama supporter, but this should not be circulating if it is not proven to be authentic. Let’s be better than that.

It doesn’t matter who you support - news is news
The video is now pulled OF COURSE, and therefore we can’t verify the information. I listened to the audio listed above and all I can say is it could be anything. I am sure someone who can read lips can tell what Mickey is saying.
It’s no shock that elitist politician types think upper midwest white people are less than “stellar.” Honestly, not sure why anyone is surprised that they talk like this behind closed doors.

I’m sure this was merely a “coincidence” what with the Indiana and North Carolina primaries a few days away. Not. Someone is getting desperate.
