Does anyone look familiar in HRC's latest ad?
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/#24115516

When this video just aired an hour or so ago on MSNBC I felt that the people in the commercial looked familiar. Hmmmmmm.

Anyhow, I quickly thought of this photo:



After digging up this photo on this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5494368&mesg_id=5494368
I still feel that I recognize these people. There's a subthread going now about it on whether there's any matches (and yes, one Obama supporter doesn't see it) and I'd like to hash this out.

I feel very confident that the red heads are the same woman in each. The first man in the original photo is a maybe.

That being said, I'd love to track down any and all photos of the, at least, 5 other protests that spontaneously erupted on Saturday (http://www.wjactv.com/statecollege/15871123/detail.html) because my hunch may just be spot on.

1. I don't know. I'm still comparing fonts in Dan Rather's TANG memos, so won't
get a chance to check this out until later. :toast:

4. Please check back
The initial google searches don't show any images, and I'm going through videos now, such as this one:



This is why I started a new thread (besides being encouraged to start one) - I'd like anyone who has them to share pix or video of the Bittergate people.

10. Thanks. 1 and 3 are the ones that ring a bell
I'd like to find pix of the other at least 4 protests to see if they're involved.

The ad just seemed so fucking phony, and there may just be proof of that.

Number one looks different from the photo I posted, but her ears, head shape, and the facial features you can see from the angle seems similar. It may not be her, but I trust the initial gut more than not.

Number 3 is the maybe-guy.

Again, this thread is to hopefully pull out any photos of the at least 5 protests.

They're also the same two people from this photo:

They're not in the commercial though. They must be the authentic protesters.

21. Nah, as noted on Dan Abrams' show tonight, and no one disagreed,
they're probably Hill staffers. No muss, no fuss. The question was, "How did they round up those people so fast?"

26. LOL!! Do all Hillary Supporters look alike to you? NOT a ONE is the same.
The hair length and color are off on your red head, as is the shape of her head. And it is definitely a different man. They look absolutely nothing alike.

27. Here's my take
No, I do not think any of the people in your first photo appear in Senator Clinton's ad.

The reason the ad rings false, besides it's premise, is that the people are quoting lines from a script. They were told what to say and being non-actors, they are not capable of doing so convincingly. In truth, the one person who looks like she is speaking her own words is the red-headed woman.

As for the voice-over talent - that's a pro. I'm pretty sure that's the dude that narrated a "Night Before Christmas" tape my kid used to listen to. I think we got that tape at Der Wienerschnitzel.

:)

29. I just don't think those two women are the same
The woman in the protester photo has a thicker neck and a shorter cut than the woman in the ad.

30. Check it out. Our tall friend isn't a PA voter.
Clinton's offended Pa. voter - not

Posted April 16, 2008 7:30 AM
The Swamp

by Josh Drobnyk

Barack Obama can take some solace out of Hillary Clinton’s new television ad in Pennsylvania. At least one of her supporters featured in the spot hammering Obama for his small town comments isn’t registered to vote in Pennsylvania.

Clyde Thomas, who sports a goatee in the ad and says, “the good people of Pennsylvania deserve a lot better than what Barack Obama said,” is actually registered in New Jersey. He voted there for Clinton Feb. 5. He only recently moved to Bethlehem, Pa.

“It shouldn’t be a big deal. I explained it to the campaign,” Thomas said in an interview. “I see Pennsylvanians for what they are. I grew up with the values of Pennsylvanians.”

He added: “I am from a perspective of someone coming into Pennsylvania new like Barack Obama is, and seeing how great they are and how they welcome me.”

31. I don't give a shit if they're the same people or not.
That protest was right out of the 2000 Florida GOP playbook.

Fuck Hillary.

33. Some of my husband's PA relatives say that people who move from NJ increase their cost of living.
Are they bitter? :shrug:
