Hillary And Her Daughter Heckled During WV Speech....

Sub-thread removed by moderator. Click here to review the message board rules.

The true "ELITE" in this country need to start really
understanding, at a gut level, that *WE THE PEOPLE*
have had enough. And feeding us more bullshit isn't
going to carry the day any more.

For years, we've complained here about Bush "living in
a bubble". But so do our candidates, especially the one
who simply refuses to accept that she's lost the race.
So maybe the message needs to be driven home to her at
every campaign stop, at every speech in every hamlet
and town.

Mrs. Clinton endured boos when she mentioned her proposal for a gasoline tax holiday, catcalls when she spoke of ending the Iraq war and, most difficult of all, the heckling of her daughter, Chelsea, who introduced her.

“End the dynasty!” a young man holding an Obama poster shouted when Chelsea Clinton stepped to the microphone.

All the while, a smile was fixed on Mrs. Clinton’s perfectly made-up face — not a hair was out of place — and she betrayed only an occasional glimmer of recognition of the exceedingly narrow straits she must now navigate.

At one point in her 19-minute remarks, Mrs. Clinton promised that the United States would have universal health care “if I’m president,” a deviation from her customary “when I’m president.” She said she was proud of her two-point victory in Indiana on Tuesday, but made no mention of her 14-point loss in North Carolina. Nor did she speak the name of her rival, Senator Barack Obama, or even refer to him as “my opponent,” as she ordinarily does.

Her remarks on the steps of 19th-century McMurran Hall on the main street of town were an abridged cut-and-paste job of her standard stump speech. It was not her most fluid effort. While discussing incentives for education and public service, she took a sharp detour into trade policy and vowed to get tough with oil-producing nations before circling back to preschool programs. But the modestly sized audience applauded at the appropriate times and, except for an unusually large and at times vocal contingent of Obama supporters in the crowd, the appearance went off without incident.

Her events aren't pre screened. They are free and open to the public and don't require tickets, unlike Obama events which did require tickets.

about invitation only town halls (one claimed as a thank you to the volunteers, local supporters), and loyalty oaths. :shrug:

Which were for crowd control and no other purpose. When I was called about a Clinton Oregon event, I was asked to go online and register too. Exactly the same. I have no idea how their townhalls are organized.

BTW, I am sorry for your disappointment.

at the door for security purposes but we did not need any tickets.

We lined up 2 hours ahead of the time the doors opened and we got in and had great seats.

By the time it started, every seat was taken and at least 500 people filled the floor.

No screening or tickets needed for either. They do choose the signs for you though.

That's one of the few pockets were Obama will actually be competitive.

There is no prescreening at a Hillary event. Show me where that's happened. I've been to one; friends of mine have been to others. The only prescreening that was done was the security check by the Secret Service.

young teen that was made fun of years ago? I feel sorry for the child, not the woman.

of any of them. Unless they decide to run for President and start wars.

as it isn't personal. Her politics are open season. As for the twins, they are supposed to rep the country and when they fall down drunk, they are open for criticism.

Everybody seemed to feel that they waded into the campaign, that opened them up to questions and campaign heckling.

Do you remember that?

:eyes:

for the regional track meet. JHS ran better than Hillary has.

Is it possible that this could end up on youtube?

Amid Talk of the End and Boos From the Crowd, Clinton Carries On
By JOHN M. BRODER

SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s greatest gift may be her ability to remain upright and smiling as chaos and chagrin surround her.

On what was probably one of the toughest days of her campaign so far, with pundits and analysts of all stripes declaring her presidential candidacy finished, Mrs. Clinton put on her battle face Wednesday and confronted what was at times a hostile crowd at a hastily arranged speech here at Shepherd University.

Shepherdstown, a quaint and hippieish town on the Potomac River in the West Virginia Panhandle, is where Robert E. Lee led his Confederate Army in retreat after the battle of Antietam, the single bloodiest day of the Civil War.

