Hillary's Hagee Moment
This is unbelieveable. After all of the HRC campaign talk about Wright's remarks and the supposed "elitism" in the Obama campaign--a subject that merits its own discussion--we see Hillary's advisors exhibiting nothing but the most naked contempt for the people that they supposedly represent. If there was any "Annie Oakley" mystique to her campaign, this ought to dispel it.
It also says a whole hell of a lot about George Stephonopolous, James Carville, and the general culture of the campaign. Think for yourselves about the level of comfort that you would have to feel with PROFESSIONAL colleagues to use that kind of language--to even utter the n-word in public. Now imagine the level of comfort that a cabinet member and USTR would have to have to use that word without fear of reprisal or even reprimand from his colleagues.
Just bizarre.

Well, this wasn't really in public.

Maybe not, but they had a camera on them. One might think that would give them pause.

I think Indiana is well back in play for Obama with this coming out. HRC better denounce Kantor and dump him fast. I'm a lifelong Hoosier and this isn't--pardon me, this AIN'T--going to go over well with Indiana folk.

Question: was this scene in the actual movie "War Room",or is this "lost footage"?
If it is the former, how is it that this was never public. Kantor became the Secretary of Commerce, after all.

This kind of language plays badly outside the beltway, but here in town it is par for the course.

I read these posts. I ponder these posts. Most times I think these posts are posted by Republicans and not Democrats but then I read the responses and I have come to believe the Democratic party is made up of cannibals.

The whole thing appears to be a hoax. (But based on the kind of campaign she's run, I was ready to believe it.). I can't update posts on the new site, it seems, but it looks like it's literally "unbelieveable".
