Hillary Booed at McCartney's Twin Towers Relief Concert

New York Senator Hillary Clinton was roundly booed at former Beatle Paul McCartney's Twin Towers relief concert, held at Manhattan's Madison Square Garden Saturday night.

The embarrassing moment came as Sen. Clinton introduced a short video clip from stand-up comic Jerry Seinfeld.

Though the former first lady has tried to capitalize on the Twin Towers tragedy, thrusting herself before one TV camera after another in an effort to connect with average New Yorkers and advance her 2004 presidential ambitions, McCartney's concert showed the effort still needed more work.

One eyewitness to the scene reported to the website FreeRepublic.com that Clinton "was booed so loudly, she had to yell into the mike to be heard."

Another estimated that "90 percent" of the crowd jeered the former first lady.

Her husband, the former president, who was also present, got a much warmer reception.

It is slowly dawning on even the most knee-jerk political Night of the Living Dead zombie Democrats that the Co-Presidents Bill and Hillary are responsible for horrific neglect of homeland security.

The booing has only begun for these psychopathic rodents, these pitiful lawyer excuses for humanoids.

That despicable disbarred sociopath, his evil wife Hillary, the endlessly vile Janet Reno, and the rest of the DNC vermin emasculated and corrupted the INS, CIA, Department of Justice, and FBI. They also sold all of our nation's nuclear and missle technology to the highest bidder.

Their legacy?

War, economic hardship, death, and the blood of innocents.

New York actually wanted this piece of trash to be their senator because of CELEBRITY status? LOL!!!! SUCKERS!!!! That largely democratic state is doing a lot for the Republican cause. She is the Poster Girl for the DNC. Way to go! With brains like that, stay in that stinking party, you fools. I pity the conservative New Yorkers. They have some real bozos in control of their state.

I wonder if New Yorkers are remembering the pardoning of bomb terrorists and slapping the tops of their heads. LOL. "Oh yeah. I heard that before the election but... but... " BUT the media failed to remind them very much. If a conservative pardoned bomb terrorists, it would be a media fire storm. Everyone would remember. And it's their own fault they have such an agenda-driven media. They have been angry to hear the truth all these years, killing the messenger.

The spin at the time was that the evil police officers gunned down unarmed an innocent black man who didn't know what 'freeze' means because he couldn't speak English. And conservatives defended the police. "We told him to freeze. He reached into his jacket. We fired."

I talked with a couple people from New York who thought that was the ultimate crime. They even called it terrorism. Now New Yorkers' heads are screwed on a little better, at least for a little while. Perhaps if 200 police die each year from terrorists, the police will never be called terrorists. I hope that the word, terrorism, quits getting misused.

Now for Chuckie Cheeze Schumer, aka the Putz Head. That guy sure is friendly with Hillary. He went to the mat for her husband, too. How can he stand to be near these terrorist lovers, huh? He deserves to be called a Putz Head. And every other Clinton-Lover who fails to raise the pardon issue every time he/she/it sees the Terrorist Two.

[spectre]

You're absolutely correct. Another blow for Drudges credibility.

She learned that kind of thinking from her husband. Bill Clinton once said that the key moment of his comeback following the humiliating elections of 94 was the Oklahoma City bombing. What kind of sick #$#% looks at a tragedy like that and thinks about how good it was for him.

I have been looking to find some kind of Hillary image. Nothing since her VH1\Vogue Fashion Awards event.

some pictures to view for those who didn't go or see on the bloob tube!

[Lucky2]

Well said Doc, thanks. These clintons are just opportunists, nothing more. They care nothing for the people of New York or anywhere else. All they want is to get their ugly mugs in front of the cameras so they can look like they care. B.S. all they care about is themselves and I'M SICK OF IT! There, I feel better now.

[Leisler]

Don't gerbils come from Afganistan? It might explain Gere's "position"

[gg188]

I missed. This isn't exaggeration, right? Six protesters show up in Gaysprawl, California, and it's the first story for 8 minutes on Peter Jennings. Thousands boo the smartest woman in the world on freaking national television and it isn't even a blurb except on OUR venues (like NewsMax)?

