Old Video Footage Haunts Clinton

Posted by: Matt Lewis at 11:29 AM

Update: Hot Air Reports this:

The director of War Room says this is a fabrication, and that makes sense; even in 1993, this would have made headlines if it came off like this. Take another listen to the audio in the clip that started going around yesterday:

A YouTube video clip of "The War Room" -- a documentary about the 1992 Bill Clinton campaign -- is furiously making the rounds (being pushed, no doubt, by Obama supporters). It features a prominent Clinton operative apparently referring to Indianans in a rather unflattering light.

Now, I've heard of racial slurs, jokes about "Aggies" in Texas, and jokes about West Virginians (I'm from Maryland). But I had no idea that someone could hate Indiana ...

why are you surprised ?
Matt, You shouldn't be all that surprised. After all, we're talking about lefties---they 'love' humanity, but hate people. Barack Obama's recent remark in San Francisco about people in Pennsylvania is merely an extension of what Kantor had said about people in Indiana. Then again, are you aware that a percentage of evangelicals don't like Mormons ? You should read some of their comments in your own threads.

I saw that film
and he is not referring to people from Indiana, he is referring to Republicans. Goes to show that you can't control the things people around you say. But he was running Bill's campaign,not Hillary's and Mickey Kantor is not someone whom Hillary has referred to as "her mentor." Wow, Obamabots are really desperate!

UPDATE
I just read a report online that the film makers are claiming that the video has been doctored. Do you really think they would have left a conversation like that in the film? If so, there would have been outrage long before now. Geesh, how stupid do the Obamabots think we are?
