thanks for sharing with us.

Wow, what an incredible comment from Ms. Clinton. Do you know when it was made and in what context? I had not seen that ad. I prefer more ads that show what the candidate has done vs the ads that show what the opponent has not done.

Either way - that a pretty powerful commercial.

She said that because she was running against Obama.

It was made during the Democratic primaries, when Obama and Hillary were still battling to become the nominee.
I believe the ad's target is Hillary supporters.

I can guarantee that, since neither would be a "wrinkly old white dude."

I can't wait for the Dems to start pulling out all that nasty stuff between WOWD and Romney, should the WOWD pick Romney for his running mate.

LOL But, it could be Lieberman. They could run 2 wrinkly old white dudes.

Biden and Liberman are the same age (both born in 1942) McCain is 6 years older (born in 1936).

Your comment does have a lot of racial undertones to it. Just add the "y" to white.

Yep which is why I found that comment nasty.

The guy is 70 something years old, of course he's wrinkled. He'd be wrinkled whether he had been a POW or not. I'm hoping you were just as offended when purple bandaids were worn mocking Senator Kerry's service at the republican convention 4 years ago.

BTW, the OP was, if I'm not mistaken, quoting the Paris Hilton ad poking fun at both Senators McCain and Obama.

Paris Hilton used the term "white-haired dude".
A big difference

I listened earlier before I posted to make sure. Paris said WHITE-HAIRED dude.
Not white dude. White dude does have racial undertones.
Paris was dealing with MCain's age not race.

I do find it offensive for someone to use the term "white dude" the same way I find it offensive to hear the term "black dude"

She very clearly says at the beginning of the video "wrinkly white haired dude". I thought it was cute and not mean spirited but to each her own. Hoping I don't offend but I'm voting for the skinny black dude with the funny ears.

Forest: After re-reading this thread I think you and I were disagreeing about different things. You were arguing "hair" and I was arguing "wrinkly". My apolgies for misunderstanding your point.

Actually I didn't watch the conventions four years ago but Senator Kerrys service record doe not compare to Senator McCains IMHO.

Hey Forretslayne-can you imagine what would have happened to me on here if I would have said something about an ad for that skinny black dude with the funny ears? All HELL would have broken loose on here!! lol

Oh how fun, maybe this thread can turn into another of the weekly everybody's picking on me shopper soap opera threads.

I wouldn't admit to watching that display of idiocy on the part of the republican party either but the fact of the matter is, it happened. As far as comparing service records, there were thousands of men who had it as bad or worse then Senator McCain. He survived a horrible experience and deserves respect, just as Senator Kerry's service to our country deserved to be respected but wasn't. IMO, neither man was or is qualified to be President based solely on their military experience.

Yep, that's true. However, how many years has McCain been serving our country either in the military and politics vs Obama?

So you base your vote on years of military and political service? If so, you should have voted for
Senator Kerry in the last election.
