Great write-up on Mrs. Clinton's book-signing at Wal-Mart -- I love you guys!

"The Wal-Mart parking lot is shaping up to resemble an old-school gang fight. Except instead of knives and chains, the combatants use placards and really weak song parodies. The Hillaryites' tormentors are the Freepers, a fierce, warlike tribe from the Free Republic organization--a fire-breathing conservative band of Internet brothers who often call each other by their screen names, even in person. The gist of the Freeper complaint--one seconded by many mainstream book reviewers who are much less intense than they are--is that Hillary has been paid $8 million to perpetrate a fraud, one of the many tributary frauds being her claim that she didn't know her husband had relations with Monica Lewinsky until he admitted it in August 1998, seven months after the story broke.

The contempt expressed for Hillary is of a nature that even I, who labor in the vineyards of full-time Clinton-bashers, have rarely heard. Like many conservatives, they seem to dislike her more than Bill--presumably because Bill is regarded as a phony, but he at least lives his lies. Hillary, the thinking goes, is living someone else's lies, making her a phony squared. The Freepers take pride in not being full-time activists--"We all have REAL JOBS," says the business card of one of them. Still, they come off as dedicated protest professionals. They save money on placards by writing different messages on the front and back of their signs. And they bring fun costumes, like the guy wearing a full devil suit, who communicates, in his own understated way, that Hillary is the Princess of Darkness.

Dave Fordice, a Freeper mechanical engineer, is conducting a high-volume marriage seminar (What would you do if your husband serially cheated on you?), when he's accosted by a Hillary partisan in a postal service uniform, who goes, well, kind of postal. It's hard to understand her through all the foaming, but she says something about Dave not being God, which all of us--even Dave--know, because God probably wouldn't wear a "Fry Mumia" T-shirt, as Dave does."

Just wanted to stop by from the Coulter forum to say hello, and note a killer article on some guys from your group at a Clinton book-signing at a Fairfax, VA Wal-Mart telling em how it is. If you haven't seen it, check out the link. And by the way, I'm in the Phoenix, AZ area, and would be glad to be notified of anything you all plan to have going on there. It's about time I got involved!

Anyone here is welcome to stop by Ann Coulter's site, and visit us on the forum. I generally have the "MBA" (membership by approval) thing on, so if you plan to post, let me know if you can via EZBoard private messaging who you are, and I'll just approve you. Trolls are definitely a pain over there. Site address is http://www.anncoulter.org .

Again, I laughed for about ten minutes at the article; hopefully I am showing you something you haven't seen yet.

Have a good one everyone and keep on with what you're doing! I hope I did this right, as this is the first time I have posted here, it's confusing as hell, and I did my best, so be easy on me, lol.

Love that description!

Thanks for the invite Herp, Ann is one of our favorite writers here. I'm in Phoenix too, and actually we have quite an active group.

I've pinged dittomom (she's our fearless leader in Phoenix) and maybe she can get some info to you.

Hillary Goes to Wal-Mart

Thanks for thinking of us. This article has already gotten quite a bit of attention here.

[snippy_about_it]

Ping. Great article! Go FReepers!

[CaptHerpPR]

I figured someone would beat me to it. Gotta say this is the only site where it looks like you need to build a webpage every time you post something, lol.

Did my best.

Ann is one of our favorite writers here...

If moose has to resign because he's writing a book, shouldn't the Hillzilla have to to?

[RonDog]

LOL!

ANYBODY who visits here from AnnCoulter.org is O.K. in MY book. :o)

Have you seen THIS image?

[McGavin999]

Now, see, I knew it wouldn't be long before one of you guys posted the obligatory Ann picture on this thread :o)

[CaptHerpPR]

That would be great. My e-mail addy is in my profile, and if she has ICQ my number's in there too. Be looking forward to it. I'm famous on our website over there for never typing Mrs. Clinton's first name. It traumatizes me, lol. I even had it coded as a swear word that came up in &*%^($* for about a year.

[TLBSHOW]

BUMP

[MainFrame65]

Maybe it is selling OK at Walmart with help from the putative author, but "Living History" is having a near-death experience at Sam's Club (Walmart's membership wholesale club) in Memphis. A table just inside the door is stacked with Hillary's tome, priced at $15.87, barely over half its cover price. I bet the publisher is glad that he already sold a record number of copies, don't you know....

[sinclair]

bump for the tag line

[RonDog]

Did my best.

And you done good!

MOST folks here do NOT post with fancy HTML like I do.

And MANY FReepers (apparently) have not yet heard about this WONDERFUL article, so...

THANK YOU, for re-posting it!

P.S. - Please start a new thread here WHENEVER the Blonde One will be appearing ANYWHERE (particularly LIVE, and in person) so that we can show our support...
