CHELSEA CLINTON was among a group of American students which disrupted an anti-war meeting in Oxford, it was revealed last night. Frustrated at anti-American feeling, the daughter of the former President arrived at the 500-strong meeting in Oxford Town Hall with a dozen friends who heckled speakers. Miss Clinton, a postgraduate student in international relations at University College, Oxford, her fathers alma mater, has confessed that she is feeling isolated and threatened by the mood she has detected at the university. She found it difficult encountering anti-American feeling from peace demonstrators. As soon as last Thursdays meeting, organised by the Oxford Stop the War Coalition, began, members of her mostly American group shouted patriotic slogans from the back. Speakers were prevented from continuing after other young Americans approached them and unfurled a Stars and Stripes flag. Chris Harman, editor of the Socialist Worker, said: When the group turned up I thought, oh no, were going to have some rugby-type fracas, but luckily it was nothing like that. The flag-bearers were eventually sent back to their seats by a 76-year-old American woman called Barbara, an Oxford resident. Katy Beinart, a student CND member who spoke at the meeting, said that Miss Clinton had arrived making a lot of noise. When John Haylett, editor of the Morning Star, began to argue that the media had failed to consider the effects of the bombing on Afghan civilians, Miss Clinton and her friends called out that he should remember the victims of the terrorist attacks on New York. Mr Haylett responded that such meetings were the only way to put an alternative viewpoint to that portrayed in the media. Miss Clinton left with her Secret Service bodyguards shortly afterwards, stopping to buy a copy of the Morning Star from a vendor, and making yet more noise, according to Ms Beinart. It was a shame that Chelsea Clinton felt the need to interrupt a peaceful discussion with what I felt were inappropriate comments, she said. Speakers at the meeting, including the MP Jeremy Corbyn, said yesterday that Miss Clinton took their comments too personally.
I believe Chelsea calls her protectors 'trained pigs'.
The day after hitlery was booed off stage for her cold, calculating, anti-American actions (not speaking of police being spit upon at one of her events, and not apologizing to a security guard when a van she was riding in hit him while ignoring his orders, plus many others, I'm sure) we got to hear thru a Paris paper that she had no aspirations for the 'presidency'. This typical crap is called deflection. And no one does it better than bill and hill who have cultivated friends in the media willing to cover for them time after time.
Bingo! Hat's off to you, madam! If the little left-wing shitlette is annoyed at bin Laden, it's only because she doesn't want her Daddy to be upstaged by an amateur anti-American scumbag.
What you said, with a HUGE if.
Can someone tell me why x42 has an ear of corn in his hand?
Who cares?
It would be very hard for me to believed that she wasn't QUITE humiliated by her dad over the last few years, to the point of resentment.
I remember when she came out of the voting booth during the presidential election and said to the press "I feel like a porn star."
I wondered then, and I wonder even more now, if that was a "jab" at Bill; as his jaw dropped and his eyes bugged out of his head.
I understand where you're coming from, but remember the parable of 'The Prodigal Son' -- 'I rejoice because my son that was lost is saved'. Those of us who have known the truth should welcome those who have discovered it -- not begrudge them their revelation which has made them 'born-again' patriots.
Unlikely, the poor thing has no real home.
You didn't hear about Bill Clinton's speech where he blamed everything on America? He thought those people deserved to be killed because at one time there was slavery and poor treatment of Indians. Chelsea doesn't really seem to be of the same mind as her parents. Hillary's people are saying the firemen aren't real heroes because they booed her, but I don't see Chelsea jumping onto her parents' bandwagon.
They probably encouraged her to do this. It is a good move politically. Chelsea wants to be president some day. This is a lot like Al Gore going to Viet Nam. Good cover for years down the road when folks accuse Chelsea of being a pinko.
