In early August, 4 DC Chapter members FReeped her outside the DC Hilton and were about 10 to 15 feet from her, but the windows were tinted and we were not sure she was in the car. We held our position for about 5 to 10 minutes as my camcorder battery was dying in ready mode.
Then when I started to replace the battery, Hillary darted into the hotel from the opposite side of the car like a pant-suited thief in the night as we peacably and loudly expressed our disapproval.
That's at least twice in 3 months that she was unable to avoid seeing FReepers protesting her up close and personal.
It's OK to make fun of a poor person if you believe the poor person is a Republican/conservative.
Just goes to prove that they do not care about people, they just care about votes they can harvest from victim groups they alledge to help. As soon as a member of those victim groups don't vote the way they like, their interest in "helping" is zero.
And to keep the victims voting Democrat, the victims will be kept as victims.
Of course, we know this is just the beginning of Hillary's campaign.

"There’s a devil across the street," one man said to Clinton, gesturing toward the cutout of Bush.
"Yeah, he follows me around," Clinton replied. "It must be a full- time job, I guess."
Book wait ‘worth every minute’ (Barf Alert)

Mary Vaughn has unusual plans for her signed copy of U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s “Living History.”
She’s going to wrap it in a waterproof bag and put it on her mother’s grave.
“My mother was my hero, and she loved and adored Hillary Clinton,” Vaughn said while waiting in line for Monday’s book signing at The Happy Bookseller. “She thought Hillary was Princess Diana and Eleanor Roosevelt rolled into one.”
Clinton signed more than 800 books Monday afternoon before heading to Furman University for a political forum.
Vaughn brought a five-page letter asking Clinton to be the spokesperson for bladder cancer, the disease that took her mother’s life.
Vaughn’s ticket numbers were 206 and 207, so she had something of a wait. As the line moved quickly forward, she agonized over what to say to the senator.
But she didn’t go to quite the lengths of the first five women in line, a group calling themselves The Fabulous Five.
“We slept in the parking lot,” said Frankie Singley Middleton, who bought the first of about 500 tickets available at 6:45 a.m. Saturday morning. “We had doughnuts and newspapers — it was a wonderful time.”
“This is better than a concert,” said her new parking-lot friend, Michelle Sprinkle.
At the end of the line — behind several hundred people of all colors, ages, and genders — was JoAnn Schmidt. She didn’t have a ticket, but hoped Clinton would sign a book for her anyway.
“I’m a big fan. I’ve loved her from Day One, followed her, had fights about her, lost friends,” Schmidt said.
Across the parking lot, a Republican group set up a voter-registration table. Behind it was a life-size cutout of President Bush.
A rock-star cheer erupted in line when Clinton arrived at 2:30 in one of several black, darkly tinted government vehicles.
About 20 minutes later, the senator sat down at the signing table inside the store. The line snaked around the back of the building along Forest Drive.“Hello, ma’am,” she said, extending her hand to one of The Happy Bookseller’s staff members. “Hillary Clinton. Nice to meet you.”
Clinton took a moment with each book holder to answer questions and receive compliments and hugs. After 10 minutes, she had the first of several lipstick prints on her cheeks.
“Are you on a fixed income?” she asked one woman who inquired about the state of Medicare.
She asked book buyers about their jobs and hometowns, fielding questions like, "Where’s Bill?"
"I left him at home," she laughed.
"There’s a devil across the street," one man said to Clinton, gesturing toward the cutout of Bush.
"Yeah, he follows me around," Clinton replied. "It must be a full-time job, I guess..."

This may be the best 'bit O'News' I have read all day!
Thanks Freeping Freepers for Hillary's reality check as well.
"Yeah, he follows me around," Clinton replied. "It must be a full-time job, I guess..."
Can she really think it's the same person?
Or maybe she is talking about somebody she sees that we can't!
When she said "There's my Devil," was there a car on the other side of you?
When she said "There's my Devil," was there a car on the other side of you?No, we were standing on the sidewalk with a parking lot behind us. Her SUV pulled out from across the 4 lane street. They crossed all 4 lanes as they turned to our right and passed directly in front of us. I'd guess she was maybe 8-10 feet from us as she passed [shudder!].
Thanks for the kind words.
As for cost reimbursements, my guess is that the bookstores cover some and probably the state democrat organizations kick in too. Next book tour will likely be the sink meister himself. This should keep them in the news through the '04 election. Sheesh...what a pair. BTW I noticed on ebay, there's plenty of unread copies available. Those folks standing in lines and getting her signature are not necessarily admirers. The signed copies are going for $75 to $225 per copy on ebay! Almost makes me want one of those unsold tickets.....JUST KIDDING...JUST KIDDING!
Great job guys!
