18. She's reenacting a funny political ad--and attacking the GOP at the same time. What's not to love?
Tue Feb 16, 2016, 02:32 AM
Feb 2016
Then she launched into her story.

"One of my favorite political ads of all time was a radio ad in rural Arkansas where the announcer said, 'Wouldn't it be great if somebody running for office said something, we could have an immediate reaction to whether it was true or not. Well, we have trained this dog. Well, the dog, if it is not true, he is going to bark,'" Clinton said. "And the dog was barking on the radio and so people were barking at each other for days after that."

"I want to figure out how we can do that with Republicans. We need to get that dog and follow them around and every time they say these things like, 'Oh, the Great Recession was caused by too much regulation,' arh, arh, arh, arh," Clinton said, letting out a barking noise that caused the audience to laugh and some people to mimic her.

"I think," Clinton concluded, "we could cut right through a lot of their claims."


http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/15/politics/hillary-clinton-barks-like-a-dog-gop/index.html

Amazing that some folks here would attack Hillary over this rather than applaud the sentiment. But no, some here disingenuously jump on it as a sign that Hillary is losing her mind, that "it must be getting too much for her." Oh, and of course you just had to repeat the salacious CNN headline that Hillary is "barking like a dog," without providing any context. How is that anything but pure hate directed at a Dem candidate?

Think about what you did here. You are attacking a Dem for mocking the GOP.

They complain that she is too measured and cautious with her words, that she should relax, be more "authentic." But when she relaxes and talks like a regular person, you pull quotes out of context, bash her over the head with them and question her judgment.

when every word is being recorded and can be used against you. If I'm applying for a job, I talk differently than when I talk to my friends. When I'm talking to my boss, I talk differently than I do when I talk to my friends. When I'm testifying in court, I talk completely differently than I do with my friends.

When you're running for office, you choose your words carefully and you don't talk the same way you do to your friends.

Do you talk to people in church like you do your friends sharing a drink in a bar? Do you speak to your child the same way you speak to your neighbor. Does that make you "inauthentic"? No, it makes you civilized.

I'm sure you get it...or already got it just making stuff up...but as an old friend says...we wear different hats daily. The successful wear the right hat for the job at hand.
