    • AAK15, on 03/09/2008, -6/+1Well your a fag

  • dotlizard, on 03/09/2008, -7/+60oh, sweet irony. i hope to see her doing some Obama ads soon.

    also, hope she was well paid for the rights to the stock footage. man, there sure is a downside to that, isn't there?
    • Turbojugend27, on 03/09/2008, -29/+3*yawn* Digg wake me up when this borefest ends.

      Obama is worse, you guys are all lemmings.
    • Dr00pieS, on 03/09/2008, -6/+0That's too funny. She is really pulling out all the stops. Menopause is really screwing her up.
    • deanlowe, on 03/09/2008, -8/+2Sure, a 17 year old blonde is going to put Obama in the white house.
    • ahoyhoy1, on 03/09/2008, -7/+4She's got a nice ass.....on her chin.
    • Caleb83, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1yeah, the same mistake the beatles made. so when you're making porn videos, make sure you own the rights to the video, and not the other party.
    • suebee88, on 03/11/2008, -0/+0If she does, i hope she donates the money to Obama's campaign!
  • andrewsp88, on 03/09/2008, -28/+3id do her.
  • kalleanka, on 03/09/2008, -26/+3You would do who?
    Hillary or the girl in the ad?
  • nobody7, on 03/09/2008, -17/+6capeesh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg8NUWZPUIk
    add me up as a fan
    • actorboy, on 03/09/2008, -1/+1No.
    • Sassmo, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3The vocals sucked but it's a good idea. Work on it and get back to me.
    • IllBeBack, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3Yeah, it was a little pitchy for me dawg.
  • clarionhaze, on 03/09/2008, -7/+118Clinton's win in Texas?
    Obama won Texas.
    • jcpendexter, on 03/09/2008, -16/+5Technically Hillary won. Look it up. I see why there is so much confusion tho.
      • KSUdesigner, on 03/09/2008, -5/+9She won the popular vote, but he won more delegates, so technically he won since delegates are what matter at this point.
        • pilot3033, on 03/09/2008, -1/+8he won the popular vote too
        • AAK15, on 03/09/2008, -0/+10Since when did the popular vote matter?
        • deanlowe, on 03/09/2008, -0/+5It only counts when one's own candidate is ahead.
    • cheriejae, on 03/09/2008, -0/+0What about the Texas Caucus where Obama will win!. By the way why did they quit counting?
  • jstohler, on 03/09/2008, -15/+55This already made the home page today. Digg me down, but it's true.
    • peestandingup, on 03/09/2008, -1/+11There's been a lot of duplicates lately.
      • iofthestorm, on 03/09/2008, -3/+5Especially Obama stuff. Really starting to ***** me off, because crap like this only annoys people more and might make them not support Obama. Reddit's full of it too.
        • fmaxwell, on 03/09/2008, -3/+5Maybe the Obama campaign people could ask Digg to stop torpedoing his chances by running duplicates of positive news stories about him.

          But what were you thinking when you saw the headline and clicked on the story anyway? I mean, if you already had seen that news, whether here, on ABC News, on CNN.com, or elsewhere, why did you click on the link?
        • artliquide, on 03/09/2008, -1/+12Man, how fickle are US voters that we'd choose not to vote for a candidate just because of duplicate submissions on Digg? That's ridiculous.
    • fmaxwell, on 03/09/2008, -4/+5Isn't it ironic that a single duplicate story on the homepage can result in countless practically identical comments complaining about it?
      • PrincessSalami, on 03/09/2008, -1/+2shouldn't there be a flag for dupes so that a mod can delete stories?
        • fmaxwell, on 03/09/2008, -1/+3I'm kind of against that. You could always choose to bury the story, but is it really fair to delete stories, and all of the commentary and discussion, just because the same news was reported earlier?

          I'd rather lose the "inaccurate" flag for any political stories, since that flag is abused so much.
        • Tiak, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3I take it you've never clicked the "Bury" button?... (There is one, it is called "Duplicate Story").
    • Ozymandias42, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2There's been a lot of duplicates lately.
    • DEIx15x8, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1It's pro Obama, expect to see it several more times.
    • rawheadrex, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2Well, one problem is this. I'm certainly not addicted to Digg like some here, but I do check it fairly often. I'd say at least twice daily. And yet, I did not notice the earlier story. Might have to do with the number of digs it had when I saw it, might have to do with the title that was given, might have to do with the specific timing that the two articles made front page.

