You know, the Apple ad, a 1984, George Orwell referenced vision of a dystopian future was a darn good ad when it came out. It had something to say, something to sell and it did it memorably. The Obama operative also had something to sell minus the creativity of the original since of course, we see the original ad. He's merely pasted Hillary's face and Obama's campaign symbols on a preexisting video. I don't care what the details of his denials are with reference to whether or not Obama approved or knew what he was doing, typically these sort of things are done with the tacit approval of their masters with the practiced and disingenuous 'plausible deniability.' And following the Mission Impossible creed, -"if you are caught, the IM force will disavow any knowledge of your actions." Well the guy got caught, he was fired and disavowed so as to protect his masters who hum along as before with no accountability and no consequences. This fellow will turn up again, in a better paid position, his service acknowledged, his future secure.
That's not what annoys me so much. What annoys me is the shoddy reporting done by all of the networks when referencing the video. CNN and MSNBC are the bigger creeps here. By now all references to it being the original Apple Computers advertising are gone. now it's the 'anti Hillary attack viral video' and the attack ad creep is getting credit for creativity that isn't his and an idea that he didn't think of. Phil De Vellis - who worked for Blue State Digital which made the Obama campaign site., said that 'this isn't the first citizen's ad' well hell no - that's a damn lie right there since he is attempting to characterize this ad as something done by Joe Citizen rather than by the Obama campaign and someone who worked for the campaign. Dude worked for the Obama campaign by way of the company that made the campaign website. Simple. Easy to connect the dots, anything else said is obfuscation and misdirection.
Personally I'm glad that the veneer on Obama is starting to erode and the idea of a messiah rather than a human candidate is making way.
