How out of touch is Hillary? Xerox? When the fuck was the last time you xeroxed something?

[KittyWampus]

Hillary is a fucking Carbon Copy.

[babylonsister]

1. She has the peons copying for her. I wonder if she knows how much

a gallon of milk is?

[berni_mccoy]

2. I'm surprised she didn't say mimeographed.

[billbuckhead]

3. It's Xerox!

[burythehatchet]

9. that way her consituency would have got it as well n/t

[trueblue2007]

4. You can't even spell...... It's spelled Xerox!

Hillary is not a ONE TRICK PONY like Obama. Even his supporter could not list his accomplishments. What are they?

[jackson_dem]

5. He passed two bills in the Senate, one brought "change" by naming a post office

The other was about the Congo.

[karynnj]

22. Just yesterday, Bush signed an Obama/Lugar bill that extends

Nunn/Lugar - and addresses nuclear proliferation. This is a very important National security bill. Obama also got major provisions into the ethic reform bill.

3. The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate,

6. and many more.
In all since he entered the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096. An impressive record, for someone who supposedly has no legislative record.

[KittyWampus]

7. thanks for the spell check!

[sam sarrha]

32. i-spel is better... >>Link>>

[high density]

12. Welcome to two days ago, smarty pants

Jeeze.

[gerrilea]

6. Did you understand her? If yes, her point was made in one word

PERIOD!

[gravity]

11. copy just doesn't have the same ring

[gerrilea]

17. Yep your right!

[goldcanyonaz]

8. You knew what it meant.

[cottonseed]

10. I think the boos said a lot about how it played.

[zulchzulu]

13. At least she didn't say "mimeograph"

What a hag.

[elixir]

41. Careful, your insecurity and self doubt are showing.Using labels to demean others indicates

a lack of self confidence.

[CalGator]

14. she violated copyright!

It should be "photocopied", not "Xeroxed". They will be mad if their copyright is genericized. ;)

Not that I care. It was a dumb remark and obviously lost the crowd.

[EffieBlack]

23. Xerox isn't a copyright - it's a trademark

[CalGator]

24. you're right. doh. -nt

[EffieBlack]

31. :-)

[krkaufman]

46. Really? Xerox would be upset if their brand name became the default for photocopying?

... much like Frisbee & Kleenex. I would think that they'd be thrilled at the prospect, given it would save them millions in advertising.

p.s. FYI... "Xerox" *has* long been commonly used as a synonym for photocopying.

[momster]

58. Just What I Thought

Xerox Corp has spent millions trying to get people to stop turning their copyrighted trademark into a generic word. Senator Clinton just set them a long way back. No campaign contributions from them, I'm thinking....

[lanlady]

Yesterday. At work. I xeroxed a contract.

What does that make me, a fucking mimeographer? I think YOU're the one out of touch.

[Skittles]

18. same here - group lotto tickets

yes INDEED

[zulchzulu]

30. You photo copied....I bet it wasn't a Xerox machine

I loved how mimeographs smelled however...

:hi:

[krkaufman]

47. "xerox" has long been synonymous with photocopying.

just like throwing a plastic disc is called playing frisbee, and facial tissues are commonly referred to as kleenex -- regardless of the actual brands in use.

[sniffa]

15. She meant, carbon copied

[DemGa]

16. Ouch the truth hurts -- it was a great line

And Xerox is generic for copy -- everyone knows that.

[Arkansas Granny]

Yep. Like Kleenex is generic for tissue.

[susanr516]

19. Thanks for reminding me

yet again, that I'm old and useless. Way to "win friends and influence people." Bet you're too young to remember that title.

[sabbat hunter]

20. I xeroxed

something today.


It is like calling a tissue a kleenex or cellophane tape scotch tape. Do you call it anything but scotch tape? is it a 3M product? No? well then it isn't scotch tape.

That is a very minor issue that she called it xeroxing

[Midlodemocrat]

54. .

Exactly. :thumbsup:

Like White-Out. We all call it that, but most of the generics are named liquid paper or crap like that.

[robbedvoter]

21. This morning. Why?

[krabigirl]

25. Um, earlier today, on my fax/copier.

[Sannum]

26. About half an hour ago....

[DemGa]

27. It's a commonly used term -- and people know what it means

Effective -- that's what matters here.

Sorry, Obama is a fucking clone.