      One thing for certain is, there's something wrong with the SYSTEM, not the Diggers, when you have dupes like this that make front page and receive 4 digit diggs.
      • Netrilix, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1Personally I have no problem with the Digg system. From my end, why should I care who submitted a story first, and whose got Dugg more and made it to the front page? As long as I see the story at some point, I'm happy.
    • Pentalaimon, on 03/09/2008, -1/+2There's been a lot of duplicates lately.
  • ChaosProfessor, on 03/09/2008, -17/+6is she hot?
    • fmaxwell, on 03/09/2008, -0/+10What are we? Your seeing eye perverts?
  • hooraybeer, on 03/09/2008, -5/+23support is spelled wrong
    • Higgles, on 03/09/2008, -0/+5Haha. Didn't even notice... Darn internet speak!
    • Kakemonster, on 03/09/2008, -1/+2You got a limited amount of words that you can put in a title so he probably shortened it down where it would be least noticable.
  • sonofabeast, on 03/09/2008, -26/+6How ***** scared of Hillary are you people? Any Obama related item becomes popular. It's ridiculous. I think he is obviously the lesser of three evils but I'm beginning to hope she wins just to spite you. His wife is on the board of the CFR for *****'s sake. If that's a change you can believe in, I feel sorry for you gullible fools. Wait, no I don't.
    • Jenadae, on 03/09/2008, -4/+8Personally, I'm scared ***** of Hillary. The way she reacts to things, the way she approaches things, and the way she conducts herself are horrid in comparison of what I'd expect to be a leader of ANY nation.
      • FATEorFORTUNE, on 03/09/2008, -5/+4that's a bit vague, no? how about supporting your band wagon claims, moron.
      • jcpendexter, on 03/09/2008, -3/+2I agree. She PMS-es like mad.
    • fmaxwell, on 03/09/2008, -1/+11The CFR? The Council of Foreign Relations -- the non-partisan think tank formed in 1921?

      OH MY GOD! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! Barak Obama's Wife is a member of a respected think tank that issues advisory statements on foreign policy! Hurry, while you still can get out! Get to the airport and book a flight out of the country.
    • artliquide, on 03/09/2008, -4/+4I'm not scared of her. I'd gladly open a can of whoopass in her presence. However, she is a fake opportunist who will stoop to immeasurable levels of depravity to get the supreme title of queen bee of the US. Her cheesy tactics are so obvious to me, I can't understand why she still has so many supporters. That, and I like Obama's voting and legislative records and his policies more than Hillary's.
  • Accolade1, on 03/09/2008, -5/+27Dupe..

    Time to repeat my comment from the original article:

