Prevent freedom of speech?

[2banana]

This sounds more like "1984" or LBJ every day...

[widowithfoursons]

Did they need a forklift to carry her off?

[Enterprise]

It is my considered opinion that the best way to prevent Hildeb!tch from getting booed is to keep her ugly face and her rhinorump off the stage in the FIRST PLACE!

[Alberta's Child]

I've got a couple of questions here:

1. Why was Steve Malzberg hosting an event like this in the first place?

2. If "media objectivity" was not an issue here (since he was hosting the event in the first place), then why didn't he just leave the stage instead of introducing Hillary Clinton?

Malzberg just dropped about a dozen notches on my respect meter with this one.

After her speech PBA delegates carried Mrs. Clinton off the stage in a symbolic demonstration of a "rescue lift."

Four of the delegates were lated admitted to New York Hospital with suspected hernias. Three others are being treated for exposure to toxic substance that has not yet been identified. Medical personnel are analyzing a black, shiny and extremely odiferous residue found on the victims. Initial analysis indicates it contains 80% polyester, 19% dacron and a smattering of encrusted, fermented bodily fluids.

Plenty of hernia surgeries on the horizon.

[TomGuy]

boos were still audible

Oh, now, those weren't boos, they were wooos...you know, cheers of sort. Don't believe me???? Wait until the VH1 Video Release of this event and you'll see!

VH1 can do wonders with videos and their audio.

Ohmygawd...........tell me this was a joke. Please. Even if it wasn't.

[Paul Atreides]

Did you know that Rodham is an anagram for Mad hor?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

GMTA, LOL.

[11B3]

So why is it that the PBA officials have become official Ankle apologists? The rank and file should have booed the hell out of her.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

I wonder why they didn't applaud when she was hauled off stage.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I thought New Yorkers loved the beast?

[Johnny Gage]

Answer #1:
Malzberg said even he didn't know he'd be introducing the New York Senator until his own radio station reported she was invited to the event Thursday morning

[Elkiejg]

I heard on Don Imus MSNBC show this morning that she was "roundly booed". They started to play the tape and Imus screamed to shut it off - he hates her!!

Mrs. Clinton was straped into the rescue strecher which then had weights attached to it before the rank and file members then heaved it into the East River.

[Alberta's Child]

That wasn't my question. He didn't know he was going to be introducing her, but he knew days or weeks in advance that he'd be hosting this rally.

I don't have a problem with a media-type hosting a political rally. I just have a problem when that same person hides his b@lls under the bed and refuses to make a political "statement" when an opportunity arises.

[Irene Adler]

"After her speech PBA delegates carried Mrs. Clinton off the stage in a symbolic demonstration of a "rescue lift."

Did they really do this? Put her on a stretcher and carry her off? Or carry her off some other way not using a stretcher? I absolutely can't imagine this. It reads like a joke or sarcastic comment. How bizarre.

Malzberg, a staunch Clinton critic himself, did his best not exacerbate the crowd's already simmering disdain for the 2004 presidential hopeful

I thought she wasn't running.
