PUBLIC RELATIONS DEBACLE AFTER SEN. HILLARY JEERED AND BOOED BY HEROES
After reading the above article on the Drudge Report - I saw that he had posted an email from one of his readers.
...excerpts from the email:
...the smell of vomit was prevalent in the halls.
After all, free speech is only acceptable for those who hate this country.
Don't forget the odor of that black pantsuit, wafting through the crowd...now that is a "barf alert"
Honor guard harassed at Arena
Albany -- Police unit was spit at and called names as they carried flags at Democratic convention
Members of the Albany Police Department Honor Guard were harassed and spit on by a few people as they carried flags into Tuesday's Democratic state convention at Pepsi Arena, officials said.
"This was probably a very small minority in a sea of legitimate Democratic Party members,'' said Albany Police Chief John C. Nielsen. "It's probably going to send the wrong message about what was in fact an overwhelmingly peaceful, law-abiding and respectful group.''
President Bill Clinton attended the ceremony as state Democrats unanimously nominated Hillary Rodham Clinton as their U.S. Senate candidate.
The five-member honor guard, which is made up of Albany police officers, told authorities that some people in the crowd of 11,500 Democratic supporters called them "Nazis'' and "members of (New York City Mayor Rudolph) Giuliani's 'Third Reich.' ''
The harassment took place as the officers entered the arena around 5:45 p.m. in front of the Albany Police Department Pipes & Bags band.
The honor guard were in full-dress uniform and carrying the American flag, said Detective Thomas McGraw, president of the Albany Police Officers Union.
"We are very upset,'' McGraw said. "The honor guard were asked to act as ambassadors to the city of Albany. They were invited guests and they were volunteering their time.''
The incidents allegedly took place on the floor of the arena, where only delegates carrying passes were allowed access, officials said.
Mayor Jerry Jennings blasted those responsible.
"I'd love to identify these individuals,'' Jennings said. "It's unfortunate there are people who don't know how to act. It's behavior I find reprehensible.''
And these bozos wonder why the blue collar, protect-and-serve working man hates Hitlery? They need to walk a mile in his shoes, preferable through a gauntlet of elitist, fascist pigs like them...JFK
The supposedly venerable Mr. Bumpers asked the now fatal question: How much more harm can he do?
We are starting -- just starting -- to find out.
With her personality type, I am sure she has been disliked since she was a child by the majority of people who have had contact with her.
Years ago, she probably stopped wondering why people despise her and started a campaign to become, Queen!
AMERICA: A TRIBUTE TO HEROES concert in New York City.
"How could we not know this would be the wrong forum for Hillary?!" shouted one confidante. "These are cops and firemen who listen to right-wing talkradio. They still think she killed Vince Foster, for Christ sake!"
This should be Drudge's response to the email;
Dear Mr. James Carville;
I can see you're upset by the way Hillary Clinton was treated at the Concert for New York. May I suggest that you take the advice of the famous man and "put some ice on it".
After huddling with her handlers, and maybe a Carville call, they figured they'd throw a note to Drudge claiming to be a "reader".
And of course the letter would trash the cops and firefighters.
This is Classic Clinton!

Right!
At least Hillary got out of the room with her pantyhose intact.
I agree.
