This has already been exposed as a fake.
The movie was heavily doctored.

Imagine the hysteria if a top Obama aide had said something like this -- in front of two such media celeberties as well. Wait a second, I don't have to, we've already done that. It is hard, a so few words, to insult virturally every person in an entire State, so you have to give Mickey credit for economy of expression. Perhaps Rendell's praise of Farakhan somehow off sets this?

Hmmm, we cannot judge Obama by his friends and associates, you you act as though these words came from her own mouth. Stop being such hypocrites.

They aren't hypocrites, they're trolls. The previous threads on this topic have been scrubbed, and this one will be too. Double-click on jdw's link and you'll see what I mean.

Hope you have a lawyer. He is suing for libel.

feel free to substitute in 'n****r' for future post headlines...

Perhaps not quite that free... dropping n-bombs ain't cool, any way you "sp*ll" it. Some of us might come down you like a ton of bricks if you get too casual. Sparing usage where absolutely germane and necessary to make your point.

Can you dig it? I knew that you could.

I find your title objectionable and the fact that after listening to the tape there is no way anyone can say definitely that word was used. The three were talking about polling numbers not people.
Do we all give a big thanks to the Obama supporter who emailed it around to all the political media writers this morning for showing once again that the dirty tricks are coming from the "other side" and not the one who gets blamed for everything no matter what.
So does the Obama campaign still decry it is not the one of "past politics" after this stunt? Trying to degrade people who are going to the polls in a few days and perhaps more to vote for the other candidate really shows the level of the game lately...and I guess the "ni**er" was thrown in to make sure the black voters of NC get a little more incensed to go out and vote for Obama.
Now what about that mantra of hope and change? Looks more and more like the Bush promises of change after all!

On behalf of the Obama campaign, let me say that I decry slimy, dishonest political attacks.

There, does that help?

Actually what I found most offensive is the high five that Kantor tries to give Stephenopolous. What the hell is that? Who gives a high five with a fist?

Obama is not the one putting forth this doctored video. And I'm an Obama supporter who has been careful NOT to recommend these Kantor stories and to clarify that the audio is doctored -- not about "shit," which could mean either the voters OR Bush, but using the "N" word.

The people who are spreading these links are NOT the typical Obama supporter. If they were, there would be more than 12 comments in this list overreacting to this nontroversy.
