Ann Althouse says the new Hillary commercial has a subliminal message: a kid is wearing pajamas that seem to have the letters “NIG” on them.
It’s at :12 here:

This is, of course, exceedingly silly. The only interesting question is whether Big Media will run with it or not. The answer: possibly. Since it hurts Hillary and helps the Messiah, why not?
Once the subliminal craziness starts, my friends, it never stops. I am now receiving e-mails detailing alleged Jewish references as well:
Opening shot: light allegedly resembles Star of David.
:04 — six-pointed stars on the girl’s pajamas.
:19 — design of sheets resembles a tallit or an Israel flag.
A blue and white tinge to the opening scenes supposedly references the blue and white flag of Israel.
Once you go looking for subliminal messages, you’ll see them everywhere. But it’s fun to discuss. And if this issue makes it into the Big Media bloodstream, it’ll be fun to watch Hillary deal with it.
I have a more detailed discussion of the “NIG” controversy at my site here, including an embed of the Bush “RATS” commercial from 2000. And I have a post about the alleged Jewish references here.
| Eric, this is a carefully written post that does not say anything incorrect. I state at the outset that I think the pajamas have the words "good night." But the 3 letters are isolated on the shoulder in a series of otherwise wordless images that are intended to create an intense emotional reaction in the viewer (and to imply that Obama wouldn't be able to get up at night to take a call). I say it is either deliberate or incompetent, and I say it absolutely deliberately and after much careful thought. This post is no accident, but I can see why it disturbs you and you wish it would go away. But consider that a politician is seeking the greatest power in the word and is doing it in this ad by manipulating deep emotions in millions of people. If we aren't to look closely at that with a critical eye, we don't deserve democracy. |  |

The new sheriff of Rock Ridge is a Nih—?
LOL
Nihilist?
One of the funniest movies ever made. If you even wrote the script today, you'd be banned for life from ever working in Hollywood.
Obama also has the word “Hussein” hidden in his name.
That’s funny....you’re a funny guy.
Hillary’s campaign did a good job with regard to the dead policeman. A visible, but low profile appearance at the church, for example, hit the right note, and the campaign reacted quickly and appropriately on the day of the tragedy.
Not aggressive enough to be crass, but managing to get good video out of it and to keep herself in the news. And the fact that it was an hispanic officer didn’t hurt.
Rush suggested Obama parady this, and have Hillary laying there alone wondering where Bill was at 3:00 in the morning.
The only one??? Good Lord, wo/man, get thee to Blockbuster.
God help them if they ever watch “Blazing Saddles”. Their widdle freaudian heads would eggsplode!
Better to vote for the nagger
Even though she be a carpet bagger
If you don't you have to go figure
If you want to go vote for McCain.
Cheers!
Nighty night. Sleep tight.
Then, after Obama wins the nomination, the apple pie will appear at the sheriff's window....
I don’t like it when Mrs. Clinton does it. I don’t like it when Huckabee does it. Not that I was likely to vote for either of the smarmy hucksters.
