You are right. This is unlikely to get as much traction as it's not nearly as well done. However, some of the other Hillary ones are. See previous comment. (Hey! I'm new here--just learning the interface.)

Same person, different skill level?

Interesting you should bring that up. I wondered the same thing about the first crop. What if the well-done, but fairly restrained one supposedly posted by ParkRiver47 was actually done by the same people who did the much nastier one with the Jennifer Flower interview from Fox News? When you view one, the other comes up on YouTube. Some people, as I did, must click on the second. Some people must go to the paranoid website listed at the end that accuses Mrs. Clinton of being a procurer for her husband's career as a serial rapist.

The Obama one, however, is not nearly as well done as the first ones. So I would question whether it comes from the same source.

And, yes, Micah, I am the Chris Finnie you interviewed for The Nation about the Dean campaign. Good to hear from you again too! Chris

Barack 1984

Heads-up: There's a response video to Hillary 1984 that's started circulating on the web. More on that below. But first this bit of self-promotion: I'm on CNN's "Situation Room" today at around 5:50pm eastern and on the CBS Evening News, in both cases talking about the Hillary video and what it all means, and PdF co-founder Andrew Rasiej is going on MSNBC tonight with Keith Olbermann. Set your DVRs and Tivos.
