Should Conservatives Support Rudeness? Why booing Senator Clinton is beneath us.

self

[watsonfellow]

First of all, to prevent the flamings, I should say that I am a strong conservative, and my number one issue is the life issue and so I am not at all a supporter of the Clintons etc.

That being said, I thought it the height of rudeness for these firemen and policemen to boo and yell at the Senator this weekend. It lacked dignity and class. I thought we conservatives were supposed to stand for such things, or perhaps this is just what we say, but do not practice.

I wonder what Burke et al would have said about this conservative embrace of very questionable manners.

The policemen and firemen should have just done nothing when she appeared on stage, no clapping, no booing, the silence would have expressed the same thing, but in a much more dignified way.

Hitlery earned and deserves to be boooooed. She should be thankful that is all that it was. Personally, I'd have been throwing things at her.

Ok. Next time we will just hiss really loud like she does.

[kidd]

I respect your thought, but I disagree in this particular case.

It was clear to me that her sole purpose on stage was to showcase herself.

Not the firemen or policemen that died. Herself.
Not the rescuers. Herself.

Many famous New York liberals spoke and were not booed. She is a New Yorker wannabee. Her presence and her demeanor were entirely inappropriate for this event. It cheapened it. The only way to stop her from engaging in future cheap self-promotions was to humiliate her. I hope she got the message.

[TLBSHOW]

She is an asset to our country and it's about time people realized it. There is no excuse for ignorance.

Any comments ...email me personally.

BOOOOOOO TO CLINTON, AND I WISH I COULD SEE THIS EVERY NIGHT. We have all waited 8 miserable years to get to see this, and it accidentially came to us. Remember she invited herself on stage, did you really watch her, she just don't get it, those BOOOOOOOS bounced right off her. But it finally reinforces what we all know, that no one loves her.

Gee, we share so many important things in common, Mass in Latin, etc. But, dear FReeper, we can only be responsible for our own behavior. We cannot control the behavior of others (our own young children excepted).

[Prodigal Daughter]

Don't feel so bad. She didn't give a thought to their feelings when she gave them a slap in the face by having Puerto Rican terrorist-psychopathic-America-haters-cop-killers put back out on the street; nor did she feel bad when when she took communion in a Catholic church; nor when she disrespected St. Patrick's parade, I'm not Catholic but her disrespect offends me, nor does she give a second thought when she pushes abortion around the world, nor did she give a second thought to bombing Serbian civilians. She's not worth your time thinking about this.

[MattGarrett]

When you consider that this "servant of the people" ran an airport checkpoint and injured one of New York's Finest and gave no apology, didn't check to see if he was alright, and was only concerned with making her fund raiser, I think that booing her is ENTIRELY appropriate. What's beneath us is allowing carpet baggers to persue their own quest for power in another state when there wouldn't have been a snowball's chance in hell that she could have been elected at home.

[bobono]

Yes, had the crowd simply quitely sat indisapproval, it would have been much easire for the press to spin that action as "TOTAL RESPECT FOR THE WORLD'S SMARTEST WOMAN" - but its a lot tougher to pretend boos were something good, like a Halloween cheer.

Nonetheless, she will be victimized again, and shame on hannity for not stating ANYTHING about FALN, spitting at cops, calling cops murderers, etc. when they debated this last night.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

From this poster's bio, they are a recent college graduate. Most likely, that would've made him/her 13 years old when the Clintons assumed the throne. This person is still very naive and weak, or they're a shill.

Either way, they deserve all the criticism we can muster.

[Publius6961]

Some people do not deserve respect in any form at any time.
Even if they manage to get themselves elected senator.

Then there are the arrogant idiots who presume to lecture others on manners, yet can't post to the proper category:

This is a useless presumptuous "My opinion/Question" vanity, and doesn't belong in Culture /Society

[mc5cents]

I don't like being in the position to defend Hillary, but I agree with you. She has been verbally supportive (even very supportive) of W, sincere or not I'm grateful for that.

Here, you forgot to add this to your post </sarcasm>. You did forget didn't you?

[djf]

This is the same dame who started all the "vast right wing conspiracy" voodoo BS. The left then proceeded daily to refer to us as NAZIS. Ignoring the fact that the nazis were, in fact, the democratic socialist party of Germany. Booing is an integral part of the American political process, especially for someone who so wholeheartedly deserves it. One does not obtain respect for what they are, but for what they do.

[EggsAckley]

The idiots who booed Senator Clinton wish they had daughters who could grow up to be half as intelligent as she is. Most of them were drunken moron sheep

Whew! the nerve of this guy to call those fire and police heroes drunken moron sheep. Let's all freep the guy; he was stupid enough to give us his email address.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Thank you SO much for making me want to urp right here.

[Saundra Duffy]

Booing Hillary Clinton is a badge of honor. For victory & freedom!!!

[Katya]

Not to be rude...but you just got here, no?

Obviously you missed the threads where people rang up Al Gore's conference call line, and flushed the toilet...now that was RUDE!!! Oh....I need to laugh that hard again.

[resistance]

Booing her was not polite or politically correct. They could have stoned her! That probably would have been their preference.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Thank you for calling attention to our vast shortcomings with your timely wisdom. Good manners are a cornerstone of civilisation. With that in mind, I am keeping my pinky off my can of Milwaulkee's Best.

[aShepard]

Watching the hostility build as she spoke my guess is the only thing preventing a physical removal was Secret Service protection (which everyone knew was there.)

Good Point!

I'll bet the SS guys loved it as well. They're probably still snickering.
