Hillary Goes to Wal-Mart (FR DC Chapter mentioned)
The Weekly Standard ^ | June 23, 2003 | Matt Labash

Posted on 06/14/2003 8:41:38 AM PDT by Gary Seven

Fairfax, Virginia IT'S HARD TO DESCRIBE the electricity one feels when crossing this Northern Virginia strip-mall parking lot to attend Hillary Clinton's "Living History" book-signing. But I haven't been this excited about Wal-Mart since my one-hour photos came back in 25 minutes. It makes me feel all sprightly and young again--as if it were 1998.

The Hillaryites are frustrated, but a bellicose, heavyset woman starts trying to rally the troops by screaming "Bozo! Bush is a BOZO!" I scramble over to her and try to conduct an interview. But she's tasted blood and finds it difficult to stop. She tries to respond to questions and wage war at the same time. The effect is that of a Tourette's sufferer short of medication: "My name is Tina, and those are BOZO LOVERS! BUSH IS BOZO THE CLOWN! Hi, who you with? BOZO! Who do you write for? DOWN WITH BOZO!"

Here is the author interviewing the bellicose heavyset woman:

...The gist of the Freeper complaint--one seconded by many mainstream book reviewers who are much less intense than they are--is that Hillary has been paid $8 million to perpetrate a fraud, one of the many tributary frauds being her claim that she didn't know her husband had relations with Monica Lewinsky until he admitted it in August 1998, seven months after the story broke...
ANOTHER fraud is the that airbrushed PHOTO of "her" on the cover.

Our pleasure, LOL!

Bmwcyle earned the kudos for this one. He did the work ensuring that everything went okay.

And thanks, as always, Jim, for making FR the best place on the Web for conservatives and other patriotic Americans.

Thanks for the ping and the post !!

I keep seeing more and more NON-WP/LAT articles posted as an excerpt. Did I miss a memo from management or something? Why the article excerpts, which require us to leave the thread to read the thread/article?

Am I violating rules when I post full text articles ??

Enquiring minds wanna know.

Anyone ?? . . .

That should probably read (FR DC Chapter celebrated!). This is basically an article about FReepers, which must roil Hillary!... and kills me. In contrast to something someone posted on one of the AARs, Mr. Labash really gets the joke.

The Freepers and the Hillaryites go back and forth, speaking like overheated bumper stickers, in a manner that resembles our political discourse through most of the nineties. A Freeper placard touts Monica's "Quote of the Century: 'I voted Republican this year, the Democrats left a bad taste in my mouth.'" "Boo!" say several of the Hillaryites. The Freepers start bleating like barnyard animals, then break into a chorus of "Sheeple Who Need Sheeple." "Loser!" cough the Hillaryites, now holding L-signs up to their foreheads. The Freepers are outnumbered about 200 to 1. But preparation is everything, and the Freepers seem to be getting the best of it.

I LOVE IT!!!

Y'all got to read this article. It should be a great motivator. Unfortunately, I can't ping my whole Arkansas list because I'm not at home, but I will when I get back.

I hope as many as possible will make a real effort to make the booksigning FReeps. Budge and I were talking yesterday about doing a double FReep since apparently the witch WILL be doing one in Little Rock. It will be on the 25th of July. The one in Blythville will be on the 26'th and Budge is all set to take the FReepmobile for all who would like to travel together. Those who can't make both could maybe make one or the other.

Summer's here and the time is right for freeping in the streets!

Former First Lady, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton ('Rat-NY) will be touring the country this summer promoting her memoirs, Living History.

FReepers from coast to coast will have the opportunity to exercise their First Amendment rights to peaceably assemble and freep her like a rented mule...

I personally **LOVE** the idea of FReepers - all across the USA - dressing up as "GHOST writers" to greet the junior Senator from New York - at EVERY book-signing, in EVERY city, all across the US - to stress the message that Hillary did NOT write this book of lies all by herself...
Perhaps she had help from the GHOSTS of:
- Baghdad Bob, or
- Jayson Blair, or
- Joe Isuzu, or
- YOUR idea here.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., looks at a customer during an autograph session
U.S. Senator and former First Lady Hillary Clinton's book about her years in the White House has quickly become a best-seller and is causing a bit of a stir among Democratic Party political activists. Senator Clinton's appearances at bookstores to autograph copies of her memoir are drawing large crowds that are mostly friendly but have a few detractors as well.

