New Hillary Ad Stars Joe Wilson And Valerie Plame

By Greg Sargent - May 9, 2008, 4:08PM

Hillary has a new ad for Oregon starring anti-Bush and anti-war heroes Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame...

WATCH THE YOUTUBE HERE!

The use of the Wilsons, who are revered among anti-war rank-and-file Dems, is designed to appeal to the large, young activist population in Oregon.

"If you care about ending the war," Plame says, "we urge you to join us in supporting Hillary Clinton for president."

1. Who better to end the war than the one who helped start it?
Edited on Fri May-09-08 09:53 PM by GarbagemanLB
As an Oregonian, she would put her money to better use building up her margin in West Virginia and Kentucky. She is losing this state.

113. Clinton voted for it and repeatedly voted to fund it
What is your problem? Obama has consistently been against the war. You so badly want to find fault in him because you can't handle the fact that your candidate voted for it, still stands by her vote, has never apologized for her vote and continued to fund it AND she voted for the Kyle/Lieberman Amendment.

Deal with it. Stop spreading lies.

26. Hillary DID vote for it even after listening to respected military officer/Senator Jim Webb give
this impassioned speech (THE VIDEO IS AT THE LINK AND WORTH WATCHING!!):

Sen. Webb blasts Lieberman/Kyl Amendment: “This proposal is Dick Cheney’s fondest pipe dream”

By: John Amato on Tuesday, September 25th, 2007 at 12:30 PM - PDT

Webb: We are about to vote on something that may fundamentally change the way that the United States views the Iranian military, and we haven’t had one hearing. This is not the way to make foreign policy. It’s not the way to declare war, although this cleverly worded sense of the Congress could be interpreted that way.

Those who regret their vote five years ago to authorize military action in Iraq should think hard before supporting this approach, because in my view, it has the same potential to do harm where many are seeking to do good. The constant turmoil that these sorts of proposals and actions are bringing to the region is counterproductive. They are regrettable substitute for a failure of diplomacy by this Administration.

I do not believe that any serious student of foreign policy could support this amendment as it now exists.

This proposal is Dick Cheney’s fondest pipe dream. It’s not a prescription for success. At best, it’s a deliberate attempt to divert attention from a failed diplomatic policy. At worst, it could be read as a back door method of gaining congressional validation for action with one hearing or without serious debate.

64. ah "old news" -- that reminds me of Schwarzenegger
When Lumpy was running to replace Gray Davis here in California, his history of groping women reared its ugly head. He called a press conference and apologized and said he would answer more questions after the election. I recall after the election, he was on stage somewhere here in California and as he walked off stage a reporter yelled a question to him about dishing on his groping. Schwarzenegger turned his head and said "old news," and with a smug look on his face walked off the stage.

So, um, her YEAH WAR votes are old news? Really?

That kind of flippant disregard/disrespect for peace and all those who have died as a result of Hillary abdicating her Constitutionally mandated war-declaring powers to an idiot is precisely why Hillary will never have the opportunity to answer the red phone at 3:00 A.M.

Blessed be the peacemakers and that ain't her.

We have our nominee and that also ain't her. Time for you to pull up your socks and get over it. Your pointless and pathetic posturing here at DU is becoming tiresome, at best.

It has not been approved (was censored).

The message was "It would have been better if Hillary had not approved the war in the first place".

I am not a sweetie pie.

I think about what is happening to Iraqi innocents every single day - and feel absolutely terrible and guilty. I try to live a normal life - but I know it is at the expense of the soldiers and the Iraqis who were all duped by the Bush criminal enterprise.

And, for all of the big fuss the Wilsons made about the war and that Bush's claims were illegal - where was Hillary then - and why do they support her now. It makes absolutely no sense.

17. She is the only one committed to ending it. Don't bother trying to tell me she
started it. That convoluted thinking is childish. Obama's claim he was against it, but then decided it was ok to fund it is pathetic. Anyone who tries to claim he is more antiwar than Hillary ignores the facts.

97. And once again, you have your facts incorrect -- Here are the links to your claim, since you can't
be truthful in your assertions, I will set the record straight once again, although this is getting tiresome with you:

I just came from a Bill Clinton town hall meeting in Peterborough. The news nugget out of the meeting was his attack on Barack Obama for alleged inconsistency over the Iraq war. The former president reminded his audience that Obama had made a big deal out of a 2002 speech opposing the invasion of Iraq. ... Clinton then expressed surprise that Obama has been allowed to get away with a statement in 2004, "at the Democratic Convention," saying that there was "not much difference" between him and George W. Bush on Iraq. He also quoted Obama as saying that he "did not know" how he would have voted on the now-contentious 2002 Senate resolution authorizing military action in Iraq, had he been in the Senate at the time.

The way Clinton said all this, it sounded as if these statements were part of Obama's big speech to the convention, which marked his introduction to big-time politics. In fact, they are somewhat misleading snippets from newspaper interviews that Obama gave before the convention.

As the keynote speaker, Obama was trying to be loyal to the Democratic nominees, John Kerry and John Edwards, both of whom had voted in favor of the war authorization resolution, along with Hillary Clinton. In an interview reported by the New York Times on July 26, on the first day of the convention, he reiterated his opposition to the war but declined to criticize Kerry and Edwards, saying he was "not privy to Senate intelligence reports."

He then continued: "What would I have done? I don't know. What I know is that from my vantage point the case was not made."


(The Clinton campaign left out that important last sentence when it e-mailed reporters with backup material for the inconsistency claim, which was also made by Hillary Clinton in the televised debate Saturday night.)

In an interview published in the Chicago Tribune the following day (July 27,2004), Obama said that he would have voted "no" on the Senate resolution. But he said he was not in favor of "pulling out now." On the issue of whether to stay in Iraq , he said "there's not much of a difference between my position and George Bush's position at this stage." The context of his remarks makes clear that he was not referring to the original decision to go into Iraq, but the question of whether to remain.