    "Can you smell what Barack is cooking?"
    • IllBeBack, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2Paul Barack Franks?
      /Lord I'm sorry about that.
  • sagat, on 03/09/2008, -3/+6Deja-vu or dupe?
  • ericdano, on 03/09/2008, -5/+10Can't spell? Then you get buried.........
  • StealthyMong, on 03/09/2008, -11/+7I love the Jon Stewart show it comes on right before the Stephen Colbert show....
  • jaaanesaid, on 03/09/2008, -10/+17that's crazy how they show the original footage was taken in a cheery bright room, but the clinton campaign darkened it to make it scary...
    • bxblox, on 03/09/2008, -1/+28Crazy how I would conclude that they darkened it to make look like..... oh i dunno...... 3 AM!
    • Caleb83, on 03/09/2008, -1/+1what if it's 3 am on the west coast? that's 6 am on the east coast, it could be dawn. And I wonder if there's potential for a good "she stays up at night waiting by the phone" joke here.
  • HonestAbe, on 03/09/2008, -3/+2Repeat.
  • aphexcoil, on 03/09/2008, -12/+5I know I'll get dugg down for this reaction but I can't help myself ... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Jovensdesciple, on 03/09/2008, -1/+8ill digg you down for being a dumbass
    • jcpendexter, on 03/09/2008, -3/+2Dugg you up because you expected to be dugg down. :)
    • mithrasinvictus, on 03/09/2008, -2/+2i dug you down because you said you expected me to.
  • FATEorFORTUNE, on 03/09/2008, -19/+13that was then, this is now. she's a child actor who probably knows as little about politics as most of the obamaphiles on digg
    • fmaxwell, on 03/09/2008, -6/+4The Obama supporters know more about politics than you do.
    • historicity, on 03/09/2008, -3/+7I love how you use your vast political knowledge to support your comment.
      • fmaxwell, on 03/09/2008, -3/+2And who are you to imply that he knows anything more than what he wrote? I'm assuming he does not.
    • artliquide, on 03/09/2008, -0/+4I couldn't wait to turn 18 to be able to vote.
  • joshuajonah, on 03/09/2008, -16/+1DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE
    DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE
    DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE DUPE
    • jeexbit, on 03/09/2008, -0/+6So let me get this straight, you're saying DUPE?
  • tehrich, on 03/09/2008, -10/+21Has no one else looked at this submitters user name and history? Seems more like a spammer than a real user. No comments and nothing but articles about Obama for a whole year. I can understand favoring something, but this is ridiculous.
    • limpidezza, on 03/09/2008, -3/+18Seriously, who is this 46 year old male from Chicago? I mean, look at his "About" section, it's almost as if this is the official digg user for the obama campaign...
    • viserov, on 03/09/2008, -4/+14Maybe because it's the Obama campaign's official Digg account...
    • tehrich, on 03/09/2008, -7/+8Would that not still constitute spam? I thought Digg was about users choosing what they like as a community, not promoting yourself.
    • faraggi, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2thanks for pointing that out.
      I'm a Obama supporter, but i don't like spam being rub in my face without me knowing. that's why I've got adblock.
  • pjpark, on 03/09/2008, -4/+34All sleeping children are Obama supporters.
  • Jovensdesciple, on 03/09/2008, -6/+1I was told that some time ago there was a man named stephen who brought the world together like no other person named stephen has done on a saturday such as ... and no way!!! a child was used by a democratic canidate???
  • aimhelix, on 03/09/2008, -2/+14Hahaha... that's what you get for going GettyImages. Shoot your own footage of people that LIKE you next time.
    • fmaxwell, on 03/09/2008, -1/+12If she wants photos of young girls who are Clinton fans, couldn't she just sneak into Bills bedroom with a camcorder some night?
    • DEIx15x8, on 03/09/2008, -1/+1and you think Obama doesn't?
  • JulyZerg, on 03/09/2008, -5/+4That's irony for you...
  • androo002345, on 03/09/2008, -4/+7I support Obama but 1) This is a dupe-a-saurus rex, and 2) It's lame. Buried, sorry.
    • halfdirt, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2Totally uninteresting and irrelevant. It was stock footage. It could have been any candidate's ad, and the child could have grown up to support any candidate. Shameful for a TV news station to even consider this story.
  • brstilson, on 03/09/2008, -8/+4Sorry, but......HOW is this an attack ad?

    The way I remember attack ads is that they'd at least.....oh I don't know.....MENTION THE OPPONENT.
    • LBobRife, on 03/09/2008, -1/+4You're not well versed with basic critical thinking, are you?
    • DEIx15x8, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1It's not an attack ad.
    • Pherdnut, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1You guys are right. The ad could have been about any of the other 0 democrat candidates Hillary was facing.
  • l800LEMMINGS, on 03/09/2008, -5/+2if she doesn't like hillary clinton why would she vote for her if obama loses
    • catachip, on 03/09/2008, -1/+5What, your going to all of a sudden support the candidate who wants to continue the war and favors tax cuts for the rich? You support the nominee of your party. Right now, they're choosing a nominee. After that, you would tend to support whoever is nominated. You don't just sit at home on general election day and pout.
    • artliquide, on 03/09/2008, -1/+3Who else should she vote for, as a democrat?
    • DEIx15x8, on 03/09/2008, -1/+1This is America and she can vote for either party! She can pick McCain over Clinton (the ultimate race).
  • camiloteram, on 03/09/2008, -6/+1She's cute?
    • benzau, on 03/09/2008, -1/+1Like i said before...she can answer my phonecall at 3am ;)
  • dddavid, on 03/09/2008, -2/+0too funny!
    • dddavid, on 03/09/2008, -0/+0wow, there must still be at least 2 Hillary supporters out there to digg this down. I thought they had all come to their senses by now. Oh well, just goes to show, there's one born every minute.
  • Jamihabs, on 03/09/2008, -12/+5This is yet another example of why liberals are too stupid to be trusted with power.

