Hillary Booed by "perhaps eight to 12 people" out of over 3000 at Take Back America Conference

[wyldwolf]

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was the featured breakfast speaker this morning at the Take Back America convention that has drawn what organizers say is more than 3,000 liberal activists to the nation’s capital.

Last year the news from the Take Back America convention was the booing and jeering the New York senator received from the audience.

How big was the disgruntled group?

“I think it was about four people,’’ Rob Kall, publisher of OpEdNews.com said this morning. “I was in the front row and they were about four rows behind me. That brief incident by people not representative of the audience was used hundreds of times to attack her.’’

Kall noted that he’s not even a supporter of Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Isabelle Kanz of Peconic, on Long Island’s North Fork, estimates the jeers came from perhaps eight to 12 people.

Her assessment is the same as Kall’s. She’s convinced the media blew the incident out of proportion.

Stephen Kohler of Elizabethtown, Pa. noted, “She certainly stirs emotions, whether it’s good or bad. I think it’s mostly good this year. She has matured as a candidate.’’

1. And your point is? Most people actually love her. Got it. nt

[SaveElmer]

2. You mean the story was distorted in order to attack Hillary?

C'mon...certainly such a thing is not possible!!!

:sarcasm:

[wyldwolf]

4. yep

[The Count]

3. Big deal. Some freepers booed her after getting funds for the NYC firefighters

at the post 9.11 fundraising bash...They went on to brag about it at the Free Republic.
This a story, why? How many would boo W - if allowed in his earshot?

[wyldwolf]

10. the point is "some" people are trying to say there was a lot of boos...but there really wasn't.

[The Count]

18. Non-story either way. Opposite sides will do that at political events (unless

kept at a safe distance by secret service). It has no meaning. No candidate in the word is without opposition. 12, 100 - it's the nature of politics.

[Captain Hilts]

13. Some boo'ed her at the big McCartney benefit. Evidently, Bubba pitched a fit backstage. nt

[The Count]

22. "Bubba" was right. It was a benefit for the firefighters, freepers booed (and bragged

about it on the free republic). It was totally uncalled for - due to the nature of the benefit and the fact that it was Hillary wringing some help out the scrooges in the White House - instead of Pataki, Rudi. Shame on you for celebrating this one!
I am not a Hillary supporter by a long shot, but to join freepers in the bash is a bit low.

[corkhead]

5. and there was only a couple hundred supporters at Kerry's 2004 rallies...

[The Count]

29. While W's bused crowds were as large as the Earth itself....

Same writers, same talking points.

[jefferson_dem]

6. Nice spin. Move along...move along...nothing to see here.

Truth is, she made her choice in March 2003, when she dissed Code Pink and those encouraging sensibility and caution before leading us to war. They are simply holding her accountable for that choice ...

[wyldwolf]

8. LOL! This hurts, doesn't it? After the initial report of "a chorus of boos," we see the truth...

...from Progressives, no doubt. There was at least 4 but as little as 12 people booing in a crowd of over 3000.

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. No it was more like 50

Still not a majority in the crowd. But far from 8 to 12.

[wyldwolf]

23. I think I believe the confirmed Hillary hate, Kall, over you.

[liberal N proud]

7. It is enough for the MSM to proclaim the world hates Hillary

[The Count]

30. Yup. You got it. 10 people are "the world" if against a Democrat. Millions are

to be ignored, if against Bush. Go figure!

[wyldwolf]

9. damn! ANOTHER Hillary smear bites the dust!

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. BULLSHIT!!!

I was there. It was more like 50. God damn media liars.

[wyldwolf]

12. Rob Kall of Oped News is a media liar?

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. In this situation, yes

[wyldwolf]

15. LOL!

Ok. :)

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. Now I am wondering if this is the media person who was shushing the booers

Some guy with a media tag around his neck was trying to shut up anyone who talked while Hillary was speaking and he went nuts when she was booed.

[jefferson_dem]

16. Thanks. Hillary and her followers (media lap dogs and otherwise) will throw the

truth and anyone/thing else under the bus in order to prop her up. Disgusting, really.

[Tellurian]

25. yeah, if the Renegade had disrupters in the audience..

they'd be removed in a heartbeat...you know, for Safety reasons! :puke:

[Tellurian]

19. Having disrupter's in the audience..

is also a common Republican dirty trick. No need to put up with that nonsense.

Move em' on out and send the disrupter's down the street a mile and a half away to a protest area..

If this nonsense is getting started this early, start the screening process and nip them in the bud.
You never know when some nutball is planted in the audience along with them..Not worth taking any chances.

Knowing Republithink, it's too coincidental with the warm reception of the novel video, they needed their usual spoiler!

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. The disrupters were mainly Code Pinkers

and they are not Republicans. :rofl:

[Tellurian]

28. Why because of a pink ribbon showing somewhere...?

usual reaction from the uninformed never living with an JFK, RFK, aftermath- :crazy:

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. Because Hillary supports the war

[Tellurian]

36. Hillary is trying like the rest of the Dems to get the Troops home..

in case the protesters haven't noticed...So, wheres the gripe?

