Worst. Campaign. Ad. Ever. Hillary leaves the band.

[TheDonkey]

WTF is this.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=IA8Wy51Ionk

The Hillary campaign should be ashamed.

This is not a joke!



:wtf:

[ingac70]

1. A piss poor attempt...

to look "cool" and appeal the the "youth" vote.

Pass that on to everyone under 30 you know.

[Hippo_Tron]

109. It amazes me that politicians think they need to dumb down everything to appeal to young people

IMO Obama has been so successful at appealing to young people because he talks to us like he would talk to anyone else.

[Diane R]

2. Please tell me that isn't real. Did her campaign do that???

[ingac70]

5. It is linked to from her website.

Yes... she actually paid someone to make that.

[Barack_America]

6. Yep. Her supporters hard-earned $$, hard at work.

:eyes:

[truedelphi]

Somewhere in America

A nine year old Hillary supporter is really happy.

But he or she is probably not one of hte smarter nine year olds!

(Kids don't like to be talked down to,usually.)

[truedelphi]

98. Self Deleted as its a dupe

[grantcart]

3. This was the Clinton campaign response to the "yes I can" video which

was put out by supporters independent of Obama.

[Beausoir]

4. Once again, Obamanation gets suckered. You crazy funny kids!

[Barack_America]

7. Suckered how? We all recognize that it's lame....

And none of us donated our money to the campaign that paid for this POS.

[Common Sense Party]

8. Does YouTube allow Comments to be censored?

Because there is not ONE negative comment about that video.

NOT ONE.

I know, I just tried to post one.

There will be NO public disapproval of Hillary. Thou shalt not speak ill of Hill.

[Barack_America]

9. You can delete the ones you don't like. And plant ones you do. n/t

[Common Sense Party]

16. So much for her "listening tour."

I guess she doesn't want to listen to people who disagree.

[Barack_America]

20. They don't "count". n/t

[TheDonkey]

10. It looks like all the responses are "plants"

I do not see how people could find that professional, engaging, credible... there is no positive adjective that can be linked to that POS.

[Common Sense Party]

13. Look at these comments and tell me they're real:

LukeLellen (2 weeks ago) Hillary seems like a really nice person!

ddsnively (2 weeks ago) Great video with a REAL message!

[TheDonkey]

17. Real meaning written by her staffers.

[WillyT]

84. WillyT (2 weeks ago)... BARF !!!

:puke:

WillyT (today): :puke:

:wtf:

[parasim]

30. Somebody reposted it and did not censor the comments...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=KyUUx3no_gs&feature=related

Maybe they just don't understand how YouTube works...

[Barack_America]

35. "ah.... so this is what the collapse of Hillary's campaign looks like."

That's my favorite "real" comment.

Thanks for posting that.

[donheld]

108. The real comments are what destroy the whole thing -- Her campaign should take down the link.

She's only embarrassing herself and her campaign by leaving it up.

Forget about her politics....that is just a bad ad. Almost seems to take college students for morons, that they have to do some weak "band" ad. to get their attention.

This actually made me laugh out loud at how manipulative and hilariously out of touch Hillary is with the common voter. Of course you'll have ignorant/angry women who vote for her simply because she has a vagina, and elderly voters who simply haven't followed politics for decades.

Nice base of support. At least Obama represents a cross-section of American society. Young, and old, right and left, black and white, male and female.

[fenriswolf]

78. lol great finally real comment

"Jesus Christ, Hillary. One word:

FAIL. "

[alteredstate]

61. Yep

The Clinton campaign is only allowing glowing reviews of that thing.

[Zodiak]

68. The person who puts the vid up

can remove any comments they want. If it's your channel, you are the mod.

How do I know this? Because I am a musician who posts vids on youtube.

[Stephanie]

11. OMG that's assinine

Why is she so fucking condescending? She's trying to pander to students but she's just insulting their intelligence.

[Barack_America]

12. But you've all seen the worst video ever, right?

Not technically from her campaign (so they say)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=4Hb63ruEt4I&feature=related

[TheDonkey]

15. God Awful

But maybe this is part of that much talked about "machine" that will combat the RW forces in the GE.

[HughBeaumont]

19. I made it through about a minute of that.

I've heard American Idol songs more bearable than that.

[Common Sense Party]

22. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. nt

[JI7]

23. but they support her don't they ?

i think it's kind of nice to see people get enthusiastic and do things like this even though i don't support her.

[Barack_America]

Maybe, but...

I'm certain that most of these people have since gone into hiding. So their ability to participate in the primaries is uncertain...unless they had the forethought to vote absentee immediately after participating in this video.

