Be On the Lookout for Swiftboating on this issue "We ARE/AREN'T going to raise taxes"

[piechartking]

Right-wingers have been making a, not a big deal, deal out of this video. I think she is saying "We aren't going to raise taxes on the middle class" but they are taking advantage of the fact that the enunciation is not clear-cut.

Trump/Pence have already cut an ad on this. Whatever, probably going to turn out to be nothing, but please let's not let this one get into Swiftboating territory or fucking Dukakis ride-along in the , tank shall we?

1. This is watcha call bad luck-- or good luck if you're on the other side...

From now on, I betcha Hillary will fully enunciate "are not.." but we'll see how we can undo the damage.

For one thing, unless you're a diehard Hillary hater, you probably can't imagine her actually saying she'll raise taxes, so you'll assume there's something wrong there.

9. It is bullshit and edited.

This is all they got...

2. Sounds edited to me.

There's a hiccup like a break in the audio after "are."

3. Here is a better video

Listen at the 30:00 minute mark.

4. Well, I think they need to get ahead of this.

The problem with the Swiftboat crap was that they didn't think it was a big deal, and it mushroomed. Team Clinton should nip this in the bud now, because Trump has already made an ad with this clip.

At least a quick 15-sec rebuttal ad that you keep pushing.

Thank god you can at least hope that Trump does something even more awful to keep himself at the top of the news.

5. Agree. I have not seen anything or statement yet from Hillary camp

7. She should put out a "they can't stop themselves from lying" ad.

String of lies including this one.

8. With the stress off the word "aren't," I can understand people falling for...

...an out-of-context soundbite carefully packaged to tell them it was "are."

It's a lie, but like so many others aimed at Clinton, it coattails on the mythology.

10. Katy Tur just called the ad false
