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.

Actually, the tape was played in Denver on Saturday:

I brought my boombox and we played a very special tape sent to us by Doctor Raoul. It is titled "HILLA-PALOZZA 2003, The Book Tour Soundtrack". What a hoot! Everything from "Your Cheatin Heart",and "Stand By Your Man",to "The Bitch Is Back". We waited for Hillary to leave, and her Surburban had to stop at the light right across from us before turning right to leave. I looked over and there was weldgophardlone wearing the Devil mask and holding the sign "Bill Married My Sister"!! The boombox was blaring the song "Evil Woman"!

I Love Freeping!

Wish us luck Kristinn - the San Diego Chapter will be having it first official FReep on Monday, August 4, in La Jolla, where Hitlery will be signing her books.

I talked to the broadly smiling police department Sargeant today. We don't need a permit for a group less than 200. We just cannot block entry or exit to the store. I still have to find out about putting stakes on our signs. SDPD said I needed to contact the Secret Service about the signs.

I'm excited! La Jolla is a very elite area north of San Diego, and I do not expect we will get a very friendly reception. Whatever .. They're going to know we were there.

[kristinn]

Best o' luck to you!

We've never had to consult with the USSS about our signs as local rules prevail. We mainly use lightweight wooden dowels, yardsticks or the like--nothing that could be used to seriously hurt someone, which is what most LEOs are concerned about.

All the power to you, CyberAnt! Look forward to hearing about it after the event. :)

FYI.

I have to meet this Kris Tinn guy. Sounds like a mover and a shaker.

Thanks for that advice Kristin. I'll use that info when I call the SS. Since our group is going to be fairly small, I don't expect we'll have any problems. Besides, YOUR reputation has preceeded us and I expect they will know who we are and how we operate.

Thanks again for the help!

FREEP ON!!!!!

[CyberAnt]

Thanks, we'll do our best!

Crack that whip!

The problem with sticks is that no matter what you tell people, a few end up coming with unnapproved varieties and when confronted with verbally abusive dems, the thought of whacking them on the head can flash through anyones mind (lawsuit time). We've gotten around that by asking people to not bring any sticks and to hold their signs. If sticks show up, they can go back in the car.

Better safe than sorry.

[GRRRRR]

:P:LOL "Kris Tinn" Hoo Haa that's too funny, another error free outing by the Liberal Media....

Freepers ROCK!!

[Ditter]

Don't forget to take pictures. Best of luck with your freep!

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

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Awesome!

Anyone know if the senatrix is coming to South FL?

[Exit148]

Did you mention the cross-country deliveries of the banners and costumes, Kristinn? That devil keeps following her! LOL!

I hope her book thingies go on and on! We are making the papers all over the USA!

Great work, kristinn. I love the musical salute to Mrs. C. She probably hears those tunes in her sleep.

[kristinn]

It used to be you were happy if a reporter spelled your name right. Now I suppose it's enough to hope they get half your name right.