[KAZ]

34. What fucking planet am I living on?

[CTLawGuy]

77. "We're fighting in a war...."

"A war that Hillary voted Fooor!"

oh, that's not the lyrics?

[unapatriciated]

92. That song was sooo bad I have to counter it with real music...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=jTW0y6kazWM

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Hr8k8WHTzN0

[HughBeaumont]

14. That is the dumbest goddamned political ad I've ever seen in my life.

Unbelievable.

I've seen Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer movies that were better than this.

OK, that's pushing it. But this ad is teh suxxorz. Or however you spell that.

[Drunken Irishman]

18. This ad reminds me of Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell.

Always trying to be hip, but he utterly fails every time.

Hillary Clinton is this campaign's Mr. Belding.

[fizzgig]

29. ...

:rofl:

[sendero]

54. It reminds me....

... of her trying to do what Bill did with a saxaphone, only he pulled it off and she cannot.

[WolverineDG]

64. Yeah, Bill could actually play a saxophone n/t

[karynnj]

115. Even closer, John Kerry actually was in a band

Bill wasn't in a rock band. No idea if Obama was ever in a band.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

89. Mr. Belding's trying to join Zack Attack.

:P

[tabasco]

21. Dear God, that is bizarre.

Her PR people are out of touch with reality.

[UALRBSofL]

24. I think she is connecting well with the young people.

Being in a band with young people inspires them. She's bringing about change and getting the youth involved in solutions we desperately need after the mess Bush is leaving us in.

[TheDonkey]

25. I see you sat on the focus group that approved this

;)

[Common Sense Party]

27. This is ineffectual, clumsy pandering at its worst.

"Maybe this will get me some of the young, hipster, slacker vote. They can't ALL go for Obama!"

[Barack_America]

28. I represent the "young people"...

...and I can tell you that this video does her no favors among us.

[truedelphi]

97. Are you old enough to remember the Bob Dole on Saturday Night

who was in a reality TV show and was voted out by his roommates? (Way back during the 1996 Clinton-Dole race)

That would have made a better video for Dole than this makes for Hillary - at least the SNL skit was hilarious.

[KAZ]

31. OK, now your purpose here is clear. I knew this shit was

going on. Hope you sleep well at night. On second thought, no I don't

[WillyT]

86. And 1157 Post Since Jan 25th, 2008 !!!

That's gotta be some sort of record, no???

;)

[MonkeyFunk]

112. Nope

There's a Texan here who signed up on Jan. 30 and has over 2300 posts.

[parasim]

38. I'm guessing you don't actually personally know any "young people".

Both my kids (who are of the age this video is targeting) see this as parody.

[ButterflyBlood]

40. I am a young person

And this ad just makes me want to laugh.

[Zodiak]

69. Young people respect those that can actually play

...not posers.

And they can smell a poser a mile away.

[Norrin Radd]

110. Holy crap you are prolific!

Took me forever to reach 1000 posts.

[Political Heretic]

26. I actually thought this one was funny and well done.

It's that other one that makes me weep inside. :P

[Barack_America]

32. Well that other one could make a videotaped bowel movement look compelling...

At least people can relate to BM's.

But bopping around in a banquet hall with coordinated fashions and dance moves...um, no.

[UALRBSofL]

37. I think I'm the only person on the face of the earth that likes the other one.

It's cute. It reminds me of the Partridge Family. Oh well, you can't please everybody.

[Recursion]

43. "It reminds me of the Partridge Family"

Yes. Exactly. Which is why a lot of us think it completely sucks.

[nomorewhopper]

33. They actually expected this video to go viral! No wonder her internet staff was fired.

[Common Sense Party]

36. Were they?

I hope they didn't get severance packages.

This is one steaming pile of guano.

[Stephanie]

88. They were!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4596057&mesg_id=4596057

[TheDonkey]

96. wow

[Beregond2]

39. Ad

That is so pathetic. What a lame attempt to "relate," as parents used to say...in the sixties...

The actors even look embarrased.

[Recursion]

41. I've found all of her ads embarrassing

This, the alleged music video they put out (apparently it's still 1986 in their minds). The worst was her Christmas ad. It wasn't as lame as these two, per se, because it wasn't a painfully misguided attempt to be hip, but it was a painfully misguided attempt to be funny. I hope all copies have been burned.

[Recursion]

42. This one was worse

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzBvQ9EeF3k

I mean, really?

Really?

They asked a professional to come up with a Christmas message, and that was it?

Really?

[FlyingSquirrel]

44. "Epic Fail"

Best comment on this ad..

