That ‘1984’ Obama ad was anti-CLINTON, right?

…because let me add my voice to that of Instapundit’s, Riehl World View’s, and Reason’s: this ad from 2008 is fraught with irony in 2010.

Fraught. “Hey! Let’s take the image of someone talking about having a dialogue with the country and calling for the support of the populace AND SMASH HER IN THE FACE WITH A HAMMER! Because that would be different.”

PS: On the bright side, the phrase ‘leader principle’ appears nowhere in this portrayal of American society as a grim, corporatist wasteland requiring violent intervention in order to create a new and superior singular collective identity.

Overtly.
