In a post yesterday over at democraticunderground.com a newspaper clip used in a Hillary Clinton ad was blown up to show that the headline was a fake. Initially it seemed as though this was simply a matter of laziness on Clinton's part. They couldn't find the headline they wanted so they made one up and pasted it over a different article.
As the Democratic Underground points out however, the story below it is not just any story, it is regarding troopergate. Troopergate is the story of an allegation that two Arkansas state troopers had arranged a sexual liaison for Bill Clinton back when he was the Governor of the state.
When I saw this it occurred to me that maybe this was more than a coincidental slip up by someone producing a pro-Clinton ad. It seemed too good to have happened by chance.
Sure enough when I replayed the ad looking for other signs of anti-Clinton propaganda I found it.
If you pause the video at about ten seconds, which is the same time the fake headline is on the screen, you can see the other anti-Hillary message. Look up and to the left of the headline. You'll see Hillary Clinton talking to someone. Underneath are the words "Clinton aides admit, it won't do much for you, but would help her politically." From the voice-over it seems that the clips are from an Obama ad, but it doesn't seem like the best choice to flash across the screen.
What is going on over there? Are her people revolting? Did some sort of anti-Hillary force infiltrate the video production team?
I want to get this posted now, but I will do some research and see what I can find. In the mean time maybe some other ambitious people out there can begin looking into it as well.