[angie_love]

45. These are some of the comments from the uncensored version

LOL.

Wow, I sure am inspired to get out the vote now that I see Hillary is "hip" and "funky fresh." I'll be sure to tell my "dawgs" that "g" is "where it's at". Now if she would only "bust some mad rhymes" I would certainly explain that "yo" is in "the hizzy".

Hillary for president of 1994

Whoa like EXTREME pandering dudette!
Vote for me, I'll lower your tuition and stop the war (I helped start).

Wow. I'm almost embarrassed for her.
No wonder she fired her campaign manager.

is sooo funny!!! Because it's really laughing at her.
iheartnachtwey (4 days ago)

Oh. My. Lord. I was a little on the fence between O and H, but now my mind is made up. Ouch.

samplebitch DO taze her, bro.
dirtcocoon WHOA BRO!!!! EXTREME!

[Barack_America]

48. "ah.... so this is what the collapse of Hillary's campaign looks like."

That one was my favorite.

[angie_love]

46. My god, do people actually use the word "shred"?

Am I out of touch, do young people use this word? I'm 27 and I've never heard anyone use "shred" as a slang word. :shrug:

[Barack_America]

49. I believe it was used frequently...in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

[Zodiak]

70. It is still used

...in reference to being able to play guitar really, really fast. However, "shredding" is no longer considered only a complimentary term, as "shredding" has very little soul in it.

[Norrin Radd]

111. "Shred" as in "shredding," as in "shredding cheese," as in "cheesy."

[ErnestoG]

47. That is so unbelievably stupid....

yeah, Goldwater Girl does the guitar thing.

Right.

[TexasObserver]

50. Hillary's youtube videos demonstrate her campaign's complete cluelessness

Who do they think watches youtube? Not Hillary's voters, that's who.

[AJH032]

51. overreact?

seems like a short video just trying to have some fun. What is the big deal?

[goodgd_yall]

102. I'm with you

I feel like the board's been invaded by aliens. I don't get it.

[Alexander]

52. Dumbest. Commercial. Ever.

[workinclasszero]

53. Ahahahahah

That video fails on sooo many levels! Just like the "Hillary for You and Me" vid!:puke:

Is this the garbage the smartest woman in the world blew her 100 million dollar war chest on??:rofl:

Well there was the helicopter tour in Iowa, that prolly cost a bunch too.:rofl:

Boy after running the most out of touch, arrogant, underhanded and disastrous election campaign that I have ever seen, Hillary has proven a few things to me.

One being that if she somehow succeeds in winning by cheating, seating the MI and FL delegates, she will be utterly destroyed by the Rethug party in the fall. McPain will win and we will be at war in Iraq and Iran and ???? for the next 4 and quite possibly 8 years.

The Rethugs must be salivating at the thought of annihilating Hillary in the fall! They would rip her to shreads!

Dems need to wake up and back the only person that has a chance of winning the election this fall!

GOBAMA!!!

[formernaderite]

55. lame

as my kids would say....completely lame.

[psychopomp]

56. Yeah, it is pretty bad

It makes you wonder who green-lit this waste of $$$$$$...

[Vinca]

57. That can't possibly be a bona fide commercial from her campaign.

Can it? If that's the one they were reported to be fighting over, there was a good reason for the fight. That's embarrassing.

[Yael]

81. Her campaign posted it on YouTube

Someone gave it the old :thumbsup:

:rofl:

[NashVegas]

58. The Problem With This Video

It's too smart.

[tabasco]

104. Yes, the unwashed masses are too stupid to understand Hillary's brilliant ad!

Only the pod people think that shit is smart.

[jefferson_dem]

59. Hillary is so UNcool. Literally.

Funny how there are almost 340,000 views but only 79 comments...and they are all positive.

The Hillary Camp loves them some censorship - filtering out the voices of real people so only Bots are heard.

[globalvillage]

63. All the comments positive, yet

it's rated only 2 out of 5 stars.

The video isn't as bad as the censorship of the comments. They should have either disabled the comments entirely or allowed all but the really inappropriate ones to stay.

[Hav]

87. .

Well, it seems that the comments get previewed first before they are accepted. From all the hatred from the right, they might not have that much choic.
On the otherside, one can often find negative comments on videos that are released by Obama's YouTube account.

[SoxFan]

60. FAIL

[my3boyz]

62. She's trying to say: Barack's not the rock star! I'm the rock star!

I can have large crowds too!" PATHETIC! Bill and Hill are so jealous of Barack that they can't see straight! They don't understand how this newcomer could come along and shake up all their plans.

