How the HELL can they get away with using Clinton against Obama in ads?

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

:grr:

Shouldn't that be challenged as violation of campaign laws? Isn't that specifying not only one but two individual candidates without approval?

How the HELL can they get away with that!?!??!!!!

:grr:

DAMN IT!!! I am so sick and TIRED of such abuses,...without reigns!!!

:rant:

****fuck**** x(

1. How could that be against the law?

The quotes they're using were said in public - not privileged conversation.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

10. I could be wrong but,...I thought naming candidates in any ad required approval.

:shrug:

I think such ads should be challenged and those sponsoring should have to spend some money defending them.

That's what I think, for better or worse.

14. Think about it. WE use images of Bush and McCain in OUR ads.

Did we need to get their approval?

[gateley]

15. I don't think there's such a requirement, otherwise we wouldn't be seeing

these ads (or running similar ones ourselves).

Politics. Dirty business.

2. The network that owns them probably gave them permission.

I'm not sure how this stuff works, but it looks as though they aren't using proprietary clips without permission.

3. why should that be illegal

HRC did say those things. Feel free to be angry about that, if needed.

4. i'm not surprised that

they're using her words. they used biden's words too.

[roguevalley]

5. I don't think they can. Remember Macaca? They used that against

whatshisname. Public domain and all. If they made it up, maybe but she said it.

7. george allen is his name.

he was the one the repubs planned on running for prez.

she did say it. i'm waiting for them to run the one where she says "McCain is ready to be commander in chief".

[Bluerthanblue]

6. someone should use the "how do we beat the bitch" "ha, ha, that's

a great question" McCain video to show just the kind of person "McCain" is.


And how much he really respects Hillary-

[galileoreloaded]

8. Google "Fair Use" n/t

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

12. "Fair use"? What about UNFAIR ABUSE?

If these POWER-MONGERS figure they can absolutely abuse ANY notion of honor or truth, they should be the object of what they wage.

Hell, the Republicans have set up a "WAR ROOM" to win power over this nation. What does that say about whether they respect "democracy",...or NOT!!!! That party has become a dictatorship willing to do ANYTHING to retain power and OPPRESS this nation's people,...ANYTHING!!!!

9. this is why we were upset with Hillary while she was losing. We knew her words would come back

but did she stop or reign in her remarks, NO. She said that McSame would do a better job (paraphrased). We all knew when she said this that she was in essence filming ads for McSame.

11. not breaking any laws

if it was we could never use anything McInsane says either.

13. Bingo!
