Should Conservatives Support Rudeness? Why booing Senator Clinton is beneath us.
self

Posted on 10/23/2001 1:51:57 PM PDT by watsonfellow

First of all, to prevent the flamings, I should say that I am a strong conservative, and my number one issue is the life issue and so I am not at all a supporter of the Clintons etc.

That being said, I thought it the height of rudeness for these firemen and policemen to boo and yell at the Senator this weekend. It lacked dignity and class. I thought we conservatives were supposed to stand for such things, or perhaps this is just what we say, but do not practice.

I wonder what Burke et al would have said about this conservative embrace of very questionable manners.

The policemen and firemen should have just done nothing when she appeared on stage, no clapping, no booing, the silence would have expressed the same thing, but in a much more dignified way.

Where is it written that conservatives have to remain silent in the face of evil?

Yes, just because we are polite MOST of the time, we have a right to loudly express our beliefs sometimes.

Hill&Bill smote the memory of those ill-fated fellows first by trying to ride to glory on our fallen brother's broader shoulders. The brothers and sisters in uniform were relieving them of the opportunity.

We feel that the protest to Hill& Bill's blatantly base coup indicates an above-average degree of political savvy, guts, and honesty among the rank and file.

Thpppppt!

Safe bet: most of the people who died at the WTC - most of the ones who were US citizens and New Yorkers - voted for Hillary Clinton last year. Thats just a fact. The concert was to honor their memories and the meatheads in that audience who booed Hillary Clinton were just selfish.

. It lacked dignity and class.

What was the Boston Tea Party? The Stamp Act Riots? We need a little rudeness; we need to take to the streets and start shouting. Remember Bob Michaels, the old polite GOP House warrior? He was polite. He would smile at the opposition, even when they were playing the demagogue.

He got NOTHING done.

Three cheers for rudeness.

That most of the WTC dead were Dems is statistically questionable; and everone knows that greedy republican money-changers run the world from NYNY, right? Are you implying that greedy corporate America's executives are predominantly liberal Dems?

And as for your characterization of the booers as selfish, well, it makes little sense.

In fact, your whole post makes little sense. Private Idaho alert. You seem as vacuous as watsonfellow.

Bill & Hill are slippery criminals. I and my associates are accustomed to providing such with bracelets. The booing was certainly not motivated by selfishness (whatever that means); but rather by frustration at Justice for Some, and loathing of lugubrious political opportunism.

The boos were deserved.

Would you call them that to their faces, pendejo?

Not even meatheads deserve to have Hillary inflicted on them.

Your not very bright, but at least you are cruel...

Sure. Right... Those policemen and firemen have been picking pieces of bodies out of the rubble, placing them in buckets, and hauling them lovingly out of the debris.

Did you know they even found two tiny feet? They say they're too small to have belonged to anything but an unborn child.

Now do you really expect them to have to tolerate some cheesy vote-chasing politico phoney like Hillary - who's trying to capitalize on New York's (and the country's) grief? Come on....

Hillary was there for no other purpose than vote-mongering. The common people, whom she so disdains, saw through her and voiced their dissapproval by the only means available. I hope they got in enough boos to include mine. Unfortunately, they quited down, because she still got to speak. How can you tell if either Clinton is lying -- THEIR LIPS ARE MOVING!!!

she (and Sick Willie) should be thoroughly mocked & verbally flogged in public.

Or even better, taunted mercilessly by an obnoxious frenchman with an outrrageous accent!

but I believe her simply to be misguided and not evil

You are a young child. Wet behind the ears. Time to grow up and face reality, little man.

These petty attacks on a well-educated fellow are quite uncalled for. If we are in a culture war, some of us need to be cultured. That said, I fear Mr. Watsonfellow isn't entirely consistent. Consider this part of his profile:

Evelyn Arthur St.John Waugh is the greatest writer of the century.

I find it odd that one who adores the curmudgeon Waugh would find booing so distasteful. Had he lived until the present time, Waugh himself might have examined the obituaries daily, hoping for notice of Hillary's early demise.
