Hillary on the Bright Side of the Big Brother Video
Hillary Clinton says she may quibble with being depicted as Big Brother -- and IBM, for that matter -- but that it's a good thing as long as it gets people interested in politics.
From an interview with NY1 about that pro-Barack Obama video that has spread like a super-virus around the internet:.
Q: What do you think of the video?-- Jason Horowitz"I haven't seen it but I'm pleased that it seems to be taking attention away from what used to be on YouTube and getting a lot of hits, namely me singing "The Star Spangled Banner." Everybody in the world now knows I can't carry a tune. I thank heavens for small favors and the attention has shifted and now maybe people won't have to tune in and hear me screeching about "The Star Spangled Banner."
Q: Should the video be removed?
"You know, that's for somebody else to decide. I don't have an opinion one way of another. I think anything that drives interest in these campaigns and gets people who otherwise are not at all interested in politics, I think that's pretty good. I might quibble a little bit about the content but if we get more people, especially young people, thinking about politics, I'm happy about that."
Very good answer
Come on Hils--expected more of a Clintonian "fist in the mouth" response to the Big Brother, (or should that be sister?)video. How about a "Don't Dis Your Sis" apology demand from Senator Obama?
ParkRidge47 wrote back, saying that the "Hillary 1984" ad, which urged Americans to "Vote Different," was inspired by Hollywood movie mogul David Geffen's public critique of Clinton � and "Clinton's campaign bullying of donors and political operatives" in the wake of it, according to Sifrey's Web posting.
In the response to Sifrey, ParkRidge47 (www.techpresident.com/node/130) said that the idea for the ad "was simple and so was the execution. Make a bold statement about the Democratic primary race by culture jacking a famous commercial and replacing as few images as possible. For some people it doesn't register, but for people familiar with the ad and the race it has obviously struck a chord."
I support Hillary 100% and I don't think the ad is that bad... made me laugh. The only way it could have been bad is if she responded poorly when asked about it. As it looks, she responded perfectly.
When all is said and done, not a negative to Hillary and not a positive for Obama. Next.
I love the novel "1984" - And if Mrs. Clinton is being depicted as "Big Brother"...Amazing! I think the ad doesnt really hurt her campaign much less Obama. Besides, Mrs. Clinton actually looks wonderful on the screens! Nonetheless - This video attack will only effect low minded individuals...lol....
Hillary is a fat bitch and she needs to go swallow a knife or something. I got two words for ya hillary, SPINACH SALAD