**I saw some footage earlier of Bill/Obama with a little girl after Katrina. Bill did not look angry at Barack then. He only started to hate Barack when it looked like Barack might take away his chance to be in the White House again.

[paperbag_ princess]

113. that is the opposite of what she is trying to say

Why can't people see that this is an obvious parody? She is not trying to say that she is a "rock star" like Obama. She is mocking herself for NOT being cool. The point of the ad is that she knows she is not cool and could never really be in a band....but she will make a great president....a president doesn't have to be cool.

Why can't people understand this point? It is so obvious.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

65. I Liked It. It Was Creative And Fresh And Obviously Aimed At Youth. What's The Problem?

I got a kick out of it actually. It was cute.

[KittyWampus]

66. Pre-teens can't vote.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

67. Not Sure Why Half Of GDP Gets So Into The Election Then, Since This Forum Wreaks Of Prepubescence

[goodgd_yall]

101. I tell you

no truer words----between this thread and the one on the "Hillary4UandMe" video.

[anigbrowl]

107. You wreak havoc. Your reek of desperation. I haz dictionary.

[Iktomiwicasa]

74. heh

:wtf:

[goodgd_yall]

100. I thought it cute too.

And it's a bit of a spoof.

[AngryAmish]

71. Maybe it appeals to the sclerotic and incontinent Hillary voter?

Ya know, her main demographic. Every normal person thinks this is brain dead.

[AP]

72. I'm not sure the period between "Campaign" and "Ad" works.

[C_U_L8R]

73. duuuuuuuude

such a lame attempt at viral

good strategy there... insult young people as slacker stereotypes... meh

[proud2BlibKansan]

75. That is pretty stupid

:rofl:

[NYCGirl]

76. Hillary Clinton IS Hannah Montana.

:rofl:

This should totally get the tweener vote! (A suggestion though — it needs more pink and glitter.)

[Perky]

79. Hold it... Where is the "I'm Hillary and I approve this ad?"

[Yael]

83. It isn't being run on TV -- her campaign posted it on YouTube

Different rules.

[Whisp]

80. o jeebers, I'm blushing in embarrassment for her...

Who the hell made this?
who would think this is clever or funny, or anything??

I get this same feeling when a republican tries to pull off humor and crashes.
seen plenty of that.
We have Penn, a version of Rove
We have a condidate that is never wrong
She avoids answering questions better than most
She is Entitled to this, dammit!
She has no clue whatsoever of who we really are as a people
Now we have rumours of election fraud, too.


there is something terribly wrong in upsidedown land.

[Yael]

82. She doesn't have Bills charisma -- but she is trying to tap into that

He had the sax so this makes her cool as well.

The problem is that Bill stood on a stage and hammered it.

This campaign is going down in flames and they are throwing everything but the kitchen sink to try and stop it.

[GarbagemanLB]

85. 'Hillary 4 U & Me! Bring back our democracy!' Both of these videos are corny as hell.

[Hav]

90. .

I don't blame Clinton for this, I blame the idiot who thought about making a video like this and about the idiot who believed it was a good idea to release it after seeing it. It might have been better if one hadn't this constant feeling that the other band members were actors or if one could have seen actual footage of her playing. And then the drama is just too much..anyway...


"Some people called it the comeback of the guitar solo."
"You have this crucial member...musically this is the reason we are gonna be the biggest band in the world."

There is only so much you can do if the people that manage your campaign are obviously so incompetent and out of touch.

[dana_b]

91. my 18 year old...

just threw up in her mouth. We watched this and the Hillaryforuandme ad. Jeez... she needs to hire some new ad managers.

[Colobo]

93. What a piece of garbage. She's just NOT cool.

[Infinite Hope]

94. I think that ad leaves every objective viewer asking themselves: "What the hell...?" n/t

[lame54]

95. How is quitting the band a good thing?...

Solo artist are rarely as good as the band they came from

[goodgd_yall]

99. I don't understand the overreaction with pro-Hillary videos

Too much caffeine? :wtf: is right.

[CorpGovActivist]

103. Oh. Mah. GAWD.

:rofl:

That was a priceless example of desperation!

Thank you for posting!!!

:rofl:

OMG. Mark Penn got paid HOW MUCH for that?

:rofl:

- Dave

[krkaufman]

105. wow, was that lame.

(though kudos for not going the typical diversity route with the band member casting)

[anigbrowl]

106. It's code...

...she's saying she'll quit the Democratic party if they don't let her have longer guitar solos.

[boston bean]

114. I loved that video. nt
