Few can accuse the former secretary of State of being too scripted on the campaign trail Monday in Nevada. First, Clinton compared pharmaceutical entrepreneur Martin Shkreli to a bad blind date. Then, she barked like a dog.

Seriously.

1. Clinton attacks republicans with a great stroy.

Republicans attempt to turn it around as a smear on Clinton.

Here is what right wingers are attacking her over.



"One of my favorite political ads of all time was a radio ad in rural Arkansas where the announcer said, 'Wouldn't it be great if somebody running for office said something, we could have an immediate reaction to whether it was true or not. Well, we have trained this dog. Well, the dog, if it is not true, he is going to bark,'" Clinton said. "And the dog was barking on the radio and so people were barking at each other for days after that."

"I want to figure out how we can do that with Republicans. We need to get that dog and follow them around and every time they say these things like, 'Oh, the Great Recession was caused by too much regulation,' arh, arh, arh, arh," Clinton said, letting out a barking noise that caused the audience to laugh and some people to mimic her.

The right wing spin machine directed at LIV's is truly disgusting.

5. This one is going to follow her like a real dog...no one will remember the context...believe me.

6. Right wingers don't provide context.

I have no problem filling that truthful void.

This makes right wingers heads explode. Love it. There is no stoop too low for right wingers. What they are doing with this is the exact same as President Clintons remarks that were recently and horribly taken out of context by the right.

11. I'm with poster #8 .... she just gave the RWers a gender slur. It doesn't get much worse than that.

ETA: and Poster #9

[PonyUp]

2. I bet she wishes now she could wipe that video with a cloth or something. n/t

[libdem4life]

3. I'm really trying to contain my sense of WTF.

If they aren't listening to her superior campaign drivel, she's gone beyond dog whistle to just plain every day dog language.

[PonyUp]

4. Doggone! n/t

[libdem4life]

9. Perfect. n/t

[0rganism]

8. this... is a pretty big mistake

she just gave the equivalent of a "Dean scream"
context and circumstances are irrelevant
the audio of HRC barking is going to end up on every shock jock show in North America

further confirming my assessment of HRC as an excellent debater and a mediocre campaigner

[bunnies]

29. It was on my local radio morning show today.

Thats how I heard about it. During the newscast.

10. Is this her "Dean Scream" moment?

I hated how that scream was used...but it stuck to him after that.

[grasswire]

12. SNL is very happy.

The jokes will write themselves this week.

[TCJ70]

14. That's pretty much what I was thinking...

...It may also come up in the next Republican debate, most likely by Trump. He would.

[grasswire]

15. I would pay money to see Hillary bark at Trump. LOL nt

[PonyUp]

13. Googled "hillary barks like a dog" in quotes. 28,100 results. n/t

[pangaia]

18. On Youtube there are already ast 15 posts--different lengths..

[vaberella]

16. Totally...she barked. Speechless. n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

17. It's her 981st Dean Scream moment according to her detractors

And yet...

[TCJ70]

19. Nah...

...nothing has been as quirky and soundbite-able as this. A "Dean Scream" label should only be reserved for when candidates make sounds that aren't easily typed out. Just my opinion. I can't think of anything comparable from Bernie.

[alcibiades_mystery]

22. Not until the next time!

Yeeeeeeaaaaarggh!

[Bongo Prophet]

38. Bernie doing his "scary monster" is good. Both rather adorable and humanizing.

Bernie still getting my vote, but I find both clips show their respective human sides.

25. He was already unlikely to win

He was supposed to win Iowa and lost to Kerry by 20 points. He was far behind Edwards too.

He did become a very good surrogate for Kerry and then DNC head. The latter was more than what could have been predicted when he did so poorly.

20. Aww cmon guys I think we're being a little too harsh

A bit of a weird moment, but its better than her normal robotic maneuvers.

[renate]

21. I agree

I'm not even going to listen because I don't want to be part of making fun of it. If it were my candidate doing this, I'd think it was off-the-cuff and charming.

[berni_mccoy]

23. She's trying the attention-getting tactics of Trump...

key word: trying.

[beam me up scottie]

24. I'll say it again, I like unscripted angry Hillary when she's giving Republicans hell.

I wish she'd show that side more often but her handlers seem to always try to keep her on the straight and narrow.

[TeamPooka]

26. I thought it was adorable and hilarious. nt

[Arazi]

27. It was cute and REAL! Honestly, she's so much better when she's real

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. The barking meme would work if it enforced an existing narrative.

What is the existing narrative here?


SMH

[ismnotwasm]

30. There isn't one

This is...typical.

[Go Vols]

31. I like this one

[Autumn]

32. I thought it was funny and I liked it.

[Motown_Johnny]

33. It looked like scripted spontaneity to me. n/t

[TwilightGardener]

34. Um..yeah...special note to candidates:

Don't bark, howl, whinny, bray, moo... video is forever. Also, no corndogs on a stick. Corndogs are out.

[AzDar]

35. Jesus. Just idiotic... not to mention she is the last person to be lecturing on honesty.

YIKES.

[Khaotic]

36. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

[azmom]

37. Wall Street: " Good girl, Hillary"

[Matariki]

39. I think it's dumb to make fun of this

as tempting as I'm sure it is. She was just telling a story.

Let's stay focused on issues.
