Hillary Clinton's "Shame on you, Barack Obama!" outburst at the weekend has not only become a popular video on YouTube but, inevitably, spawned a mashup. Because of YouTube, people are now empowered to express themselves politically in a forum where the most intelligent voices will be seen and heard worldwide by millions. Pushed forward by figures such as
Rx (who I have posted about a
few times before), the political mashup has increasingly become one of the most vital and persuasive forms of political commentary.
Below I have posted a few videos featuring arguably the most potent source of mashup material, Hillary Rodham Clinton. In addition to the "Shame on you!" video, I have posted
Slate's now-classic melding of Clinton and
Election's Tracey Flick, and my personal favorite, which mixes two of the most recognizable YouTube moments of 2008 to great effect.