    It doesn’t matter what this girl’s political affiliation is. Do you think Senator Clinton was trying to send the message that she would be ready at 3:00 AM to protect only her supporters? Obviously not. She is trying to claim she would be ready to protect all Americans. If you can make an argument that she is wrong about that, fine. If you have to stoop to the level of trying to discredit Senator Clinton’s claim by pointing out this girls political leanings, then maybe her point has some validity.
    • Ender008, on 03/09/2008, -2/+5Not only did you miss the point of this article, but you're also an ignorant *****.
  • surfacewound, on 03/09/2008, -5/+7Buried for "suports"
    • tbunreal, on 03/09/2008, -3/+3SO if there was an article "Asteroyd Heading for Earth, Death inevitable" you'll digg it down? Stop being a douche.
    • halfdirt, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1This, however, is not important news. It isn't even news. It is totally arbitrary.
  • NathanCH, on 03/09/2008, -2/+1lol@Satalite control
  • Lyph5, on 03/09/2008, -7/+6You guys can tell that this "news story" is a counter-ad by Obama, right? Tons of companies do this, record a PR release in the form of a news broadcast and submit it to the big networks who run it as news instead of the advertisement it is.
    Honestly, I expected more from Digg.
    • mrASSMAN, on 03/09/2008, -1/+3Big news networks? This is a local news channel. KONG TV. You're making a major assumption there.
  • Jamihabs, on 03/09/2008, -7/+6Which term do you liberals prefer more for stories like this, Ospama or Spamboma?
  • gotacalc, on 03/09/2008, -3/+2Clinton uses Getty Images?
  • econofast, on 03/09/2008, -5/+4If I was ten, I'd vote for... (insert run of the mill party line ***** candidate here)... too!
  • petrodollar, on 03/09/2008, -2/+9Funny than a tv station with the call letters KONG has so many asian reporters.
  • AAK15, on 03/09/2008, -9/+1Hillary would be too busy MENSTRUATING at 3 am to deal with anything
    • harDharHar, on 03/09/2008, -1/+1all women suddenly start MENSTRUATING at 3 am. I learned about that in intelligent design.
      • Ozymandias42, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3Come to think of it, I would argue that the cramping, bleeding, and pain that women experience every single month is a pretty good argument against intelligent design. That or hiccups.
  • Kronk42583, on 03/09/2008, -6/+5what a non story that is. who cares about some dumb girl in the middle of nowhere.
  • rutvik1, on 03/09/2008, -5/+2I think Hillary just pwned herself! haha :)
  • mikesown, on 03/09/2008, -3/+5Uh seriously, what is the big deal? The girl made stock footage of herself sleeping, which someone happened to use. Even though she may not agree with the use of the footage, she relinquished control of it to Getty images. Plus, it's not like the ad is insinuating that the girl supports Clinton; the footage is merely used as visual filler.
    • DEIx15x8, on 03/09/2008, -1/+3Exactly. Boo hoo I got paid money to make videos and now someone is using one. That's what happens when you sign your image away forever. In twenty years it could get used again.
    • mrtumnus, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1it's not a big deal...it's just ironic
  • turdblossom1, on 03/09/2008, -7/+1please america, dont vote for that crazy ho! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEOjttmqIrc
  • nardo510, on 03/09/2008, -5/+2its all about Barack Obama!! I would do an add for him free any day.
  • YodaJones, on 03/09/2008, -8/+3It's 3 am and Hillary should be home ironing my shirt bitch.
  • Spoomeister, on 03/09/2008, -6/+1Why isn't there an Obama ad with this young woman, like, yesterday?
  • Jovensdesciple, on 03/09/2008, -4/+0Obama is a family guy, Obama is a man who, positively can do, all the things that make us, laugh and cry!
    • Coyote47, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3Personally i'm not looking forward to a president who will make me cry
  • Canne00, on 03/09/2008, -3/+0Irony at its finest... I wonder how Clinton's party will answer this...
  • DEIx15x8, on 03/09/2008, -3/+3Suports? What is wrong with this world. No wonder people are falling for Obama. This country needs a better education system fast.
  • Scheissen, on 03/09/2008, -2/+2Old, dupe, spam. She can't even vote so who gives a *****. It's called capitalism bitch.