His views on whether to stay in Iraq have changed, of course, as he now advocates a phased withdrawal.

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/01/obama_and_iraq.html



Later that year in November 2004 appearing on The Charlie Rose Show, Obama made it clear that had he been in the Senate at the time, he would have voted against the resolution:

~snip~

CHARLIE ROSE: On Iraq, you opposed, made no question about it. Would the Democratic Party have been better off if a candidate had from the beginning opposed the war? Would that have been a winning political position in 2004, whether it was Howard Dean or not? I mean, Howard Dean, who has been a great guest on this program, but Howard Dean had a controversial personality.

BARACK OBAMA: Right. Hindsight is 20/20. I know what worked for me was consistency in my message.

CHARLIE ROSE: And that was the problem with John Kerry, right?

BARACK OBAMA: You know, what I was able to say was, I`ve looked at the evidence. I`m a hawk when it comes to defeating terrorism. I was strongly supportive of Afghanistan. I would have picked up arms myself to prevent 9/11 again. I don`t think the president has made the case on Iraq, because I don`t see weapons of mass destruction…

CHARLIE ROSE: You said this before…

BARACK OBAMA: I said this in October of — October of 2002, six months before the war was launched. I said, I don`t see — the evidence is paltry about the weapons of mass destruction. I don`t see a connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda.

CHARLIE ROSE: So, what did you…

BARACK OBAMA: Now, what I also said was, once we go in, then we`re committed. I did believe in the Powell theory of you break it, you own it.

CHARLIE ROSE: And the Powell theory also is if you get into a war, make sure you have the support of the American people, and then go all out to win it.

BARACK OBAMA: Exactly. So what I said was, once the decision was made, then we`ve got to do everything we can to stabilize the country, to make it successful, because we`ll have too much at stake in the Middle East. And that`s the position that I continue to take.

CHARLIE ROSE: OK, so therefore if you had been a member of the Senate, you would have voted against the resolution.

BARACK OBAMA: Yes.

CHARLIE ROSE: Along — you would have stood with Senator Kennedy and others, a few. A few.

BARACK OBAMA: Yes. I think it was a mistake. And I also — and this raises a broader issue of the Democratic Party. I think it`s important for us to stand our ground and take our licks, rather than what sometimes is our habit, which is to cave and then whine about it afterwards, which makes us not only look weak but also petty.

90. And HRC votes yea on K/L
as well as voting at least 10 times to fund the war. Your argument is pointless as your gal has done exactly what you keep attacking Obama for. Also, she has spent her campaign attacking rather than convincing voters why she would be a better president. I am personally sick of the Rove play book and I thought other Dems were too. You are gleeful about your pointless attacks on BO and I for one, am unconvinced as to why HRC should win the nomination. I am curious about something though; if HRC were to (miraculously) win the nom, I would vote for her in the GE. If BO wins the nom (pretty much a given at this point), are YOU going to vote for McCain, stay home or vote for BO?

34. She didn't start it. She did help enable it.
Those are facts not to be ignored. Saying she is the "only one" committed to ending it is... well, I don't even have words for it. Ludicrous is about the nicest one I can come up with. Obama did not just "claim" he was against it. HE WAS AGAINST IT. And when he got to the senate he voted to keep the troops afloat while they were stuck there, and was a leader in taking care of vets when they got home from the war. It is the responsible course of action to take. And when he is president, he will end the war responsibly as well.

And if you or anyone else is claiming he won't, YOU ARE SLANDERING THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE WITH LIES. LIES. LIES. LIES.

let me say it one more time:

LIES.

So get your act together, for the country's sake, please.

You do realize that you're making completely outlandish claims, refusing to back them up, and then running away from the discussion to just leave these thoughts dangling in the wind. In my world, thats called a trial balloon, and sorry to tell you, but this one just isn't gonna float.

posts full of LIES?

seems if you were so certain about your position you wouldn't be so open to letting them fly as being called LIES. seems to me you'd make a minimal effort to make yourself look like something other than a LIAR.

but no. just single-line throw-away posts with no substance whatsoever. keep on fighting the good fight ...err... scratch that... fight.

25. Hillary's still got some spunk left!
I don't think she can win at this point, but I see no reason why she shouldn't be afforded the dignity of going down swinging--to paraphrase the poet: "Do not go gently into that good night, rage Hillary, rage against the dying of the light."

It will do people good to see candidates so passionate about what they believe. We'll remember it when the election comes.

Where is the life, and as you say, the enthusiasm? Granted, it's a serious subject, but I think it's a very downer ad. The Wilson's just don't look like the people that I remember just months ago.

BTW, if anyone wants to read other comments about it, you can also see the YouTube video over at MSNBC's FirstRead here:

57. I got the same impression
Perhaps it's the shaky digicam aspect but their body language seems to convey, "I am reading a script. There is an AK-47 pointed at my head, I love you Mom."

Seriously, aren't ambassadors paid to be diplomatic? That's why you rarely see campaign ads by ex-State or UN people (never mind spies), it's not much of an endorsement when a professional dissembler says they like their boss.

incredibly shallow, infantile and typical of Obama supporters.

Joe Wilson is an incredibly courageous and patriotic Democrat.

It's not surprising in the least that you would race for the bottom in order to denigrate him.

Get a sense of humor. I would never "denigrate" Joe Wilson. You might want to research my old posts on this topic.

But I hate the hair. When did "hating the hair" morph into some kind of goofy attack on Joe Wilson's patriotism? Can I say nothing that doesn't piss off Hillary fans, and make them call one "shallow" and "infantile"?

Clueless. :eyes:
