[Via Democratic Underground]
Hillary Clinton is running a TV ad in West Virginia attacking Barack Obama on the gas tax issue. To make her point, her ad displays a newspaper article titled "Obama attacks Clinton’s gas tax plan". However, the article’s title doesn’t match the article’s contents – it appears that the title has been superimposed on a different article. Look closely at the ad and you will see that the article flashed on screen is about "Troopergate". The article is about Eliot Spitzer’s "Troopergate" scandal. But who could forget the original "Troopergate" scandal made famous by Bill Clinton.
Does the Hillary Clinton campaign really want to remind people of "Troopergate" and all the other scandals of the Clinton era? We already know that the Clinton campaign is loose with the facts, but this is a bit too much.
The YouTube version of the ad is below:
also ads in left upper corner says
“Simply raise prices and pocket the difference – Newsweek – Clinton aids admit it won’t do much for you but it will help her politically”
They should have put at the end of the ad – not approved by a single economist in the known universe.
And the text in the upper left:
Clinton aides admit: it won’t do much for you, but it will help her politically.
here is an interesting quote:
Someone also gave me a full-page flier entitled “Don’t Burn Down Denver If Obama Isn’t Nominated: Learn How We Can Prevent a Riot ad Read About Hillary on our Revolutionary Party Homepage.” Sweet Lord!
