What's the opposite of a hit piece...?
The photo montage below, which was posted into a thread here, was obviously intended to be a hit piece against Hillary Clinton - NOT a fair one, nor, as it turns out, an effective one. In fact, for me at least, it had the effect of humanizing Hillary, of pointing up her theatrical charm, and of summing up her political life. I stared and stared at it. As some of you know, I've been no fan of hers, so it's impact on me is curious. But given that it appears that her campaign may have ended this evening, I wanted to share it with more of you - especially with her supporters. I hope you'll take it as sincere expression of generosity towards Hillary. Scroll way down to see it:

Wednesdays are organ meat.
This purports to be the original, but you can't see the hook:

4. The opposite of a hit piece is a puff piece.
She looks like the Queen of England in that one with specs.

6. Yea, I started a thread about "unflattering photogate" on
Monday.

Of course the usual suspects denied they went out of their way to post unflattering photos of HIllary. :eyes:

7. yes. but when you put dozens of those together, the effect is reversed.

She just strikes me as theatrical. This is a woman who lived a more interesting life than any of us.

8. Somebody's got WAAAY too much time on their hands.
I wonder what sources they used to assemble all those images - seems like they might've searched through the archives of the Site that Cannot Be Named. :rofl:

She does make funny faces but some of them are kind of fun and sort of endearing. Like a cartoon character.

15. That one at top right is absolutely endearing.
She looks so pleased. I'm not even snarking at all here. It's just nice.

16. Hillary has very mobile features. This produces all sorts of remarkable photographs.
Edited on Wed May-07-08 06:03 AM by Perry Logan
If you observe Clintophobes (dyed-in-the-wool Clinton-bashers), you'll notice they maintain the delusional believe that everyone hates the Clintons as much as they do.

Poll after poll shows that normal people like the Clintons just fine, but this just doesn't register with the anti-Clinton crowd.

The photos probably struck the original poster as showing how evil Hillary is. But the OP had a completely different reaction. That's because normal, healthy people don't hate the Clintons.