[proud2BlibKansan]

40. Oh good grief

Look at her voting record and tell me she wants the troops to come home. Could have fooled me!

[Tellurian]

43. You can read @ post #41

theres more she's done in support of the Troops.

I've just posted a few highlights.

[proud2BlibKansan]

44. She voted to send them over there in the first place

She voted to continue funding their deaths.

3500+ of our troops. 750,000 innocent Iraqis.

How is allowing them to die supporting them? :wtf:

If she really did support them, she would support bringing them home.

[Tellurian]

45. having trouble finding #41?

She voted to continue funding their deaths.

Actually, not. In the last vote, she voted AGAINST Funding the war because the proposed resolution lacked a time line for bringing the Troops home. So, your accusations are way off base and seriously lacking merit.

[proud2BlibKansan]

53. That is ONE vote

out of many that were FOR the war.

[Captain Hilts]

38. No, she doesn't. And she's said she wants the troops out by Jan 08. nt

[Tellurian]

41. So, tell me.. (not you MW..)

Just what in the world do people think Hillary can do to get the Troops home any sooner, than the rest of the Dems- ?

Sen Clinton has been working on this for over 2 yrs with other Dems:

[Totally Committed]

20. Booing is booing.

In today's world, you see something you don't like or can't support, and you "boo". I agree it's rude, but it is a statement, nonetheless.

TC

[The Count]

27. And, unlike any such statement against say, the Bushes, it gets carried away, amplified

and given meanings beyond its original one.

[Totally Committed]

37. I actually agree with you on this.

This is being amplified beyond it's aoriginal meaning.

But I still say that booing is not what any politician wants to hear from a crowd, no matter how few and no matter why.

I celebrate each and every time a member of the Bush regime is booed -- anywhere, any time, and for any reason. It's rude, then, too, but it is a statement.

TC

[Tellurian]

31. Not in today's world. Hillary has already had a death threat from one nutball..

protesters can protest outside a venue... and act up all they want...

Kick the SOB's OUT!

[proud2BlibKansan]

42. "A" death threat??

I know peace activists who are relatively unknown nationwide (unlike Hillary) and they have received multiple death threats. The rw has that death threat tactic down. I am willing to bet Hillary gets a death threat once a week at least.

[Tellurian]

47. Yes, presidential candidates are susceptible to death threats..

I don't have a source to verify your claim of once a week, but that sounds a little large, if you ask me. Secret Service takes each and every death threat seriously and investigates them all. Peace activists fall into a similar category, where instigators can infiltrate their camps causing violence resulting in chaos and damage to the cause. But that is the whole point of the infiltrators anyway, isn't it?.. And why, I suggested having them removed from the audience immediately, the minute they becomes disruptive.

[proud2BlibKansan]

52. So do you think that Cindy Sheehan would get MORE death threats than Hillary?

[illinoisprogressive]

26. boos and stony silence is not exactly a rousing reception

[proud2BlibKansan]

33. In all honesty, there was a lot of enthusiasm in the crowd

Hillary packed the room with her supporters. As soon as she was done, they introduced Kucinich and the Hillary groupies left.

[ShortnFiery]

39. "As soon as she was done, they introduced Kucinich and the Hillary groupies left."

Come to think of it, I do get a sort of creepy "cult like" chill up and down my spine when I'm confronting the "HRC's nomination is inevitable, OR ELSE YOU'RE SCUM!" type Crowd here at DU.

Thanks, that explains a lot. :hi:

[jefferson_dem]

46. Creepy odd vibe. Kind of like the pod people from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"...

[Tellurian]

50. Haven't you posted your Hillary smear 'du jour', yet? ...slacker!

[jefferson_dem]

51. LOL! The podpeople speak. ...

:hi:

Focus. I think you may have me confused with the sundry other DUers who don't support Hillary, as i'm not into "smearing" candidates.

EDIT: Or maybe you're projecting a bit...suggesting other Democratic candidates are akin to savages and pillagers and all...

[rinsd]

49. So you saw plenty of living breathing Hillary supporters....

...contrary to claims by some on DU that they don't exist ;-)

[Bitwit1234]

34. Did Obama bring ALL his supporters

those 12 must feel real American and democratic by now...booing a fellow democrat....did Hillary get some of her group to boo Obama or Edwards or Richardson. No...she has more class.

[Tellurian]

35. As things get warmed up, more care has to be taken with Security

of the candidates. Theres always the chance...well, you know.. I don't want to go through that ever again!

[wyldwolf]

54. good post

[wyldwolf]

48. kick

[Tejanocrat]

55. HRC needs to get out a bumper sticker: "Hillary -- Booed by Fewer Democrats Than You Thought"

[wyldwolf]

56. how about one for "progressives" that reads "boobirds for hire."

[assclown_bush]

57. Just more of the anti-Hillary cr*p the msm wants us to believe. k/r

Thanks for posting that, wyldwolf.
