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

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.

For eight long years we had to put up with the Clintons' arrogrance, mendacity, and malfeasance. Being booed by a crowd is the very LEAST they deserve.

It wasn't beneath the firemen and policemen who didn't want that whore to make the event into an HRC rally.

"Bullsh*t!" is an emotional response, but it's often a very accurate observation.

I think calling firemen and cops rude lacks dignity and class.

The you should have just done nothing when policemen and firemen made their feeling known, no clapping, no booing, no starting stupid threads, the silence would have expressed the same thing, but in a much more dignified way.
