Heard about the protest during a news report on WIND-AM, Chicago's new talk radio outlet.
Hillary Clinton is having a fundraiser at Crobar Saturday night. When he was playing for the Chicago Bulls, Crobar was Dennis Rodman's favorite night club. And Crobar is where Hillary's big event will be. But Crobar is just steps away James Levin's old strip club Thee Doll House. More on that later.
But according to WIND, peace activities will be there to protest her somewhat hawk-ish stand on Iraq. And there will be a protest, as I discovered on Chicago Indymedia.
Here's the scoop on Hillary's Crobar bash:

Now some more about Kingsbury Street in Chicago. At 1531 N. Kingsbury, not even a half a block away, is the site of Thee Doll House, a strip club partly owned by James Levin. There is still a strip club there, VIP's, Levin has no part in that club. But just who is James Levin?
From a 2001 NewsMax article:
Million-dollar Clinton Library donor Jim Levin, a former Chicago strip club owner who became Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign finance director last year, allegedly supplied ex-President Clinton with lap dancers at the White House, according to former Clinton money-man, Hollywood producer Peter Paul.Levin has his own problems now. He's agreed to plead guilty to fraud and bribery charges involving a snow plowing contract with Chicago's public schools.
"Jim Levin became a very close friend of the president because he supplied female companionship to him in the White House," Paul told Judicial Watch officials Larry Klayman and Russell Verney, along with California radio host Jane Chastain, during Judicial Watch Radio's Saturday broadcast.
Levin acted as an intermediary between the Clintons and Mr. Paul, who spent $2 million bankrolling a star-studded Hollywood gala fund-raiser for Mrs. Clinton's Senate campaign last August.
The Clinton accuser told Judicial Watch Radio that after Levin's background as a one-time topless club owner was revealed in the press last year, he was told point-blank about Levin's role providing Clinton with women.
"He was introduced at one point to me as 'the lap dancer provider to the president,'" Paul said.
So when Hillary is at Crobar Saturday night, I wonder if she'll reminisce about her old fundraisng pal, James "Thee Doll House" Levin. That is, when she's not dodging anti-war protesters.
Thanks for the post.
Open bar, huh? Some people will do anything for a vote.
Someone could buy up a bunch of "tickets" and give them all to a crowd of Skid Row-types, and let 'em loose at the Crobar. Might be fun.
But just one hour of open bar. Get there early to get your $50 to $200 worth of boozing in.
Let me amend that. We need to get Dennis Rodman to appear, in his finest drag. And get the cameras to not let go. Might impress the good, decent folk of Illinois.
In the words of the great Nelson Muntz: Ha HA!
No, no! Don't have to get them there early. No need.
Just make sure they're good and tanked before they hit the bar. Even if they get turned away at the door, it would make a great little scene on TV. If the Crobar is licensed to hold 500 people, get 500 "tickets". What would $25,000 get you in prime time for an ad these days?
Nelson Muntz- Who is he?
"What would $25,000 get you in prime time for an ad these days?"
Note to self: go to sleep! It's late. And you can no longer do math. It should read, "... $100,000 ".
