Should Conservatives Support Rudeness? Why booing Senator Clinton is beneath us.

Posted on 10/23/2001 1:51:57 PM PDT by watsonfellow

First of all, to prevent the flamings, I should say that I am a strong conservative, and my number one issue is the life issue and so I am not at all a supporter of the Clintons etc.

That being said, I thought it the height of rudeness for these firemen and policemen to boo and yell at the Senator this weekend. It lacked dignity and class. I thought we conservatives were supposed to stand for such things, or perhaps this is just what we say, but do not practice.

I wonder what Burke et al would have said about this conservative embrace of very questionable manners.

The policemen and firemen should have just done nothing when she appeared on stage, no clapping, no booing, the silence would have expressed the same thing, but in a much more dignified way.

Your opinion is noted. Now go kiss the seat of Hillary's crusty black pantsuit.

I seem to recall some of the dems *spitting* on a bunch of Boy Scouts. Hillary is fortunate that nobody tried to even the score in like manner.

That was very funny actually. Cheers.

Actually, since next year I will be teaching in Compton, CA, through Teach for America, Decline and Fall has recently become my favorite Waugh novel.

I find Brideshead Revisted very sad and difficult to get through, although obviously brilliant.

BTW- the haute culturists routinely boo at the opera if the performance is below expectations, why should a rock concert be different?

Whenever they start out with I really am a conservative, you know they really are liars.

Even liars can have a little class.
I don't care about the dude's political affiliations or delusions, but a boor is a boor. And this Watsonwhatsits is a boor.

Of course Richard Gere did bring some pasivists(sp) that sat on the front row. They immediately stood up and really roiled the crowd to a frenzy with their signs, "Give Pants A Chance". But did the snobbish media let you see that or make mention of it in the papers? NOOOO!

Dead, photo please!

Hogwash. Liberals and other traitors to America have been allowed to continue their dastardly deeds for too many years with too little vocal or unified opposition.

These communist creatures should be shouted down and shamed endlessly wherever they appear until they are completely gone from every venue of public discourse, or position of power and influence in this country.

Can't help remembering that the FOP supported Clinton in 96. Course that was the leadership not the rank and file
Still the rank and file should have been up in arms

Wait.