Gawd, I know this is stating the obvious, but if two hecklers booed President Bush or Newt Gingrich or Rush Limbaugh it would be front-page above the fold in every lamestream media rag in the land.

I would think that RUSH will mention it tomorrow!

[cyberwatcher]

I pity the conservative New Yorkers

I accept and appreciate your pity. Northern NY is all but ignored by her. I am not a member of any special interest group, so I never get an opportunity to so much as ask her a question. Saw her from a distance once though. I recognized her by her hair. By her hair ye shall know her.

[No!]

"Was he only booed by "50 percent" of the crowd?"

He WAS booed pretty much at first, but being the SLICK serpent he is, he said things that you JUST couldn't in decency boo at, and smarmed his way through it...

The SOB IS good... there's no doubt about it.

A Con man's... Con man...

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I hope the nutcases of NY had a switch turn on their brains after that attack. Good grief. If this doesn't cure them, they are hopeless. You should be in a strong position for the next year. I hope that the unelected conservative leaders have their tails in gear up there. While elected officials have to be united, that also shields the liberals.

[No!]

"Does anyone know if she was wearing her famous black suit?"

Of course...

and for that matter, what else!?!

She got BOOOOOOOED...

Right outta there!

I KNOW people were remembering her treasonous behavior at President Bush's speech to the Joint session of Congress...

[Minn54]

The boos for Vixen and Vermin Clinton were well deserved as were those of that has been pathetic pacifist actor/moralist, Richard Gere. The concert was supposed to be a celebration and recognition of New York's bravest and best as well as those who lost their lives on September 11th and the families and friends of those we were gathered to honor. Why taint an event of the talented and the terrific with the inclusion of Bill, Hill and Richard the Rediculous? Hilary looked and sounded like a whiney rhinestone covered toad. No doubt about it, she is a smarmy simpering media whore who will use any occasion for personally profitable face time. As for Billy Jeff, did he not get the memo that he is no longer president??? I am sick of his continued public presence and his feeble attempts to steal some thunder from my beloved George W. It is not working. Last night's audience related to and knew the difference between a current president who is a decisive law and order Commander n Chief and the impeached imposter who stood before them in a pathetic grasping attempt to bask in the glow of perceived crowd adoration. It clearly was not there as indicated by the boos. As for Richard Gere. I believe that he would be singing a different tune about curbing our desire for revenge and making nice nice with Bin Laden and buddies had Gere's wife and new baby been pulverized into oblivion by a WTC tower implosion or burned to a crisp in an airline explosion. Richard Gere needs to rethink his philosophy in regard to our national response to those who have done and would do us harm. There will be no celluloid satisfying Pretty Woman happy ending to this currant crisis. Richard needs to understand that his credentials as a moralist and lecturer were of no interest to last night's crowd and to those of us watching at home. His views would be better served reflectively spent in a cave in Kabul.

You can't boo the horse back into the barn.

How about the pig back into the sty?

[Vinomori]

Sorry it took such a shock to wake New York up. We should have our PsyOps planes drop Barbara Olson's book into Manhattan to finish the conversion to sanity.

Hill: "I don't know what to do for Halloween."

Bill: "Just be yourself, dear."

[maica]

Steve Maulsberg (sp?) on WABC this morning played The Booing and then he played Governor Pataki's fabulously inspirational speech from last night. What a contrast! I think word about The Booing will get around.

[TheGoodDoc]

The Clintons are livid that the bombings gave Bush a chance to show that he is a great leader, and also demonstrated the deadly incompetence of Bill & Hillary. Hillary's carefully crafted plans for a succesful 2004 run against Bush were temporarily set back.

Ths is why she was so disrespectful and enraged as Bush addressed Congress.

Its all about " ME, ME, ME, ME, ME, ME, ME, ME, ME, ME, ME!", she silently screams.

[factmart]

Bill got booed toO, "HOW SWEET IT IS"
