The clip is cut from the movie The War Room, a documentary of the Clinton-Gore campaign and the machine behind it.
I've reviewed the video about a dozen times and it's clear the "s***" remark is actually "s****ing." He's obviously referring to someone being worried.
I've been working the last year almost exclusively on video editing. Dubbing audio over video is easy and can be done well, though it wasn't here. There are tells if you look close enough.
Watching Kantor's lips during the second and far more egregious comment, it's clear he isn't saying any of those words.
Another sign the audio is fraudulent is that the sound doesn't match the physical spacing. Kantor is standing several feet from the camera, but the offensive comment sounds as if it's whispered directly into the microphone.
The hacks who whipped this thing together did employ a great diversionary technique: The graphic quote. Putting the words up not only works to seed in your mind what they want you to hear, but it also keeps your eyes off Kantor's lips. The first few times I watched it, I just read along and believed my eyes and not my ears. And that is exactly the effect for which they were hoping.
The video has been removed or blocked on YouTube, but it will undergo incredible scrutiny the next few days in the MSM. I'm sure few who have seen it will be swayed to believe it isn't accurate, though. It could have a tremendous impact in Indiana Tuesday.
Guess we'll all know soon enough.
