Video: What if Adams and Jefferson made attack ads?

Scott Fyall’s video, “Unfit to Lead,” nicely captures the Republican’s fear of creeping monarchy and aristocracy. He argues that Adams is, in fact, a monarchist and questions Adams’ loyalties during the American Revolution. His use of images and cartoons alongside quotes are intended to link Adams to loyalism.

Rusty Cowher’s video “Vote Against Tyranny and Monarchy” continues this theme, though he takes a slightly more positive tone. He aims to challenge Adams’ revolutionary pedigree by linking Jefferson to the Revolution, arguing, in effect, that Thomas Jefferson is a better exemplar of the American Revolution. Rusty uses some nice video effects to convey this sentiment. He also uses some choice quotes from Abigail and John Adams. To read an explanation of his video, click here.
