There we go, a non-Kos link so it can be greenlighted.

*passes around popcorn*

Well. To put it in context....errrr...

They're taking it back?

Yikes!

And I don't even know what a 'worthless white n*gger' is?

WOW.

I wonder if this means that the Obama camp is beginning to finally fight back..

I don't even need to watch the video for this one.

Hillary is a moron, her advisers are morons, and she needs to quit. Like yesterday.

I fear for this country if she wins the Democrats' nomination. No matter who wins the election.

redqueenmeg: *passes around popcorn*

Mmm, thanks

This from the campaign staff of the "first black president." Nice.

Obama is a racist for not condemning these comments five minutes before they happened. He's also an elitist for not drinking enough television beers.

Let see how the MSM treats this:

1) Obama's old pastor says some bad things (some quoted out of context): Cover the story for 3 weeks.

2) Clinton former campaign chief and current advisor (Mickey Kantor), current supporter/advisor (Carville), and former press secretary/advisor (Stephanapoulos) (who also moderated last week's debate on ABC and is interviewing Clinton on Sunday) joke about how people from Indiana are "worthless white attractive and successful African-Americans" who "are shiat": I'd bet they cover it for about 4 hours...

Cagey B: Obama is a racist for not condemning these comments five minutes before they happened. He's also an elitist for not drinking enough television beers.

...and the new one is that he is immature for ordering orange juice and not coffee (new window)

Too bad it's going to the Politics tab, this would make for an awesome Main Page Trainwreck Friday^TM thread

I can't believe people give a shiat about something said 15 years ago. Get over it.

So she gets to denounce and reject someone who was the WTO and NAFTA's #1 cheerleader. That's good, right? Right?

To be fair, it didn't really look like Carville or Stephanapoulos cared too much for the comment. They seemed to ignore it more than anything else.

I must be missing the worthless whit blank part, but what REALLY enraged me was Carville saying he "didn't want no dang-ole BUSCH beer, give me a BUDWEISER." HEY JAMES WHO DO YOU THINK MAKES BUDWEISER??? Repulsive.

So what, these guys TOTALLY must have changed, because if Hillary says they're okay, they MUST be angelic? WTF ever.

Hillary Clinton? Is that you?

eddyatwork: I can't believe people give a shiat about something said 15 years ago. Get over it.

So because they thought that 15 years ago, they obviously don't still think that today, right?

Get your hearing checked. And go check out Drudge or Kos if you need it spelled out for you.

I know, Jesus, the guy's been preaching his whole life, and a two sound bites are supposed to explain his whole philosophy?

Ohhh...you weren't talkign about that.

Why is everybody so upset? It's not like he called them bitter or something....

Shouldn't that have been "worthless wiggers"?

/hope the filter doesn't change it to "Attractive and Successful Caucasian-Americans"

valloned: Get your hearing checked. And go check out Drudge or Kos if you need it spelled out for you.

My hearing is fine. Those words are not in the video clip, and anyone can listen to it. Since when was Drudge or Kos reliable in any way?

valloned: Get your hearing checked.

Guess I'd better get in that line, too. I heard "shiatty".

I doubt it gets much coverage here in Indy - we've got the mini-marathon tomorrow and the IMS open for rookie practice on Sunday. I'm sure that it will make the front page of the Indy Star but the reaction from most of the populace will probably be minimal due to the above circumstances. It couldn't have come out on a more opportune weekend for Hillary (even if it is right before the primary). Sad but true.

valloned: Let see how the MSM treats this:

I tried to get in here before someone said "MSM", but I see I was too late.

She lies. On camera. Repeatedly.
Her husband lies. On camera. Repeatedly.

This stupid clip of an obvious jerk is nothing. It means nothing.

If the good people of Indiana are too dense to see what a train wreck her campaign is then this little clip won't mean shiat.

Wasn't it 12 years ago Hillary was dodging sniper fire being read a poem by a little girl in Bosnia?

Sammy Jenkins: I guess being called "shiatty" is less offensive than being called "shiat", but either way, I don't think either of those words represent the good people of Indiana.

No doubt calling the good people of Indiana "shiatty" is disrespectful and will damage the Clinton campaign by association, but it's a far cry from calling the good people "worthless white n*ggers."

Also, the timing of this couldn't be more suspicious. Friday afternoon in time to make the 5:00 news on the weekend before the Indiana primaries? Please.

You sure you are listening to the right clip? Even without the subtitles it seems pretty clear.

anyway - just rent the war room, turn up the volume on your tv... then we can find out if its really in there.

Not that this whole thing isn't a pretty stupid thing to argue about, but the headline is Clinton campaign in 1992: Indiana people are "worthless white n*ggers". Bonus: George Stephanapoulos looking boyishly good

I heard no one in that clip say "worthless white attractive and successful African-Americans".

Calling the people of Indiana "shiatty" isn't exactly cool, either, of course, but A: It was years ago, and B: Carville and Stephonopoloppolisosis both look pretty embarrassed that the guy said it and moved the conversation forward as quickly as possible.

Having said all that, Hillary still needs to get the fark out of the way so the Dems can unify behind someone who has a chance of winning. Go Obama.

Naggers?

KIA: Also, the timing of this couldn't be more suspicious. Friday afternoon in time to make the 5:00 news on the weekend before the Indiana primaries? Please.

Friday news releases usually mean "we knew about this but held onto it until Friday so we could guarantee weekend coverage."

Chuck Wagon: You sure you are listening to the right clip? Even without the subtitles it seems pretty clear.

I just watched it yet again, and heard it very clearly. "How would you like to be in the White House right now" my ass. Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much.

Wow! It's almost as if they really don't have a lot of respect for the poor masses they so publicly champion for.

Of course, this was 15 years ago, so I'm sure that all that time inside the beltway has since washed away this contempt for the "little people" of "flyover country."

Calmamity: I heard no one in that clip say "worthless white attractive and successful African-Americans".

Dammit.

Chuck Wagon: You sure you are listening to the right clip?

I'm listening to the one linked in the headline. I'll listen to yours, too.

And then I'm getting out of this completely stoopid thread.

I thought that the convention wisdom was that you release news on a Friday to BURY it. People don't watch the news as much over the weekend....

Well, they do nag a lot.

BravadoGT: I thought that the convention wisdom was that you release news on a Friday to BURY it. People don't watch the news as much over the weekend....

I'm not in TV media, so I'm not sure about that.

But yes and no - you release news on Friday to see weekend coverage but you can also release on Friday in the hopes to avoid investigation. I.e., "this news release just came across but it's 4:30 on Friday afternoon. I'll just hastily key it into the system for Sunday publication and call it done" when they should be reading it for scrutiny.

It can go both ways depending on your agenda.