Mrs. Clinton endured boos when she mentioned her proposal for a gasoline tax holiday, catcalls when she spoke of ending the Iraq war and, most difficult of all, the heckling of her daughter, Chelsea, who introduced her.

that the rudeness and hatred we see online is happening in the 'real world' and that's pretty scary. Keep your crazy behavior on the internet, we don't want it in real life.

This is exactly why I am having a hard time seeing anything good about your candidate. If this is the 'change' he's bringing out in people, I'm scared for us.

maybe this WONT be her state after all.

she is not my candidate, but she doesn't deserve to be treated so rudely. I wonder. though if she'll get the message?

:eyes:

I think there behavior was terrible. And there actions reflect the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I think Obama and his campaign represent. I don't want such rude characters to be apart of OUR OBAMA NATION.

Especially booing Chelsea. That's just obnoxious.

She's fair game as is her dad since she's campaigning for Hillary. (not that I think booing anyone is a good thing. I don't. but I don't see why booing Chelsea is any worse than booing Hillary or Bill.)

She would research where she was going.

:eyes:

She has over-stayed her welcome in this race. I hope this experience plays a hand in getting this through to her. I for one don't feel sorry for her one bit, not after all the crap she put us through. This was over a long time ago.

If she would get off the stage already, there wouldn't be a need to let her know that she is HISTORY!

this is america and if you run, you have to take it as it comes.

and should not be at all surprised by such a reaction. I think she has hurt the party both with her campaign and not admitting defeat although the numbers prove it.

Hopefully once she bows out, people who are not particularly smitten with her will avoid her public appearances and she will not have to face such behavior.

Hillary is a power-hungry delusional pain-in-the-ass.

J

in an effort to show that she remained committed to campaigning in the remaining six contests on the Democratic primary calendar (West Virginia holds its primary on Tuesday).

When the phone rings at 3 a.m. time to stop what you're doing.

I wouldn't have brought it up if she hadn't run those ads here in Texas. She played the FEAR Card here and I for one didn't appreciate it one bit. To imply that Obama wouldn't know what to do when the "RED" phone rings @ 3 a.m. was very Undemocratic to me.

So, when I read that in the article it struck a nerve, I guess and I had to bring it up.

"But the modestly sized audience applauded at the appropriate times and, except for an unusually large and at times vocal contingent of Obama supporters in the crowd, the appearance went off without incident."

Be so cool if Obama got an upset in West Virginia 'cause there was a massive Cosmic Change in the Consciouness.

Obama will probably win that area, Morgantown, Charleston, Huntington. The problem is the part of the state where there area no black people and most people are already living off of SSI or disability . They already have income and medical coverage so they can vote their prejudices.

This is not true: Areas ..."most people are already living off of SSI or diability. They already have income and medical coverage."

People in WV are dirt poor. A huge proportion of the state does not have health insurance in any form. SSI/disability is not keeping up with inflation. Because the wages are so low in WV, the amount that people can collect in SSI/disability is also very low-- much lower than any other part of the country. Life expectancy is lower in WV than in the rest of the country. You are talking about people living in rural junkyards with 3 nonworking cars in the front yard... Take a drive down Route 220 and you know what I mean.

WV is dependent on having affordable gas. There is no meaningful public transportation in the state. People are getting to the point that they can not fill their tank to look for work.

People will vote their prejudices because they have lost faith in the system to make a difference in their lives. Nothing meaningful has happened for those folks except the pork barrel projects that Byrd has sent in has helped people in that neck of the woods.


The sad thing is that people will vote for McCain because he will manipulate their prejudices. It will be a tragedy in WV if McCain is elected.

The Eastern Panhandle is essentially a DC suburb at this point.

  Time to go back to the mansion, Senator Clinton. Turn on the plasma and catch up on LOST. Better yet, go back and fucking re-read Kyl-Lieberman you worthless sack of warmongering shit.

PB

the article suggests, then her staying in, may not be too damaging, but rather promote "democratic" issues in general. We'll see

:9

Politicians are happy to receive the applause. They must from time to time have to deal with displeasure.