[splat]

28. She's gonna tell Texas to PDF it?

[LoZoccolo]

29. Xerox should sue her for diluting their trademark. n/t

[jedr]

33. IMHO;

I can't believe that such an inane comment brought 29 replies ...or is it just me?:crazy:

[GoldieAZ49]

34. lol, back to the 90's with Hillary

[Major Hogwash]

35. At least she didn't mention the Pony Express or using "the wireless".

Grandpa woulda been proud.

[krkaufman]

36. Not sure what the problem is. "Xerox" is pretty-much synonymous with photocopy.

This criticism seems ultra-petty.

[JPZenger]

39. It was in 1978

[krkaufman]

48. hate to tell ya, but it still is common... though not as ubiquitous as it once was.

[krkaufman]

53. p.s. Also, the "xerox" comment likely struck home with her core demo...

... older ladies. If she's looking to shore-up her core, then the comment may have been effective. (Obviously moreso than with the younger crowd.)

[elixir]

37. Today, at least 20 times. Yeah, I'm one of those middle class double income family members

who works in an office...xeroxing, drafting, mailing, answering client calls. Your attitude is blinding your opinions.

[glowing]

38. I usually say copy.. and the last time was just a few minutes ago... thanks,

but the real world still does photo copy things.. xerox is the company brand, and she's lucky to have the mega resources for the good quality.. our company has brother, and it sucks.

[Thrill]

40. It was a stupid comment. And you can tell one of her advisors told her to say it

[crispini]

42. All the time, der?

People still have copiers. :)

[Canuckistanian]

43. I just Xeroxed a letter I typed to Nixon

So I'm a procrastinator, so what?

[SoCalDem]

62. Huh.. inkwell run dry? lost your quill?run out of carbon paper..your Monk quit in a huff?

:rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

63. Actually, I ran out of ochre for my cave painting

:rofl:

[SoCalDem]

67. Use your own blood..you sissy !!!

:rofl:

[bagimin]

44. I would say she got it from Henny Youngman

but it wasn't even funny.

[Tess49]

45. Yesterday. And today. n/t

[WritingIsMyReligion]

49. Or "looked at the Youtube of it."

That was awkward.

[Midlodemocrat]

51. Of all things to pick on her about.

Saran Wrap - cling wrap
Coke - cola flavored beverage
xerox - photocopy
chapstick - lip balm
kleenex - tissues
saltines - salt topped bland crackers.

It's a generic term. It doesn't mean she is out of touch. I say xerox all the time.

C'mon, people this is silly. :eyes:

[BlackVelvet04]

55. People still xerox stuff every day of the week. n/t

[AZBlue]

56. Well, they finally got her to stop talking about mimeographing!

Xeroxing was a step in the right direction.

[SPKrazy]

57. I xerox things nearly every day?

:wtf: this is a stupid assed thread

copiers, xerox is a brand, prolly the first brand to make copiers.

Don't be such a dork

:rofl:

as if this were an issue?

who's going to bring our soldiers home

who's going to come up with an economic plan to save people from losing homes, jobs, etc.

and you are worried about FUCKING XEROX? It doesn't even make sense

hey

your mother may be calling you for dinner, come out of the basement, it's time to eat.

:rofl:

[Breeze54]

59. That's not the point of her using that word.

older American voters (whom are not tech savvy) understand what Xerox means.

If she had said 'copy'... the whole meaning would have been lost.

She's dumb... like a fox.

[yardwork]

60. Another incredibly unimportant nit-picky attack on a Democrat.

Are you sure you people are Democrats? Some of you sound like freepers.

[rodeodance]

61. oh my----how simple can you get-your big issue is a blasted maching.!!

[The Backlash Cometh]

64. I nominate this the most Brittany Spearish thread of the day.

If you're going to attack her, do it on something substantive. This is just the kind of meanness that you're accusing Hillary of exhibiting. Meaner, even.

[cooolandrew]

65. It's a fair point that, I wonder if HRC uses a typewriter.

[Catherine Vincent]

66. Well, look at it this way....

Xerox stock probably went up a bit. :)

[InsultComicDog]

68. I still use that term too

And I 'Xeroxed' some stuff a few hours ago...

[TheZug]

69. I'm xeroxing, talking on my cb radio, and disco dancing!!!

[blue neen]

70. Sorry, with all of the real problems that these candidates need to solve,

this is a non-issue.

This is a little too nit-picky for my tastes. :shrug:

[northzax]

71. really, this picayune comment?

if I ask you for a Kleenex do you say 'sorry, I only have cvs brand tissues?'
