Clinton campaign's new "Wolves" ad -the politics of fear

[psychopomp]

We knew this would be coming from the Clinton campaign. If nothing else seems to work, just try to scare the pants off of people.

We see the same scare tactics in Sen. Clinton's new ad as we saw in the 2004 bush "Wolves" ad and, before that, with the Reagan scare tactics of 1984.

Compare for yourself:

1. Even Bill says vote for the candidate that gives you hope not fear

2. MUST SEE VID: On the geneology of Fear Attacks

It really nails the message: A bit over the top in places - The Bin Laden stuff and Bill's famous line did NOT belong there. Still, over all, brilliant.

All the big ones : Daisy, Wolves, McCain, Hill & Bill (edited) 9/11 bonus:Rudy.

4. if you didn't know

the bin laden stuff are from TV ads. The last part is from a Guiliani ad.

14. It's 3AM out here and that was tough to watch

Just in case there are people with weak hearts out there, a warning: that "gotcha" screaming zombie makes an appearance at around 3:15 in the video. :scared:

5. ROTFLMAO

"Hillary Clinton: she would (probably) not punch a baby in the face"

10. ^ SPOILER ALERT ^

but yeah, I liked that send-up, too, especially the mocking of the hackneyed voice used in the original.

7. So Hillary wants to be Reagan now? I thought she wanted to be Eleanor Roosevelt.

Man, she better hold a seance pretty quick and decide who she wants to channel next.

9. Wrong on both counts

She just wants to be President. HIllary's the girl in the class who sat in the front of the room, answered all the teacher's questions, got a 99 on the test and then complains that it's not fair that because she didn't get 100 and no one likes her.

12. If she starts talking to the pictures hanging on the walls like Nixon did, then it's all over.

"So, George Washington, what would you do?"

8. Bravo to that clip. God bless you Bill for your support. =)

13. The only wolves I worry about are the lobbyists that own Hillary.
