A sure sign of desperation -- Hillary unleashes a new "fear factor" ad.

“It's 3am and your children are safe and asleep. But there's a phone in the White House and it's ringing. Something's happening in the world. Your vote will decide who answers that call. Whether it's someone who already knows the world's leaders…knows the military…someone tested and ready to lead in a dangerous world. It's 3am and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?”

How did the video end up on my response?

[madrchsod]

35. dumb as a box of rocks.....

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

58. She wears her clothes to bed?

That's prepared! I'm switching my registration to republican right now, I mean...what?....she's a democrat?....you must be joking...with an ad like that....? oh.

[The Anti-Bush]

53. ...It Official... Hillary Clinton Officially Switches Party Affiliation to Neo-Con!

[babylonsister]

1. I won't watch it and I can't believe it. It worked for dimson... nt

[Blue State Bandit]

33. New Clinton Environmental Policy:

Recycle old SNL skits as Campaign commercials!

Dana Carvey's George H. W. Bush in 1992 "Who do you want answering the phone at 3am?"

Looking for clip.

[Yael]

61. SNL is in charge of her message strategy now

Or so she keeps telling the media...

[Avalux]

2. Fuck Hillary.

That's about all I can say right now after watching that trash. :mad:

[BigDaddy44]

4. I don't see the problem

Its a good ad. Designed to draw attention to Hillary's perceived strength. I don't think its a negative or attack ad in any way.

[dkf]

7. Yeah, what she sees as her strength. Sadly for her, I don't see it that way.

[Avalux]

13. Riiiiight.....

it's designed to make people afraid to vote for Obama. But you know that. :silly:

[ashling]

21. It's blatant fear mongering

WMDs and a smoking gun in the form of a mushroom cloud.

[babylonsister]

34. Bingo. She's taking a page out of the rethug playbook; very unbecoming. nt

[Hepburn]

44. You have to be kidding....

...right????

[The Anti-Bush]

54. Are you out of your mind?

Wow, absolutely amazing.

So, it's okay for her to do it, so, then, you are saying it's okay for Bush to use fear too then?

[IowaGirl]

62. I'm with you......

I think she would be good on the phone because I do think she thinks things out carefully. I don't think she ever sleeps because she's too busy trying to get the people's work done. The commercial is more serious than the singing, chanting songs by Obama. Let's all sing up an end to America's problems.

[TwilightGardener]

3. She's ridiculous. What current world leaders

has she met? Is she a military strategist, that I'm unaware of? That's why we have a SecDef.

[hobbit709]

5. Smells of desperation to me.

[Buzz Clik]

6. Gee. McCain and Hillary would love to have that conversation.

"Are you afraid? Did George Bush convince you to be afraid of men with funny clothes and beards? Yes, be afraid. And only (Hillary/McCain) can protect you."

I've had quite enough of this shit for the past 7 years. I don't want another 4.

[O.M.B.inOhio]

8. Almost expected "Re-elect George W. Bush."

[nvme]

9. I didn't know she had Karl Rove workin for her.

Bit late to follow the Right wing's suggestion by playin the fear card. Well Hillary will answer it and hand it over to Obama.

[soleft]

10. Okay, but it would be better with wolves

[shadowknows69]

26. Or a bear

[Botany]

11. Dumbest spot ever

1) The President does not answer the phone @ 3 AM .... his/her
staff does that.

2) Last picture shows Hillary in suit and necklace? So is she up
and dressed @ 3:00 AM

3) This is republican spot from 2004 ..... selling pure fear.

Hillary is going to lose by double didgits.

[TwilightGardener]

15. Bill Kristol told the Hillary campaign to play the fear card. Hillary listens when neocons talk.

[mmonk]

20. Yep.

She followed that neoconservative's lead and suggestion. Speaks loudly enough for me in knowing I've made the right choice for me.

[frylock]

56. she was workin the night shift

[ChairmanAgnostic]

12. she spent good money on THIS?

lame, ineffective, truly a waste of money.

I bet Penn penned it.

[thereismore]

14. OMG does she herself believe this shit? If she does, I want Barack to take that call. nt

[thereismore]

16. What's Hillary like when her phone rings at 3AM? Bill, take the damn phone! nt

[Botany]

18. I want Barack to be asleep and a staff person to take the call ....

... and then wake Barack if it is needed.

Hillary was up by 40 points, had 150 million in the bank, and huge organization
and she has been getting her ass kicked from day one now why would I trust
her judgement in a critical time? She is too stupid not to nix this add what would
she do in an emergency?

[global1]

17. It Would Really Be Funny If At The End Of This Commericial There's A ......

shot of the White House at night



and the sound of a phone ringing



and G.W.Bush answering it and saying something stupid


like: "Sorry - you must have the wrong number".
This would be a good SNL bit.

[tyne]

19. I can't wait

to see Obama's rebuttal ad. This gal doesn't learn.

[jefferson_dem]

22. They just re-released the ad with retired General McPeak vouching for Obama.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag8gOXZulXg

[speedoo]

24. Smack!

"The old Washington hands have let us down."

