Hillary Clinton Political ads and bloggers

Reports indicate an online political video has sparked controversy from the Internet to the print media. The ad, a riff on Apple’s “1984″ advertisement directed by Ridley Scott to promote the first Macintosh computers, has been altered by an anonymous editor as a campaign ad for Barack Obama.

In the altered version, the “overlord” on the video screen, who is brainwashing the masses (a jab at IBM when the commercial first aired), has been replaced by video clips of Hillary Clinton. In the clips, she soothingly reassures the masses that she wants to have a discussion with them, that she doesn’t want to tell them what to do, that discussion is good. More>

Barack 1984

African American Political Pundit and Blogger, AAPPundit says: The mud-Slinging has begun as the 2008 Campaign goes negative on YouTube. But hey, creativity trumps money in open source politics Look out Obama, Clinton and Edwards the Republican will be coming after you full throttle.

Is this a case of Republican negative campaigning? Is this a setup by Hillary operatives? Is this a setup by Obama operatives? Who do you think created these ad? Is it kids in a basement or Republican operatives?
