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

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.

I'd feel a LOT better if I could just nuke her.

With due respect to your opinion, these men have been through almost two months of hell and responded to Hillary the same way that most of us have gone through a lesser hell with her and the i42 for eight would love to get the chance to do.

Not all of us are as fond of rolling on our belly as you seem to be.

are you kidding? She shouldn't just be booed - she (and Sick Willie) should be thoroughly mocked & verbally flogged in public.

I don't like being in the position to defend Hillary, but I agree with you. She has been verbally supportive (even very supportive) of W, sincere or not I'm grateful for that.

When you have people like the CLintons that refuse to get a clue, this is the only option and I support it wholeheartedly. I say that witch had better be glad there was no produce in the crowd!

Were you still drinking heavily when President Bush addressed the nation and Hillary did her impression of a 3 year old who has to go to the bathroom?

I'm quite sure that spitting in her face would be rude but hardly inappropriate.

At first blush what you suggest is reasonable. However upon reflection, one must note that Ms. Hillary has isolated herself from contact with the masses. She neither holds herself available for contact or questioning except in very tightly controlled circumstances. She takes the additional step, unique among her Senatorial colleagues, and has retained Secret Service protection. Further, the so-called national press assists her in her "public isolation." It is only at these rare times that a public "dialogue" can take place and in such a manner. In short, to hell with her and her sensitivities.

Yes it is true, they have been through hell.

At the same time, as wrong as her opinions and policies are and as corrupt as she may be, she is NOT Osama Bin Laden, she is not the enemy (although she may be a political opponent).

She is the elected Senator of the People and State of New York and as such must (even though I and many others strongly, strongly, strongly disagree with her) be accorded respect and civility.

We get mad when Liberals are rude to our guys and our people, and so we must not descend to their level.

This is the same hillary who shows support for Al Sharpton a man who has bashed the cops for the last twenty years and she expects not to be booed???? Even at one point making up a story about a woman being raped by one!

If you click on this guy's name, you will find a pompous weenie who tells us that he is "traipsing about Europe presently."

Message to watsonfellow: You have absolutely nothing to say. Zero. So shut your piehole.

In college she edited a newspaper that ran a cartoon ostensibly supporting the murder of police officers, or 'pigs;' since she never apologized, let alone acknowledged that, perhaps they just assumed she still supported the murder of police officers as a legitimate extension of politics.

I'd probably boo that too...

Sorry, but Hellary would have believed that silence showed reverence for her almighty self. What an arrogant hag to think that her appearance would be a delight to those assembled.
