SOUTH BEND — The Hillary Clinton campaign is dealing with a quickly exploding controversy. WSBT News has received dozens of emails about a YouTube video that shows a high level Clinton campaign advisor allegedly making degrading remarks about people from Indiana.

He then appears to make comments about Hoosiers at large. Kantor is currently a senior advisor to Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign. The video is a clip from the movie "The War Room," which is a behind the scenes look at the 1992 Bill Clinton campaign. Hillary Clinton's Indiana spokesman Jonathon Swain says what wasn't clear from this small video clip, but is clear from a fuller context, is that Kantor was referring to the pollsters who took an Indiana poll, not the people of Indiana. "It is a despicable attempt to misrepresent and make accusations that are unfounded and untrue," Swain told WSBT Radio. "It is clear that this video has been edited and doctored to mislead and misrepresent what was going on at that moment. I think most viewers of the video can see that." In the second statement in the clip, subtitles suggest Kantor used a racial epithet, but the audio and video, even enhanced, are completely unclear. "This is a clip that was taken from a movie that was in theatres 15 years ago. It’s been on DVD and video since then," Swain told the South Bend Tribune. "The fact that suddenly, 15 years later, someone would discover this as much as this video has been viewed? It’s clear that it’s been doctored and dubbed over, and that it’s been done so intentionally to mislead some folks." You be the judge!

Umm... this youtube was exposed for being doctored by overzealous Obama supporters. It's all over the net. You'll probably catch up to the news in a day or two... But so much for Obama's supporters being 'above the fray'. Change? Hilarious. Typical mudslinging like all the rest... Mods, lock it up, or leave it as a shining beacon of rocket3forlife2's eagerness to post fraudulent lies about the opponent...
Irony! It's true enough though about the clip rocket3forlife2. From all indications it was a doctored vid.
How as the video fixed? Because the director who is a Hillary Clinton supporter said it was? Where is the real video link then and why didn't they put it up. I don't believe the last part, but he clearly said Indiana people are sh%t.

yeah, like the picture of Obama not having his hand over his heart for the pledge - that was a doctored photo. Although I do recall someone on this BBS with a name similar to Trader Joe's that used that lie to attack Obama as unpatriotic.
Seriously, you just digging deeper and losing cred here. Do a google search and catch up to the rest of us. These are cheap, transparent tricks by the Obama crowd... sad, really... no cred
i think bush mustve said that.... lol and cmon.......since when is youtube or wikipedia a credible, reliable way to make a political decision?
