137. No, it's awful, and it's insulting to the people she's trying to win over

Sat Dec 6, 2014, 12:45 PM

Dec 2014

It just shows how low her opinion really is of rural Americans that she believes they could be swayed by such childish lyrics and mediocre musicianship.

Listen, I live in the Appalachia of California. These people are my neighbors and while I disagree with them on many issues that aren't stupid. They know when they are being patronized and that's exactly what this piece of crap does.

And they aren't the only ones who will be offended by it. What are black voters supposed to think? She's already come out and trashed the country's first African American president. Her 2008 campaign engaged in some questionable and divisive racial tactics. Now she produces a campaign video proclaiming her love for rednecks.

There's only two possibilities. Either Hillary Clinton is getting some godawful advice from somebody or she's utterly out of touch with most of America. She needs black voters to be elected and she has no chance of picking up the rural white vote.

The article did not mention which pac put this out, I would check the sources of the article and the Thinkingabout Dec 2014 #129

Yes it did: "a news release from the Stand With Hillary PAC" muriel_volestrangler Dec 2014 #131

The link given in the post states Stand Up With Hillary, her pac is Stand With Hillary, Thinkingabout Dec 2014 #135

That is the link given in the post; it does NOT state "Stand Up With Hillary" muriel_volestrangler Dec 2014 #140

Look on the top left side of the video, look at the bottom and you will see sanalio.com as the Thinkingabout Dec 2014 #142

The link you gave is the link in the OP muriel_volestrangler Dec 2014 #144

Go bach to the original post, watch the video provided, look at the picture included in Thinkingabout Dec 2014 #145

Just correct your false "The article did not mention which pac put this out" claim in #129 muriel_volestrangler Dec 2014 #146

Okay, when I look at the video it is not a Hillary pac, I doubt if many saw Thinkingabout Dec 2014 #147
