Hmmm .. I wonder what the record is for the longest Book Tour?
Hillary Degeneres Clinton
Nothing was mentioned in the excerpt and I did not want to register on the paper's web site.
From my DC-area location, I tried to get FL FReepers (see two below threads) to peaceably demonstrate against her.
When I pinged FL FReepers to the threads, one FL FReeper FReep mailed me as follows (I'll keep his/her name out of it): Why am I getting a message from you? I did not sign up for it. This is the same as spam.
(I FReep mailed that I would not ping that FReeper again with info about FL events or interest.)
Another FReeper indicated that it was wrong for Christians to take political action (i.e., demonstrate against Hillary) during Advent. (Of course, my posts had NOT mentioned religion as I would have encouraged all FReepers regardless of their faith to FReep Hillary.)
It was also argued that demonstrating against Hillary would elevate her profile, whereas we could just ignore it.
Well, I don't know if anyone demonstrated against her, but the media will play up her book signings regardless.
FReepers had a chance to get in a contrary message to the love and worship that the media put forward.
Hillary's book signings are stealth or test-run Presidential campaigns.
Hillary Clinton coming to Books & Books [FReep Hillary, South Florida]
Yes! She swoops into town gets free press coverage, holds fund raisers and moves on to the next one. She was expected to pick up $1 million on just one event in Florida.
