I just spoke to D.A. Pennebaker, the director of "The War Room," who said his film had been doctored to produce a widely-viewed YouTube clip.
In a clip from his film on the 1992 Clinton campaign, posted to YouTube today, Clinton advisor Mickey Kantor is -- according to subtitles -- seen referring to Indianans with an expletive and to his colleague George Stephanopolous with a racial slur.
"He does not say that. He does not say that," said Pennebaker, after viewing the clip.
He said the initial expletive referred to the anticipated reaction in the Bush White House to the fact that Ross Perot's polling numbers were holding strong.
"What he says is hes surprised Perots numbers are holding," said Pennebaker in a brief phone interview. "He says they must be shi**ing in the White House."

Try it with earphones and the sound on the you tube and your computer turned to the max. It is clear as a bell.
I’ve got a hearing loss and have learned to read lips pretty well. What I can’t understand is why freepers are carrying water for this disgusting little toad.
And I’ve got some sign language right here for Kantor—both hands—that he shouldn’t have any trouble understanding.
I have already listened to both clips numerous times.
I have already posted all I’m going to post.
This is going nowhere.
It’s clearly phoney, imo.
marking for later.
“I have already posted all Im going to post.”
Good. We heard you the third time.
Well, we agree that Kantor is a disgusting little toad. :-)
He clearly calls the people of the great state of Indiana “Sh**.” What he says afterwards is anyone’s guess.
That part was perfectly clear.
And that's all the doctoring that took place, as far as I can tell.
To my knowledge there is no software readily available that could convincingly "doctor" Kantor into appearing to drop the "n" bomb. They would have had to use an actor, and a damn good one, and a first-rate film editor to so doctor this clip. It would cost thousands of dollars to do professionally and you'd have to be very confident that neither the actor nor the editor would ever talk.
Kantor said it, and he got caught saying it. Pennebaker's just in the tank for Clinton.
