A couple of yahoos interrupted Hillary Clintons speech tonight in Salem by waving big signs and chanting Iron my shirts!
Clinton asked that the lights be turned on, apparently to see them better and declared. Oh the remnants of sexism, alive and well tonight, to applause.
She then talked about breaking glass ceilings, before joking as the pair were hustled out: If theres anybody in the audience who wants to learn to iron his own shirt, we can talk about that.
We followed.to ask what the heck they were thinking.
Nick Gemelli, who is 21, and born at least a decade after iron my shirts was an anti-womens rights slogan, didnt have much of a rationale. I just dont think a woman should be President, he said.
He couldnt really say why, but he agreed that he was a health care voter, as the sticker on his carrying case implied. The Hillary for President sticker was a bit more of a puzzle.
He said he had just been given both and peeled them off. He said he had no connection to any campaign.
At least he got some attention. His friend a la Bart Simpson said his name was Hugh Jas, but The Mouth later learned that his real name is Adolfo Gonzalez Jr.
Update Adolfo apparently has a MySpace page that says he is a Republican who doesnt do drugs or have a girlfriend, and calls himself Captain Fun. He did seem to enjoy himself more than Nick.
[... Why I never! ...]
Ahem. Did you ever consider that may be your problem?
Sea, senior.
And Rush had not risen to the height he reached since. I am not sure of the exact numbers but Rush was only on about 300-400 stations in 1992.
In 1992 there were no Rush clones like Hannity, Savage, Ingrham, Reagan, Hewitt, Medivden, O'Reily, Beck etc etc etc. The Conservative message in Rush's 3 hours are now picked up and magnified by hundreds of echo chambers around the country now. In 1992 very little in the way of local political talk shows out side TV. Now there are thousands of stations that do political talk. In 1992 It was all Rush alone for only 3 hours a day in 1992.
No Fox News in 1992.
What became the Internet was a neat toy a bunch of techie geeks like me were playing with in 1992.
Both Perot and Clinton got away with it because there was no alternative media on them 24-7. In 1996 an improving economy, a tame "News media" and a weak Republican candidate keep Clinton in office. This is the 1st time the Clintons have had to fight a serious campaign under the glare of the Alternative media.
And thanks to 8 years of Bill we are much better prepared for their sleazy tricks this time.
Playing the victim card- surely the Clinton War Machine is capable of better than this?
His myspace page says “I’m hispanic- viva La Raza!” Not a whole lot of republicans in THAT group. The jury’s verdict? Guilty! Of being a democrat plant. And an a$$hole!
Occam’s razor: If you CLAIM to be a Republican after pulling a stunt like this, you are, in all probability, not.
Think about it... If you’re a Republican, and you just did this thing and are being questioned, do you want your party to look like little-kid pranksters?
Well this just proves that those mean Republicans will use any dirty tricks they can. Real imaginative, don’t you think?
Were these the two guys we sent out to “fix” the voting machines? Or were they the guys that we hired to flatten the tires on Hillary’s bus.
Where are those darn voter fraud assignment sheets that all us FReeper’s were given at the secret meeting? I just hate when this happens.
It says they were Republicans so I doubt that.
...and a La Raza supporter. Why didn't they mention the La Raza part?
This guy’s in a few youtubes. I think he’s part of a Boston radio show made up of juvenile Howard Stern wannabes.
Big Bad Sexist Pig Men...
What's next in Hillarrheah's bag of tricks to rally The True Believers?
( Remember, she has no friends- merely Acolytes )
Kabuki Theatre at its finest...
The "narrative" continues, of "The Comeback Kidlette, v2.0..."
NOT GUILTY !!
Tell me ya wouldn’t love to yell at Mrs. Clinton to get ya a beer woman?
Heh heh.
Common guys, here the first good clue:
...... Your Heritage: Latino, Via La Raza !!!
Well perhaps that was also a bad joke.
This is a guy claims he once worked for Kid Kraddick in the morning and has a site called:
.... http://www.adolfovschicken.com/
It might be just the sort of stupid humor he gets into.
nonsense. They were plants.
I remember feminism, and Iron my shirts was never a feminist slogan. It was, however, used by feminists to protest according to Fox.
