No concern about separation of church and state here in Chicago.

This is BS. During both her Senate campaigns and her book tour, Hillary treated the press like crap.

It WILL happen again and the media will take it because they are co-dependent.

“People’s Rally”?

Interesting that she uses the same type of terminology as the ChiComs.

I like the comment >>> “Clinton gave us some marching orders and told us here are some things you can say when people ask you why you are supporting Hillary and not some other candidate.”

Traci Otey Blount, a spokeswoman for the Hillary Clinton campaign, moved swiftly to douse the fire storm caused when media were locked out of a meeting billed as a “People’s Rally.”

A gaggle of cameramen and reporters were forced to stand in chilly temperatures for three hours across the street, while a predominantly black crowd of about 450 Clinton supporters gathered inside.

“It was a misunderstanding on the Clinton campaign’s part,” Blount said Thursday. “We discussed whether it was to be a closed event or an open event. We were talking with everybody. We didn’t finalize if it was closed or open. With all the support that we have in Chicago, it was definitely something we wanted to showcase. We take full responsibility.”

Think Mr. and Mrs. Susan Sarandon will go public and condemn this "chill wind that is blowing"?

“But none of those people were there for the purpose of endorsing Sen. Clinton. The meeting was not designed or organized in that fashion with that intent or objective,” Grant said.

And

“The event was basically for former President Bill Clinton and was for all of Hillary’s delegates and supporters,” said the Rev. James L. Demus, pastor of Park Manor Christian Church, who is no longer on the fence about whom he is supporting.

“Clinton gave us some marching orders and told us here are some things you can say when people ask you why you are supporting Hillary and not some other candidate.

Gee .. seems to me that they can't seem to get their story straight

Definite BS ... may a tape leak to the media and they be unable to hide it any longer. “Marching orders” indeed.

Yes, I caught that. Also the next paragraph is pretty priceless:

“I would characterize it as getting marching orders from one of the highest leaders in the campaign,” Demus said. “I’m a fan of [Sen. Barack] Obama — like him going on ‘Saturday Night Live’ with a mask on — but when it comes to who I feel is the best qualified from Day One to lead this country, with hands down it is Hillary Clinton.”

So, hillary clinton is EVEN BETTER than Barack Obama on Saturday Night Live with a mask on! It's good to know what qualities these guys want in a president.

The Clintons don’t make those kind of mistakes on the campaign trail. If the reporters WANT to believe they froze their rears off via a novice dog catcher election kind of mistake.... they might want to first consider just how many campaign events the Clintons have under their collective belts.

Hillary and Bubba simply did not want national coverage of the pandering statements they were going to put foward to that largely black audience. Much like they now realize that sending Hillary’s Wellesly gender-war message across the nation in the blogoshere and some media was very unhelpful to Hillary.

Get used to it, Mary honey. In Hill World you are just another tool and you will speak when told to speak. This criticism of Her Highness does not bode well for your future.

They were using Red for Democrat victories when Bill Clinton was originally elected President. The media changed the colors but some didn’t institute the change and didn’t want to regenerate all of their maps.

The fact that we NOW know victories as “Red” or “Blue” indicates that the color change was a deliberate thing. But Red is always the color of Communist revolutionaries.

They want to pretend to be “true blue” Americans.
