HRC supporters - Microsoft really went in the tank after that Super Bowl ad...

And Apple just went through the roof.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

:scared:

Good. She's a strong woman with strong beliefs. She won't play at war like W has done. She'll stand for true family values.

is scared of HRC. Each time we hear a talk radio Nazi say "She can't win," it means they're afraid of her. Talk radio whores are saying great things about Obama, which should make you wonder. Why would a facsist bastard say nice things about Obama?

I have nothing bad to say about Obama. Whoever wins the Democratic nomination, I'm behind him/her all the way. (That's a sentence you won't hear from most lefty web sites.)

But seriously, between Obama with two years experience and the only team to win back-to-back presidential campaigns since FDR, (the team that beat war hero Bush and war hero Dole), ...

who do you think the super-racist GOP wants to run against?

I do not intend to list them -

I have heard atrocious things said about - Obama, Edwards, Gore, Kerry, Reid, Durbin, and of course, the Clintons. I don't even listen often - just on occasion car rides, to see what they are up to. The ONLY Democrat they don't attack is Leiberman.

By the way, "war hero Bush" was 33% approval rate Bush and Dole was a long term Republican hatchet man. War hero would have been more significance after 911, when being a war hero would have meant something, unless you were a Democrat, whose highest medal showed intelligence, analytical ability, the sense to get information from everyone, even if they weren't officers who had earlier experience, the ability to sell an innovative alternative plan and the skill and bravery to lead the attack -

Head of Faux supposedly gave her a campaign contribution.

and their crimes of office.

This country is well on its way to fascism, and SOME DEMOCRAT needs to step up and deliver the sunshine this nation needs to regain its democratic footing.

If another Coverup Dem administration gets in office, we will end up with another Bush administration soon after, even if it goes by another name.

Little guy vs. big guy (woman)

think different (than the media)

a better product (or candidate) vs. who has the most $$$ and widespread support

:)

I was wondering when Microsoft had made an anti-gay commercial.
Didn't remember hearing about it.

I feel very silly.

:silly:

and Rahm Immanuel?
Does she really exist?

She has been a progressive for at least 35 years -

What position paper/issue paper on her web site in 2007 is a major contradiction of prior statements by Hill?

And over 35 years we have all had minor changes in opinion.

None of the other dems have a chance and the GOP candidates are crap. She has the experience, the money, the savvy, etc. She will dominate in the debates and show her command of domestic and foreign issues. Its a fait accompli.

:sarcasm:

Psssttt when you want to show off how smart you are it helps to get the facts right.

The original 1984 ad was targetted at IBM not Microsoft.

Apple actually got its ass kicked by Microsoft for years.

Apple still doesn't make much profit in their computer division(its Itunes and Ipods that make their dough).

Oh and isn't it funny that a political ad about the New type of Candidate not the same old same old Politician is a rip off of an ad that is nearly 25 years old?

We don't get the same commercials in Canada that you do in the US. When they simulcast the game on Canadian network TV, it's run with Canadian ads. And even though we also get the US network on cable, they play the Canadian simulcast on the US stations as well, because the Canuck advertisers won't advertise on the Canadian stations if the special Superbowl extravaganza commercials are playing on the US stations. Stupid, I know. A few years ago, I did a US national commercial for Milky Way chocolate bars that wasn't shown in Canada, but it was shown during "That '70s Show". Now, we get "That '70s show" in Canada as well, but since it's simulcast with the US airing, I've never actually seen the spot.

So, basically, what does your post mean?

that ran during the SuperBowl in 1984. That was the year the McIntosh was introduced.

For all I knew, she was just the wife of the Governor of Arkansas at the time. They ran a "1984 anti-Hillary ad" (i.e., an anti-Hillary ad in 1984)? Or am I just not getting this? When did the anti-Hillary ad run? What year? Which Superbowl? :dunce:

it was based on big brother. The current ad replaces big brother with Hillary on the screen which gets a hammer thrown through it. I don't know the number of the Super Bowl but it would have been Jan 84

So let me get this straight, then.

In 1984, Macintosh brought out an ad that was based on Orwell's "Big Brother"?

This year, there was another Macintosh ad, and this time they replaced Big Brother's face with Hillary's, and someone threw a hammer through the screen?

And this new, revised Macintosh ad ran during this year's Superbowl?

This thread the first I heard about it. As I said, in Canada, we don't get the US Superbowl ads, even those multimillion-dollar one-time-only commercials, because the ad slots are filled by spots from Canadian advertisers. What confuses me is, why is Macintosh anti-Hillary? I thought Apple (Steve Jobs) skewed more Democratic, while Microsoft (Bill Gates) was more Republican.


ON EDIT: Oh, I see now! I went to YouTube and plugged "Hillary Macintosh Superbowl 1984" into their search thingy, and saw the commercial. It's not a Macintosh commercial slamming Hillary Clinton, but a current spot for Barack Obama that happened to be based on the 1984 Mac ad. Nobody mentioned that; I wouldn't have been so confused if I'd known what the "product" was...

I can see why Apple Corp. would be outraged by such a violation of copyright -- unless they also had a hand in it or got paid for the use of it by the Obama campaign.

Just to be clear - it was made by some over-enthusiastic supporters.
