The 1984 Obama Ad

Exsubmariner · #1 03-18-2007, 11:38 PM

I can't believe there is no thread about this video on the first page of the politics forum.

All in all striking. Compelling. Brilliant beyond words. But, one stops to think about the duplicity here. Isn't Obama just as media manufactured as Hillary? Of course, an astute Orwellian tactic is to make the accusation that the other party is using Orwellian tactics.

Still, this opens up a whole new, uncontrolled guerilla campaign strategy that must have McCain and Fiengold turning in their graves (yes, I think that in truth, both of them are walking dead). I look forward to seeing how this all evolves from here.

I logged on just to see the thread about this...unfortunately, you're the only poster. This should generate quite a conversation...too bad here "for the common good" sentence wasn't in there, though.

It's getting nasty now. This is the first time I saw this ad.

Let no man deceive you...(just a word to the brethren out there); this ad is an indictment of the two-party system in general...including Obama. All it needed was Hillary's "for the common good" line and Bush I's "New World Order" line and it would be...ah well....maybe there's a libertarian hacker out there somewhere.

Is this really an Obama ad? Is the ad saying that Hillary is all smoke and mirrors and that her duplicity is Orwellian in nature?

It is not sanctioned by anyone from Obamas camp.

That ad was terrible. You could replace Hillary with practically anybody including Obama.

Well, I've always called her 'Queen Bee Hillary'. Good to see that Obama also recognizes this. Let the theater of nastiness commence. That was a great ad, Cheeky I say, and I hope it is real and airs all over the world – including China.

Agreed. What a waste of my time. One of the worst poltical ads I've ever seen.

it's an underground ad - not approved by anyone - just a viral video that has blown up

clever, and yet so not original - expect a lot of these this year
