So Hillary 'stole' Walter Mondale's Red phone ad?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

after all the fuss she had over Obama's Xeroxing, here we have blatant using of Walter Mondales 1984 idea!

1. yes

and surely she could have taken the ideas of someone who was a little more successful...

[Raine]

2. Yes she did and

if won't help her anymore than it helped him.

[mtnsnake]

3. She didn't steal anything

Her and others have used a similar idea about the phone thing. No one has a patent on phones in commercials.

BTW, you wouldn't by any chance be just a tad jeaalous that Hillary used the phone thing before Barack did, now would you? Then again, there's no way Obama could ever do an ad like that, considering how inexperienced he is and all.

7. Dude, my father is a big Hillary fan and even he thought it sucked.

Not so much that he won't vote for her of course, but he said it was "cheap ploy".

Other than that, you two would get along great. :)

[kirby]

10. But Obama did rebut with an ad like that...

Havent you seen the awesome rebuttal to the red phone ad?

11. BUT but Obama had that "very orginal" ad of the runner throwing at Hillary's"big brother" image

[JimGinPA]

4. No She Didn't...

She just Xeroxed it.



:rofl:

5. Bigger than Dallas -- except she never answered hers

[casus belli]

6. She has got the worst campign managers I've ever seen.

Quite a shame, really. Minus all the crap her managers have introduced into the campaign, she's an extraordinary human being. I think most of the fault for her campaign's implosion lies with campaign management who don't really understand the political climate they're trying to serve their message in. I'm not convinced the desperation is hers. She's got people whispering in her ear who want to win at all costs.

8. Not To Mention Stealing The Terra, Terra, Terra Idea From *

I found it utterly disgusting.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

22. kitchen sink strategy

[ContinentalOp]

9. Haha, both ads would be equally absurd in a general election as well.

What was Mondale thinking calling a candidate "untested" in the primaries when he would be running against an incumbent in the GE? It's kind of like Clinton's ridiculous obsession with the "experience" angle when the Republican challenger she would be running against in the GE can claim way more experience.

[Zhade]

12. So, to recap: "your kids will die" fearmongering, lies, attempts to cheat (FL/MI/TX), and now theft.

Real honorable, that Clinton. I'm stunned people support her.

13. Politics isn't about originality.

It's OK to repeat themes.

14. 60's Batman TV series did it first. n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

[meow mix]

15. i thought she hated plagiarism

:wtf:

[Cheap_Trick]

20. only when the other guy does it n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

23. THIS WAS MY POINT!!!!!!!

thank you!!!!

[David Zephyr]

16. Another Mark Penn idiotic campaign idea. Don't worry. Hillary is going to be trounced in Texas.

Texas is going to be a blow out for Obama.

[Hieronymus]

17. Meet the Press showed footage of Bill Clinton saying it's best ......

to trust the candidate who offers hope than the one who offers fear. Obviously some time ago.

[Raine]

18. I hope the voters will follow Bill's

adivce on that. ;-)

[suston96]

19. Steal what? The guy who authored the Mondale ad re-authored it for Hillary - so what steal? nt

[Medusa]

21. She didn't steal it.

She xeroxed it. :rofl:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

24. duplicity!!
