Hillary's Campaign Launch Video Hits Republicans Where It Hurts Them Most

[bigtree]

One striking feature of Hillary's launch video is the diversity of people it features ahead of her own appearance in the campaign spot. One thing which seems to disturb republicans the most is a focus on the interests of minorities, women, gay Americans, Hispanic individuals, and others who are pictured in her short video. By putting this variety of Americans first in her campaign appeal, Hillary directly challenges much of the republican's narrow appeal and narrow politics which is geared to their predominantly white, male base of voters; many of who express little interest in the particular needs, rights, or opportunities of those Americans outside their privileged class.

1. Yeah, but they're tops with old white guys who have basements full of guns and a hate-on for teh gay.

It's a base that will keep them in the White House FOREVER!

2. Pukes have diverse people in their ads. They hire them or use stock footage.

3. I think it's a common marketing practice for anything advertised

The video was hollow to me because I thought it was one of the usual youtube ads before she appeared.

5. I am sure then you can provide links to all the GOP ads featuring gay couples

I look forward to those links.

6. There are probably about as many of those as ads with non veterans with physical disabilities

from any American political party.

7. that is a fair comment

I can think of one though, I would bet Palin used her daughter in an ad or two at somepoint. Tom Harkin might have used his brother in 92, though I have no idea.

4. Conservatives think diversity is using assorted

pasty white billionaire males in their campaign ads.

8. that's basically the profile

...of the majority of republican legislators and their money men.
