Now I have to watch it.
I now may watch the interview. Hadn't plnned to before hearing of the ad.
I'll be waiting to hear about it here.
I can't wait to hear from Bill Press on this. I'm sure he will just love it.
I don't know. I don't have QT on this machine.
LOL
Well intentioned, but will likely backfire. If you are going to go down that path, you should have at least clearly stated your accusation that the Clinton Admin neglected and weakened our intelligence/defense agencies, promoted based on politics rather than competence, etc. Otherwise it just looks like an overly emotional MoveOn-style cheap shot, no different than claiming that 3000 died on Bush's watch, so it must be Bush's fault. It is about how the audience will perceive it, not your intent. So now the Clinton's will be able to say, "See, all the accusations are just mean cheap shots by the vast right wing conspiracy, look at how they hate me."
True, but the bonehead who is, is trying to pin the terrorist problem on W. Lurch is also preaching that Slick Willie's foreign policy was excellent--you know the one where we give our enemies food, oil and jobs.
Are you sure, there's the Hildabeast lingering out there.
He's trying to rewrite history unchallenged. I for one am glad there's little reminders around to offset what we're about to be burried in.IMHO
he is right we do hate him
And, the story says "The Citizens United ad, which was to debut during the interview,......" Was? I'm in the NY market and I somehow doubt I'll see this ad.
dont forget nuclear technology
Yes, and one of their latest talking points to helping invigorate Clinton's positive image is that "those mean, evil Republicans distracted President Clinton from fighting the war on Terror by needlessly impeaching him"...
But, unfortunately, we didn't "distract" Clinton until 1997-1998 - the first World Trade Center Bombings and the embassy bombings and the Kobar towers ALL happened BEFORE then!
I noticed that "was". But the title indicates it is going to air. I didn't see anythng else on the website, but I didn't search very hard. It certainly seems unusual that CBS would allow it air during "60 Minutes". I guess I'll have to overcome my evisceral distaste for that man and his words and watch it to find out.
