Hillary Now Leader at MoveOn White House Protest: "Freepers Should be Shot"

Byron York of The National Review had a great article yesterday about the devolution of the MoveOn Katrina Victims protest at the White House.

Dana Milbank of the Washington Post also wrote about MoveOn's troubled demonstration.

However, apparently both these fine observers of the scene had departed when the worst part of the MoveOn protest happened.

As Angelwood and I stood talking and debating with malingering MoveOn protesters, a man standing about twenty or thirty feet away from us was giving an interview with an independent D.C. journalist.

I recognized the man as a long time liberal activist from Florida whom we had first met during the build up to the impeachment of President Clinton.

Then, he was defending Bill Clinton, now he's trying to draft his wife Hillary to run for president herself.

It took a while for the man's name to come to mind. It was Bob...something.

As he was giving the interview, the man became agitated and started speaking in a loud voice. He welled up into a tirade and blurted out, "FReepers should be shot!"

I was looking at him as he said this, as his loud voice was naturally drawing the attention of those within ever-growing earshot as his decibel level grew.

Knowing he was out on the political hustings and has been on TV shows and been quoted many times in the press, I asked him if he had just said that we (Freepers) should be shot . I thought maybe he'd take it back and try to excuse himself for being so worked up.

But no, he responded, "Yes, you should be shot!"

He walked away after that. The police did nothing.

Angelwood and I left soon after. The man's name finally came to me. Bob Kunst, president of Hillary Now.

I suppose he's lucky the TV cameras were long gone by then. But there is an audiotape. There was a microphone right in his face when he yelled out, "Freepers should be shot!"

These Rats are getting more and more off their rockers. Stay safe and get a restraining order. That will put a crimp in his DC protest bit ;-)

[drlevy88]

Hillary should have panties placed upon her head?

OOppps. Forget their latest ''conspiracy'' is Bush created the hurricane to get rid of all the poor black people in N.O., they were all shipped to Houston ''against their will'' thereby now all thats left is Republicans in Louisiana so all the RATS will now be ousted in the next election ,thereby creating another RED state for Bush.........They are dangerous, they're losing their minds!

[Cougar66]

too bad no one stuck a Desert Eagle in this guys face as a reminder of what NOT to say to people.

[OKIEDOC]

Same scary thought here.

I believe if the tone of the rhetoric doesn't come down coming out of the left we will have violence and lots of it.

there are a lot of radical groups associated with the Democrat party.

Doesn't mean these groups have lots of members, just means that many groups are made up of the same membership.

Take for instance when all the FReepers went down to Crawford.

Did anyone happen to notice that most of the Moon Bat crowds cars all had the same stickers.

One in particular said PETA, ACLU, Code Pink, Kerry For President, Sierra Club, MADD and several others.

I would make the claim that there are only a few hard core nut wacko's and they all belong to the same groups making them seem like they represent a larger portion of America.

Freepers Should be Shot"
I am crushed, I thought they were for peace and love.

Wait until this appearance shows up on a campaign video by her opponent, then watch the fun begin.

Shoot, my family and employers think *I* should be shot, as a Freeper.

Yet they incessantly hound me for selective news bits - like the Holloway case - as they respect the power of freep.

[jonrick46]

Bingo! You have described the true face of the leftist fascist pinko. You got a glimpse if you were up early that Easter Morning, April 22, '00 and saw Elian Gonzalez taken by Federal Agents. Because the socialist in Europe don't line them up against the wall now does not say they would not if the United States were out of the picture.

[John Lenin]

All the kooks have seen the anarchy in NO and they might be tempted to do the same thing. Monkey see, monkey do.

[papertyger]

It sounds like "Freepers" are really getting under the slimy skin of these hate-possessed creeps.

Ya know, the pleasure that statement gives me borders on the perverse ;oD
