    "1984" Political Ad

    The media have given much attention to this as an "anti- Hillary" ad.

    Am I the only one who doesn't see the point of this ad as anti Hillary? Or, more exactly, having anything to do with Hillary?

    I have read "1984" and well remember the brilliant Apple ad dissing all those brain-washed DOS users. But what does this political ad, evoking a Big Brother government that derives its legitimacy and power from a constant state of war and total surveillance of its citizens, have to do with Hillary's political career from Arkasas Governor First Lady to White House First Lady to New York Senator?

    Wrong candidate, wrong party, wrong election cycle.
