WASHINGTON POST, MTV NEWS CITE MY ANTI-HILLARY VIDEO
... 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?
By Howard Kurtz and Jose Antonio Vargas
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.

Good work and congrats! BUMP
Thanks.
One of the more exciting things here for all of us:
1- the demonstration in real time of the exponential power of the internet.
2- being a part of a new democratization of the electoral process.
Old machine politics-- the clintons represent its corrupt and vulgar end-point--is dying... if not already dead.
fyi, ALL
;)
thx :)
thanx :)
thank you. :)
thx :)
thx doug :)
Oh, btw, did you notice that you're in the vid?
There are several brief flashes of text describing your conversation with Sean Hannity about hillary's attempt, (which was contemporaneous with the rape, not years later!), to squelch the story.
Several lefties accused me of attempting subliminal persuasion.
Thank you, Miss Marple. :)
I did notice. It is hard to read the content because it flashes so quickly.
thank you. :)
thx :)
I do however strongly suggest having some good legal support handy.
A few years back my wife and I sued a realtor for stealing my wife's jewelry at our open house, and went on the Judge Joe Brown TV show and won by a slam dunk. Despite an overwhelming victory, and signed forms from the realtor lady (saying she would accept the decision on the show and do nothing further) we were sued for $2 million (libel and slander). While we eventually won, it still cost us $60K in legal fees.
Hillary's legal team is likely a bit stronger than my realtor's idiot lawyer was, so I do hope you're prepared for a fight.

thx. :)
Juanita Broaddrick accused bill clinton of rape (on NBC dateline), and accused hillary clinton of threatening her to keep her mouth shut 2 weeks after the rape (on Hannity and Colmes).
The clintons never sued Juanita. Heck, they never even DENIED the charges. (The non-denial denial from David Kendall doesn't count)
So why is that? Anyone falsely accused of rape and of aiding and abetting a rapist would vigorously deny it. The clintons haven't done so because they are guilty and because they would be de facto vitiating the statute of limitations.
