Parade-goers in Scranton Adore Hillary: "Girls Screamed like when the Beatles Arrived"

A crowd that organizers said was the largest in the parade’s 47-year history jammed downtown streets to greet Sen. Hillary Clinton, who returned to Scranton Saturday for the second time in five days, again to adoration.

“Hillary, Hillary, Hillary,” the people who filled downtown sidewalks frequently chanted.

As Mrs. Clinton walked, dozens of people constantly rushed ahead on adjacent sidewalks to get as close to her as possible. Girls screamed like when the Beatles arrived in the United States.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said parade day coordinator James “Bambi” Coyle, who’s been involved with parade planning for 20 years.

“You can’t believe the support you have here,” one woman yelled. “I love you,” Tara Meredick, 34, of Taylor, shouted before snapping Mrs. Clinton’s picture as the candidate paused. “I love you, too,” Mrs. Clinton replied.

“Mom, I just shook Hillary Clinton’s hand,” one girl shouted.

Words fail me!

So that is why NE PA never really recovered from the crash of coal

And now you know the rest of the story.

Did anyone faint?

[Nick Thimmesch]

Bubba must be jealous!

[KarlInOhio]

Gag! How many of the screamers are paid plants to try to get the same buzz as St. Barack gets from the press. I expect trained fainters to show up any minute. Maybe someone could even have a full blow seizure in a Hillary frenzy.

and Heather Mills thought she would win in court.

From what I’ve seen the Scranton women can relate to Hillary. Something about a double wide and cankles that just make them seem so familiar with her.

As the Sheeple of PA follow their dark lord.

[Dahoser]

So we're back to the adoring crowds for Her Heinous stories. Didn't have too many of them when people were fainting for Obama.

The MSM don't care which RAT gets in so long as it's a RAT in the White House.

[LottieDah]

What does a “rent-a-mob” go for these days? Did Hillary’s “screaming fans” get free lunch and free transportation to the parade?

[boomop1]

Fools in a charade of victory, going down the tubes without a clue.

Wow it brings back memories of my own wonderful time at a Hillary parade. Hard to believe that was eight years ago, before she had been elected to anything.

“Mom, I just shook Hillary Clinton’s hand,” one girl shouted.

"Don't worry, honey," her mom replied. "I've got some Lysol wipes with me and a bottle of bleach in the car."

[mtbopfuyn]

Ooooh, girls screamed!!! Mr. Bambi sounds a bit girlie-man to me. Of course none of the girls were bused in, right?

[chimera]

Obamalama's still ahead of Hilldog. When he's around people swoon and cry.

I wish someone in the press had the guts to ask Hillary what happened to those 200,000 new jobs she promised she'd bring to upstate NY, instead of the net 16,000 job loss they've had. Last time out she blamed it on Bush. Wonder if that tune has changed?