Outside a bookstore on Capitol Hill in Washington, the lines snake around the block with hundreds eager for an autograph and a brief exchange with Senator Clinton.

A beaming Lisa Sherrod has just emerged from the bookstore with her prize, an autographed copy of Mrs. Clinton's book, Living History. "It was wonderful. She was energetic and very friendly. She looks wonderful and I am very excited about reading this book. My 87-year-old grandmother started reading it last night," she says.

Among those waiting patiently in line for her turn is Marilyn Markowitz of Washington. She sees Hillary Clinton as a role model for American women. I am here to support Hillary Clinton and also to buy her book for my mom because I think that she is an example for us women as to how far you can go if you use your smarts," she says.

Actually, Marilyn Markowitz believes Hillary Clinton can go a lot farther, all the way to the White House one day. In fact, she is unimpressed with the nine Democrats now running for president and would like Senator Clinton to join the Democratic field for 2004. "They are kind of into the mediocrity, I mean, I don't even distinguish between their faces. But hers stands out," she says.

In television interviews given in conjunction with the release of the book, Mrs. Clinton has repeatedly said she has no intention at this time of running for president, either next year or in the future. She told NBC's Today program that she is confident that the Democrats will nominate a strong challenger to take on President Bush in 2004. "Well, it is not going to happen. It is a total hypothetical and I have said I am not running, so that is the answer. But you know, we have very good [Democratic presidential] candidates," she said.

To be sure, the prospect of a Hillary Clinton campaign for president does not thrill everyone. Even at her book signings, she is dogged by small groups of conservative protesters eager to douse any presidential ambitions she may have. "Ladies and gentlemen, in just a few minutes, you too will be able to witness the Hillary Clinton freak show. Live and in person, the human doormat herself! For the modest price of just $28 you can marvel as the smartest woman in the world plays dumb for suckers like you," says Christin Taylor, with a conservative group called Free Republic.

"We don't like Hillary. We think she is telling a lot of lies in her book and we are here to try to set the record straight some and have some fun while doing it," she says.

A new poll by USA Today and the Gallup organization suggests Mrs. Clinton's image has improved since the release of her book. The new poll found 53 percent of those surveyed had a favorable view of Mrs. Clinton, up from 43 percent just two weeks ago.

But the polls and many political experts suggest Mrs. Clinton remains a polarizing political figure, wildly popular with liberal Democrats but a favorite target for conservative Republicans.

Even some of her supporters concede she will have to mend a few political fences if she hopes to one day win the presidency. Joanna Gabryszewski is a supporter who says she would like to work in a Hillary Clinton presidential campaign one day. But she says the Senator will have to win over some of her critics if she hopes to succeed. "There is a little bit of that. She is going to have to get over the hump on that and I am not sure how," she says. "She has got a little bit of a battle uphill before she can get enough people on her bandwagon [to get elected president]."

But many of her supporters brush those concerns aside and are eager for another Clinton in the White House. Lisa Sherrod says she believes Mrs. Clinton should set her sights on the 2008 presidential election. "Yes! Definitely in 2008. I think she needs to put her time in the Senate, get that experience and the notoriety and it is all hers," she says.

The latest USA Today-Gallup poll suggests the public is sharply split on a possible Hillary Clinton run in 2008. Forty-two percent of those surveyed said they would be either very likely or somewhat likely to support her. But 56 percent said it was either not very likely or not likely at all that they would vote for her.

But before Mrs. Clinton can even consider running in 2008, she might first seek to get re-elected to the Senate from New York. She faces that test in 2006.

I'll bet she was energetic - ever sign 1000 books in two hours?

By what I saw on this morning's news, Hillary was PUMPIN' them out! You walk up, the Beast makes her mark and then passes the whole mess to an assistant so the proud owner can pick up their special prize from them. NEXT!