She was not attacked. She was booed. That isn't heckling. It's free expression. Too bad.

Than Clinton, and the hatred extends to her family.

Broad brush, maybe? Please don't forget, Hillary supporters can give as good as they get. Do you really want Barack Obama hecked, or does his security not allow anyone near?

Is that some kind of threat? :rofl:

Please check his profile.

Thank you.

in the voting booths?

no longer with us, not an Obama supporter.

Don't hate Hillary. I've come to distrust her and her husband (NOT Chelsea, in fact I find it refreshing that she's turned out as well as she has). I did and do, however, really like Socks.

You'll fit right in with the Obama zealots here, but you'd fit in equally good over at freerepublic.com, sharing in their Hillary-hate.

If you are going to use your child to campaign for you, than she needs to face the music. There are no free rides.

Again, I am not condoning, but if you put your kid on the stump you also must accept the occasional dipshit.

it serves no one, including the heckler/s imo.

Don't like the candidate, don't go, it seems simple to me.

she will continue like the ever-ready bunny.. She just keeps going and going and going....

That would explain the sour attitude.

So much for "new" politics.

(They even "heckled" Obama during his speech.)

she needs to be publicly shamed

she needs to learn that she cannot control the media nor the minds of the people. she looks like a jackass and needs to stop her insanity.

call it an intervention. just get her to some help. and do it quick.

Now she's just helping McCain with an assist from Rush "Pills" Limpballs brain dead knuckle draggers.

We the majority of democrat voters know it and we are sick and tired of Hillary's deception and her cultists delusions!

Expect more boo-birds Hillary.

Then pies.

Then garbage.:evilgrin:

It was a bunch of Obama thugs crashing a Hillary event to boo her. Real class. Keep your kool aid.

Anyone with a keyboard can say they are an Obama supporter. Keep your head about ya! Don't take it personal. We're mostly just good folk.

is that she is changing her language to conditional. not "when" but "if" she won the presidency. I agree that college students can be obnoxious sometimes. they should not do this to her. it has been an intense campaign and I hope this sort of thing will stop immediately.

as to their effect on many of us who have and still do support this great lady. It's shit like this in all it's forms, and we see so much of it on this forum, that makes me wonder if I even could vote for Obama in Nov. As it stands, I can't see it happening.

I wonder how many in that crowd supporting Hillary began to ponder the same thing.

Don't blame the candidates for the lousy behavior of a few idiots.

I may not vote (for prez - Dem straight ticket otherwise. I may vote thrid party.

I have a hard time putting what I've seen to be an empty suit in the White House at the behest of some of the most vile and rude people I've ever seen.

and her self-righteous supporters?

Here, can I give you a lift up to that pedestal that you've built WAY ABOVE us "common folk?" :eyes:

Only so many times that you can say it before people catch on. Also, Hillary is making a HORRIBLE strategic move with her MI & FL strategy. It is NOT wise to talk about seating FL and MI delegates when you're campaigning on the stump. The people in WV could care less about MI and FL. They want to know about the economy, foreign policy, health care, jobs, etc. Expect to be heckled when people spend an hour waiting to hear you address their issues and you instead focus on not disenfranchising FL and MI.

Regardless of whom you're supporting, behavior like that is just classless.

I typed it up quick.... I didn't mean to offend you!

to martyrize Barack into asking her to be his VP? He'd better tread carefully if he even remotely considers doing this. I for one don't want another "Dick Cheney" -type hatchet man or woman as Vice, and who needs the sturm und drang that seems to follow the Clintons like an irritating cloud?

Show us your good judgment Sen. Obama.

Throwing insults and heckles at people who don't believe what they do is what they live for. :puke:

Stunts such as this will only backfire. There's no way to rationalize this as an acceptable campaign tactic.

is a "typical" Obama supporter. But, as they say, anything for a story....

Rejection of family-based politics is perfectly consistant with the American political tradition.
It's as American as Camelot.

The longer she drags this out, the less popular she will be.
