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 Mia T, 3.23.07 

... 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.

 A Brave New World of Political Skulduggery?
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

Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?

All right, all right, I'll quit.

Hey Hillary:

"Put some ice on it" !!

I was watching a large High Definition flatscreen. On it was a HD Bruins hockey game. Those guys got real bad white guy skin.

So, Hugh Hewitt said this to Mark Styen, " Oh, it is such a Madame Defarge moment, and I for the first time began to suspect that maybe she can’t win the nomination because she’s just so awful on television. Have you entertained that idea yet, Mark Steyn?"

Hilary on High Def? There should be a warning label.

Mia-the video is really good, but it would be fabuous if you pared it down a bit... there's too many scenes that loop back and forth over and over again, if it was a little more condensed, it would be fabulous... JMHO

[Mia T]

Excellent point....

But consider the counterexample: The clinton machine hid hillary from public view pre-HD.

Low resolution is perfectly sufficient to capture such ugliness.

Yes, he was here -- but my sainted wife and I spent our time at a quiet little beach very close by our home....a place uncrowded by tourists or "human trash"....enjoying the beautiful Spring weather and fresh seafood. Next time you're in Kalifornicate, let me know and we'll take you there ---- but you have to promise to keep the "local's" secret..

I don't follow Rudy's actions or positions.....
He's too hard to follow -- has more positions than the Kama Sutra.

So far, there is no dog in the race that strikes me as Presidential timber.. voting for Rudy would have to be a "lesser of evils" situation for me......

I'm still waiting for a candidate whose platform is simple:
Become energy self sufficient -- defunding the Sand Nazis. Defeat militant Islamists. Drive their Jihadists back within their Turd World borders to kill each other if they please and to root out and SEVERELY punish our own "enemies within"..

We've GOT to handle the mess we've allowed to metastasize within our country - before we can present a united front to our enemies throughout the world..

You are one of my heros here on FR, Mia.

I agree. YouTube doesn't provide for re-edits. It was a rush-job. I put it together and uploaded it to YouTube in a couple of hours. Would love to be able to tweak it.

Believe it or not, that's the edited down version. It was originally twice as long.
It's really tough editing such fact-dense stuff. A lot of crucial evidence was left on the cutting room floor.

If I could redo, I would cut back on the repetition and add back in some of the crucial stuff... and I would fix the frames/sec error, which is causing the audio to be out of sync. And a few other things.... ;)

[Mia T]

wow. thank you, Pistolshot. :)

[philman_36]

The fish lyrics and a "bug-eyed Pelosi" pic would've been pushing it way too far. {;^)

[Mia T]

Seems to me voting will always be a "lesser of evils" situation unless and until we start fielding citizen politicians, people of the highest caliber who will serve for a term or two and then return to their day jobs.

The professional pol is a self selected subgroup of Homo sapiens that is mediocre, power-hungry and corrupt or corruptible by defintion. The clintons represent the noxious end-point.

As for the beach, not wanting to give away your secret, does it start with an 'S'???

[Osage Orange]

2nd that!!

[river rat]

"S"?......No. Not even close.

[Mia T]

geographically or alphabetically? ;)

[Mia T]

thanx. :)
