Protesters Turn Up Volume on Sen. Clinton’s Book Tour (FR Mentioned)

The blaring music that’s now a standard feature at book signings by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) is not part of a new summer marketing campaign.

It’s an “audio protest” by Free Republic, a conservative group, whose members have been showing up with their boom boxes wherever Clinton appears.

“We’re not hassling her,” said Kris Tinn, co-leader of the group’s Washington chapter. “It’s just our way of correcting her version of history.”

Free Republic has put together what it calls the “2003 Hilla-Palooza” tape for local chapters to play outside bookstores, shopping malls or anywhere else Clinton is signing copies of Living History, her bestselling White House memoir.

The latest play dates were last weekend at Clinton appearances in Little Rock and Blytheville, Ark., where people waiting in line got an earful of rock and country classics, including “Evil Woman” by the Electric Light Orchestra, Tammy Wynette’s “Stand by Your Man” and “The Bitch is Back” by Elton John.

Despite the demand, the 12-song tapes are not for sale. “That would be illegal,” said Tinn.

Thanks! I'm planning on having a good time no matter what!

And .. a great lunch in La Jolla afterward isn't bad either!!

Test bump with the new ping list...

If you want off the ping list, please FReepmail me.

Phone call for Mr. Tinn....

Is Mr. Tinn's co-leader ----- Ms. Gel? LOL!

I got a good laugh out of this!!! FReep On!

[tgslTakoma]

Well, your satan masks have been a big hit on the road, and now you've got the HILLA-PALOOZA TOUR tape to FR forum members coast-to-coast for their FReeps. What next, doc?

Hillary has to hate you by now, so watch your back. We need your great ideas!

[tgslTakoma]

Good luck, CyberAnt! You'll have a lot of fun!

I buy 8-foot lengths of lattice strips at Home Depot (for ~$1.25) and have them cut it to 4-foot lengths. The lattice strips are approx. 1-1/2" wide and 1/4" thick. They are thick enough to support your posterboard but thin enough to be non-threatening, IMO; and the Secret Service, US Park Police, DC Police, US Capitol Police, Supreme Court Police, Arlington County Police, Fairfax County Police, and others have never made me or any of the DC Chapter members remove them.

Have a great FReep!

[tgslTakoma]

LOL!

Wicked Witch faces opposition of the Tinnman.

We've never had a problem using the wooden sticks allowed under D.C. law and we've never been sued. Use your best judgment in accordance with your local laws.

Oh yeah? Well, I've gotten some pretty fierce paper cuts from that danged posterboard. The pain! The suffering! Safety corners and padded edges on posterboard should be a federal law...

Some localities can be pretty crazy with their rules, I'm sure.

[tgslTakoma]

Ya know... I think I still have a homemade tinman costume in the attic from one of the kids' Halloween jaunts. But it'd only fit a really short, skinny FReeper...

I also inherited a really cool 4' Swiss Army Knife costume that a neighbor of my sister made one year. It even had a corkscrew attachment. My son wore it to school one Halloween. They didn't send him home for being a weapon, either.

Thanks for the ping!

[CARepubGal]

Have fun you lucky folks! :-) I am jealous and wonder if the Beast planned this for a workday. Please please post pix.

[Angelwood]

I'm sure you'll have a great time freeping Hillary and I will look forward to the after-action report and photos. FReep On!

Is there some way we could work out the copyright stuff and somehow through some FREEPER'S HELP offer it for sale--not per se from FR to avoid voilating the need to avoid selling anything--but somehow???

I think it'd be worth it to spread the word A LOT--music IS POWERFUL. We could even title the CD . . .

TRUE SONGS VS SHRILLERY'S LYING HISTORY

or some such.

I think we really should do this ASAP in behalf of 2004 and keeping her out of the White House.

[Quix]

Besides,

along with the CD's, we could use the money from the sales for handing out our own deck of cards with Shrillery's most serious traitorous and criminal acts on them.

[Quix]

I wonder,

could someone well connected contact some of BOB HOPE'S joke writers and get some volunteer jokes written to pass out at such FREEPS.

Biting humor would REALLLLLLLY GO A LONG WAY TO NEUTRALIZING her unroyal lowness--her hideous heinous's poison and clout.

HUMOR IS THE BEST STRATEGY. MUSIC THE 2ND BEST.

BOTH ARE POWERFUL.

[Quix]

CONGRATS. WISH I COULD JOIN YOU.

BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO WINDOW SHOP!

[Quix]

WISDOM SPEAKING, FOR SURE.

I wonder if some long fat balloons could be used to hold the signs?

[Quix]

WE NEED ONE FOR SHRILLERY ANTOINETTE DE MARX DE FOSTERIZER DE SADE

that'd be that potent, punchy. . . .

STEP AWAY FROM THE ALARMING LIE DETECTOR AND COME OUT WITH YOUR LIPS SEALED SHUT!

STEP AWAY FROM FOSTER'S BLEEDING BODY AND COME OUT WITH YOUR BLOODY HANDS UP!

PUT THE FBI FILES DOWN AND COME OUT WITH A SIGNED CONFESSION FOR YOUR MURDERS, OTHER FELONIES AND TREASONS!

STOP CURSING YOUR GUARDS WHO LAY THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE FOR YOU!

BAN SHRILLERY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE!
NO MORE DILLDOES AND BONGS ON WH CHRISTMAS TREES!

BAN SHRILLERY FROM THE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE!
SHE'S COMMITTED ENOUGH TREASON WITH INSIDER CLOUT!

SERVICE BILLDO YOURSELF FOR ALL WE CARE!
JUST DON'T DO *ANY*THING ANYWHERE CLOSE
TO THE WHITE HOUSE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
