For those who missed it the first time around, SlapHillary is an interactive, online game enabling users to slap an animated image of Hillary, from the left or right, by pushing a button. It's good, clean fun for the whole family -- and educational too! Young folks will get a first-hand lesson in civics, by taking part in America's grand tradition of political satire.
Why SlapHillary? Why Now?
Now seems the perfect time to revive SlapHillary. We at SlapHillary.org believe Hillary will do everything in her power to steal the spotlight from poor Barack Obama at the Democratic Convention in Denver (August 25-28, 2008). In this unique election year, Democrats and Republicans alike can enjoy slapping Hillary!
And don't forget to check out some of our other animation classics, also restored from the old SlapHillary.com Web site. Popular games include Slap Bill, Slap Osama, and slap the Three Media Stooges.
SlapHillary: The Early Years
Marie Poe created and launched the humorous Web site SlapHillary.com on September 25, 2000. Released under the auspices of David Horowitz''s Center for the Study of Popular Culture (since renamed the David Horowitz Freedom Center), SlapHillary became an overnight sensation on the Internet, reaching its peak when anchorman Brit Hume of Fox News visited the site to administer an on-air slap to Hillary on national television on September 27, 2000.
The Economist named SlapHillary.com the number one Web site of the U.S. election season, in its October 7, 2000 issue.
Rumor has it that Hillary herself may have been forced to take note. She was then running against Rick Lazio for a Senate seat from New York. "The buzz among political Web surfers - and even those in Clinton headquarters - is a new Internet site, SlapHillary.com...," reported The New York Post on September 29.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we lost the SlapHillary.com domain name, which expired on May 22, 2005. SlapHillary lives on, though, at its new home: SlapHillary.org.
For seven years, SlapHillary was offline and unavailable (aside from a few pirate versions which popped up here and there, vanishing as quickly and mysteriously as they appeared).
We want to make sure that SlapHillary never again goes offline. Visit SlapHillary.org now.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF of my Hillary ping list.
Ooh, you can Slap Bill too. He has more features. Give him a cigar. hehehehehe
tooo funny... all of them.
I don’t like Hillary, but a web site where you slap her is in bad taste. Besides, her base is women who support her because she is a woman, and their perception that she is not respected partly explains their loyalty to her. Are you a Hillary supporter?
Thanks for the ping Richard. I recall going to that site way back. There used to be a really ‘bad’ one with Cynthia McKinny on it, lol. Looks like they took her face off of it.
“We at SlapHillary.org believe Hillary will do everything in her power to steal the spotlight from poor Barack Obama at the Democratic Convention in Denver”
I’d prefer to continue slapping Obama and his radical racist buddies around.
As for Hillary... she may do more than ‘steal the spotlight’... she may ‘steal’ the election!
It ain’t over til it’s over.
STE=Q
too funny.

Can't wait until the Obama version comes out.
Thanks. I remember this one from the old days.
“Can’t wait until the Obama version comes out.”
Don’t hold your breath.
Didn’t you get the memo?
Making fun of the ‘messiah’ is forbidden.
STE=Q
PS: I like the ‘three media stooges’ the best.
Good fun!
