Malicious YouTube Hoaksters Exposed http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/05/04/bingo-youtube-hoaksters-exposed/ http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/05/04/bingo-youtube-hoaksters-exposed/#comments Mon, 05 May 2008 03:31:58 +0000 SluggoJD http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/05/04/bingo-youtube-hoaksters-exposed/ The Internet was ablaze with You Tube videos early Friday (5/1/08) showing footage from The War Room, Part 9, a documentary about Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign, that supposedly depicted Clinton aide Mickey Kantor referring to folks in Indiana as “shit.” More outrageous versions were spawned later that also claimed that Kantor called people “white nig**rs.”

None of it was true. By late Friday, it had been completely debunked, and Mickey Kantor vowed to take legal action against the culprits. (For background, check out D. Cupples’ earlier story here.)

Based on my research, I recommend that Kantor’s legal team immediately contact Jamal Brown of Venice, CA (Brown owns a small business that specializes in videos); Dietrich Cusseaux of Spring, TX; JedReport.com out of Las Vegas; Markos Moulitsas, owner of Daily Kos; and the Barack Obama campaign.

CRITICAL SIDE NOTE: Six hours ago, Jamal Brown posted another YouTube video: “Hillary Clinton is trying to get Barack Obama killed!.” (WE PLAN to address this abhorrent video in a separate story.)

The original hoax video was posted around 3PM on Thursday by BingoFrogger at You Tube, who created that You Tube account that day. Shortly afterwards, the video was spread to Daily Kos under a new screenname, Slow Poke. (more…)

Yesterday, a YouTube video spread throughout the blogosphere and media like mildew in a lazy bachelor’s shower stall.  The clip’s audio is terribly unclear, but the editor inserted subtitles to give the false impression that Mickey Kantor, a former Bill Clinton campaign staffer and Clinton Administration official, had said unkind things about the people of Indiana back in 1992 (while Kantor was being filmed for the documentary The War Room).

What interesting timing: Hillary Clinton happens to be facing Indiana’s primary election in four days, and Kantor is connected to her campaign.
