WASHINGTON POST, MTV NEWS CITE MY ANTI-HILLARY VIDEO
'VOTE SMART: A WARNING TO ALL WOMEN ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON' TOPS 260,000 YouTube VIEWS

... By Thursday (March 22), a large (and growing) number of copycat ads had appeared on the Internet that either reworked de Vellis' clip or took the concept into new, even more bizarre directions.

Among them was one titled "Vote Smart: A Warning to All Women About Hillary Clinton," which takes de Vellis' original and interjects shots of a skinny model sashaying down a runway with doctored, "Clockwork Orange"-like images of Clinton with her eyes propped open. Playing over those images is the audiobook version of Mrs. Clinton's White House memoir, "Living History," in which she recounts her anger when confronting her husband, former President Bill Clinton, over his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky. The clip then devolves into a harsh attack on the Clintons, including an image of Hillary Clinton as the Statue of Liberty with the scrawled epitaph "Stalinist Rising?" underneath.

Anti-Clinton Video Shows Ease of Attack In the Computer Age
EXCERPT

The instant popularity of an attack video that mocked Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) prompted plenty of talk this week about how an ordinary citizen can influence political discourse by tapping into the power of the YouTube culture.

But the unmasking of the filmmaker as an employee of a company on the payroll of Clinton's Democratic presidential rival, Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.), raises questions about whether the more old-fashioned art of political chicanery was at play....

"The specific point of the ad was that Obama represents a new kind of politics, and that Senator Clinton's 'conversation' is disingenuous," de Vellis wrote. "And the underlying point was that the old political machine no longer holds all the power." De Vellis did not respond to an e-mail request for comment yesterday....

The spot has also spawned imitators, such as a five-minute mash-up video titled "Vote Smart: a warning to all women about Hillary Clinton," which has been viewed more than 230,000 times.

"The power of the harasser, the abuser, the rapist depends above all on the silence of women." ¹

We must make sure that never happens. If we band together, it never will. If anything, this mashup dustup shows the strength of the net, the strength of the people, the strength of the individual citizen.

To the so-called intelligentsia, we're all 'ordinary.'


The clintons' fundamental error: They are too arrogant and dim-witted to understand that the demagogic process in this fiberoptic age isn't about counting spun heads; it's about not discounting circumambient brains.

[Mia T]

Excellent suggestions.

And thank you. :)

[Mia T]

thanks :)

The rape of Broaddrick by bill clinton and later threats 2 weeks after the rape by hillary clinton seem untouchable, don't they? These things MUST be revisited.

I mean, has America gone MAD?

The clintons are not fit to be our babysitters.

So why in the world would we make them president?

[Mia T]

thank you :)
