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

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.

To boo is really the only way the surfs have to demonstrate against the government. We can't say God, we got to say we love homos, we can't label criminals, we can't have an opinion. So when do the polite people become angry!!! In a more moral time The Clintons would have orange jump suits. Cheap of you. Our poltiticians are not god.

Instead of writing off the cops and firemen who booed Hillary as "populists" (I wonder why you just don't say low class), maybe you should ask yourself why they decided to boo her. I'll give you a hint: cops and firemen that I have met tend to be socially conservative and treat women with more respect than a lot of other men who are a lot higher up on the socio-economic scale.

What was Hillary's reaction after she was booed, to look around and see why she was booed? No, her reaction was to blame the organizer for suggesting the wrong forum for her.

Is this a joke? Hitlery's campaign workers spat on the Honor Guard in Albany, she called 4 unconvicted cops murderers, she would not permit the NYPD to chaperone her during her "Senate" Campaign.

The woman is the most disgusting, despicable and disrespectful creature on Earth. She would spat on us in a minute...Get real watson baby!

The first lady is not an elected official however and so I do not care what her official positions on public policy are.

Watson, are you delusional, she ran the whole show at the Clintoooon White House, she was the Co-President.....Are you working for Hitlery Clintooon? She was responsible for the biggest scandals in political history.

Darlin, you are on the wrong website, try Democrat Underground.

I am thinking about channeling this watsonfellow in the future for an online FR advice column. It will be sort of like Miss Manners but with much more polish. But first I have to tell my butler to dust off my keyboard.

As much as she and her elitist, sissified pals would like to believe that these heroes are just ignorant, mouth-breathing, blue-collar grunts who scrape their knuckles along the ground as they walk into the bar to drink some Schlitz, they're smart and perceptive people. They have to be -- they have had to learn to quickly assess situations and make fast decisions, otherwise they could risk lives.

Bravo, NYC GOP Chick! One of the most cogent, insightful observations I've EVER read!

Perhaps they haven't forgotten how she kneeled at the altar of America's # 1 cop-hater, Al Sharpton.

Perhaps they haven't forgotten how her hubby pardoned the FALN terrorists that they worked hard to bring to justice.

Perhaps they haven't forgotten how just last week the Witchmobile ran through a security checkpoint at the Airport, injuring one of their fellow officers.