You got that right, General.

[LSK]

41. or W says "Pakistan? What state is that in?"

[ForeignSpectator]

49. Is that bush pic real?! IF it's fake, it's very well made...

and, yeah, that'd be really funny!

[Blue State Bandit]

23. This is from DANA CARVEY'S GHWB skit in '92

Who do you want answering the phone at 3am?




edit date.

[riverwalker]

25. Ad is so ignorant it's insulting

I suppose it is an attempt to regain "the womens vote" by once again using our children.
Then again, she used our children for political gain in her IWR vote too, by sending them to war to die and to kill Iraqi children. I am beginning to think that our children are just a tool for Hillary to be used when convenient.
Maybe she needs to establish an Iraqi Children's Defense Fund.

[galadrium]

27. I don't want someone answering the phone who is easily bullshitted into wars

[SIMPLYB1980]

28. Great add thanks for the link.

[Kittycat]

29. Is she running for Republican Nomination now?

Because she clearly isn't going to win the Dem nomination with this bullshit.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

30. The best thing about this ad

is that McCain can just stick his name on the end and use it himself. After all, he has more experience, more military knowledge, he's more "tested and ready"...

How exactly is Hillary planning on winning the election again? Obama is a better Democrat than she is, and McCain is a better Republican.

[Deep13]

31. About goddamn time.

Unless you think national security is NOT an issue.

[earthside]

32. George Herbert Walker Bush - 1992?

At first I thought this was a retro ad from Poppy Bush's reelection campaign ... because that is exactly what he was saying about Bill Clinton in 1992.

Old Hill has no shame, no decency, no honor.

[State the Obvious]

36. The world leaders and military don't want to hear Hill and Bill battling for the phone. n/t

[ElsewheresDaughter]

37. I want Clinton on that phone!!!

[jefferson_dem]

39. From her bedroom in Chappaqua ... demanding to know where the fuck her husband is this time...

[Yael]

52. LOL!

:spray:

[jlake]

68. gross.

[City Lights]

38. I want President Obama to answer the phone, Hillary. Not you! eom

[pahdonky]

[LSK]

40. Hello this is Hillary, go ahead, invade Iraq

[yurbud]

42. I want someone who won't start another war just because corporate donors call at 3 am

[yurbud]

43. further proof that we are not Hillary's target audience: she is trying to winner over big oil &

defense contractors.

She might as well make a commercial that says ''I will kill for you. When you say kill, I'll say where and how many.''

[bunny planet]

46. Ok, I officially am convinced I made the right choice in voting for Obama

in my primary although at the time I felt torn between the two of them. If I wanted the politics of fear and hopelessness I'd be voting for a Republican.
Disgraceful ad.
Ready on day one my ass. She can't even keep her campaign from devolving into a fear-mongering, desperate, mud slinging mess. What a disappointment. Way to go Hillary.

[Botany]

57. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

That ad will only make more people vote against her.

BTW @ 3 AM I want the President to be asleep and somebody
else answering the phone calls and then if needed having an
aid waking the President.

[DS1]

47. Oh hey, it's Bill. I somehow managed to end up across town

I think I was mugged, and given an STD. There's a red ring around my dick and I don't know where it came from.

Can you send a car?

[ForeignSpectator]

48. Please, please, please, please

go down in flames... :popcorn:

[Yael]

50. Bwahahaha!

Is she kidding with this?

:rofl: :rofl:

[ForeignSpectator]

51. Hope for her she is...

May I join you?

:rofl: :rofl:

[blogslut]

55. "Hello? This is your mother"

Are you there? Are you coming home?
Hello? Is anybody home?

[jefferson_dem]

59. Seems this is simply a resurrection of a tired old fear factor ad Mondale used against Gary Hart...

---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fu-2Ew1ijg&eurl

[Crunchy Frog]

60. I knew that ad looked familiar!

[mudesi]

63. BE AFRAID!!! BE VERY AFRAID!!!!!

Straight out of the GOP playbook.

:puke:

[ingac70]

64. Hillary copying McCain, naturally.....

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0208/What_is_it_about_3_am_.html#comments

[RBInMaine]

65. So now she's fear-mongering. But I'm not surprised.

Why would anyone be surprised by this? She's already proven that she's frustrated, desperate, and willing to try nearly ANYTHING to win what she thinks is her birthright. Kudos to Obama for hitting back soon in his press conference, and he should cut a counter-ad making the point he did in his press conference rebuttal immediately.

[lumberjack_jeff]

66. Terrible ad for a primary.

The Daisy ad worked for LBJ - but that was a general election.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKs-bTL-pRg

[sisepuede]

67. What I want to know is why it took her so long to answer the phone???

Hmmmmmm....If that's supposed to be the "red phone," ya think she'd be a little quicker in picking it up.

[Jeanette in FL]

70. I thought the exact same thing

Pick up the damn phone.

Welcome to DU, sisepuede :hi:

[hootinholler]

69. Reminds me of this Johnson ad.
