"We already have a president who plays the politics of fear and we don't need another."

That was the Obama camp's response to Hillary's new ad that has video footage of bin Laden in it.

I agree. Why is she playing the fear card? I wish Obama would point out that Hillary voted to divert attention AWAY from finding bin Laden to go into Iraq!

1. Fear is a strong emotion that makes people irrational

since voting for her is an irrational act...

[jenmito]

5. True. Especially for the less educated, which are the main people who support her.

She MUST think they're stupid to play the fear card like the Repubs. do.

[NJmaverick]

9. Almost every poll shows the more educated you are

the more likely you are to support Obama over Clinton. Pretty sure that was the case with the more educated also preferring Kerry over Bush and Gore over Bush.

[jenmito]

12. Yup...

I guess she's taking advantage of their stupidity-or at least counting on it.

[NJmaverick]

14. I think the term is ignorance, uneducated people are not necessarily stupid

They can be ignorant, as a result their lack of education though.

[jenmito]

15. True. I guess I meant SHE thinks they're stupid. n/t

[flpoljunkie]

16. Clinton/Gore said it best in their 1992 campaign flyer...

[jenmito]

20. Man-I wish Obama's campaign would use that-superimposed on Hillary's ad!

:hi:

[flpoljunkie]

24. I wouldn't be surprised to see it, would you, Jen?

[jenmito]

25. No. But they should've done it by now. The PA primary is tomorrow.

:hi:

[GOPNotForMe]

2. She is embarrassing herself at this point.

But she's proven she doesn't mind doing that! Anything to win!

[jenmito]

6. I agree...

that's why the SDs need to end this NOW.

[Bigleaf]

3. Damn right!

[jenmito]

7. Nice pic!

:D

[Bigleaf]

18. Seems fitting for this thread.

[jenmito]

21. It's perfect!

:hi:

[caledesi]

4. Amen! nt

[jenmito]

10. Thanks, caledesi!

:hi:

[jenmito]

8. WOW! They just played this ad on CNN, leaving out the beginning with bin Laden, and McAuliffe, who

was on at the time, MENTIONED that bin Laden's in that ad, saying you must be ready for ANYTHING. He played the fear card right on the show! :eyes:

[City Lights]

19. "you must be ready for anything"

We don't need lectures on readiness from the camp that wasn't prepared for the primary to continue beyond Super Tuesday. :eyes:

[jenmito]

23. Great point! I wish Obama would use THAT line, too!

:hi:

[BlooInBloo]

11. Why? It's all they have.

[jenmito]

13. I know, but it's disgraceful. I REALLY hope this backfires and does NOT work on Dems.

But it may work on her base. We'll see.

[NJSecularist]

17. I have no problem playing the fear card against the GOP.

We need to win at all costs.

[jenmito]

22. Hillary's playing it against another Dem.

Shameful.
