Hillary — No Truth And No Consequences, Part II [LisaFab in TooGoodReports, on WalMart FReep]

Hillary — No Truth And
No Consequences, Part II

By

Toogood Reports [Wednesday, June 18, 2003; 12:01 a.m. EST]

"Life is to rise and not to rest," says the motto of my old high school. And so last week, on a pleasure trip to Washington DC, when an opportunity to rise arose I was ready to go.

Last week I hopefully saved some of you from parting with a nugget of your hard-earned cash by reviewing Time magazine's excerpt of Hillary Clinton's 'autobiography', Living History. Though I still have not read the entire book, I think it's more interesting to study the phenomenon of it's subject and the promotion of both.

So it was that a trip a friend and I had planned for about a month met with the happy coincidence of a DC book signing by the 'queen of coming-clean' herself. We had been invited to express our displeasure for HRC by Kristinn Taylor, the eloquent co-leader of FreeRepublic.com's DC Chapter who've been seeing to the discomfiture of the Clintons and their cronies for years. They had 'greeted' Senator Clinton the night before at a Wal-Mart in Fairfax, VA.

'Freepers' are to liberals what jock-itch is to athletes except that they are much better looking and harder to get rid of. Having had the pleasure to participate with the DC group on previous occasions, we knew we were in for an illuminating afternoon.

Her Royal Heinous was due to arrive at a small bookstore in the Capitol area at noon and sign until two o' clock or the unthinkable happened and she had more books than schnooks. We arrived at 10:30 and had a seat on a park bench directly across from the store where my friend proceeded to begin reading a copy of the book he'd bought which had already been marked twenty-five percent off. I could tell by his frequent chuckling that the Time piece had not done justice to the hilarity of Hillary's historical recollections.

His favorite was a riff on how she had to delay her work on health care in order to phone members of Congress to gin up support for the budget plan and NAFTA. Putting aside the preposterous notion that a First Lady could influence congressmen (On the other hand, were the 800 FBI files in her possession yet?), one is left with the sole indisputable truth contained in the book — that Hillary actually believed herself to be the co-President and that she alone could deliver the goods for the "most ethical administration in history."

For the next hour, the line across the street grew and snaked down Pennsylvania Avenue and around the corner. Also assembling were the dozen or so Freepers, numerous press people and a gaggle of law enforcement and Secret Service types. The breezy, sunlit morning had given way to a sweltering afternoon and all involved were soon engulfed in a blanket of humidity that hung over us like an impending subpoena.

I had dutifully labored in making posters for the occasion but soon discarded them in favor of one which had a shall-we-say unflattering picture of Mrs. Clinton in place of the airbrushed fantasy photo that adorns the cover of the book. The title was altered to read "Lying History" in keeping with its subject matter. When approached by a staffer from National Review whose office ironically was directly above the bookstore and wanted permission to use the graphic, I directed him to the sign's maker, the brilliant and hard-working Kathy Wood, co-leader of the DC Chapter of Free Republic who cheerfully acquiesced.

Soon, police activity increased as high noon and her highness approached. The crowd in the front of the line was parted as the Democrat diva emerged from a silver Lincoln and, gesturing to her subjects, entered the store while the loyal opposition chanted "We Believe Juanita!" Soon after, I was approached by a well-dressed man from the line who wanted to know who Juanita was. When informed that Juanita Broaddrick was an alleged rape victim of his favorite author's husband, he politely thanked me with a quizzical look and returned across the street.

By now, the Freepers were hitting their full-throated stride, running the gamut of chants and vocal presentations designed to get under the skin of Hill and her supporters. Their strategery worked like a charm as the previously wide open doors of the bookstore closed faster than Hillary's lips when asked about Whitewater. Doctor Raoul, Freeper of many faces, dressed that day as Satan (and holding a sign that said, "I sold my soul to Hillary"), addressed those in line with, "Sorry I can't do anything about this heat folks, you'll have to go inside and ask my boss."

There was little give-and-take between the two sides of Pennsylvania Avenue except for the occasional middle finger and one incensed man who circled the block in his car delivering an obscenity-laced serenade to the protesters. Actually, the folks in line appeared oddly ambivalent to our presence. Instead, they seemed to be waiting for Hillary! the celebrity rather than a U.S. Senator or a future presidential hopeful — not so much admirers of the woman herself but of her notoriety.

As the line dwindled down to a few dozen, Hillary exited via the back door about 20 minutes ahead of schedule, purportedly to attend a Senate vote but more likely to avoid the embarrassment that her handlers had overestimated the size of the crowd and to give the appearance that she had signed her fingers to the bone and had to 'turn away' the remainder of her fans.

This movable feast of political promotion accompanied by media puff pieces is coming to a town near you, my fellow Hillaryphobes. Grab some magic markers and some posterboard and tell Hillary how you really feel — after all, she just told us.

Perhaps someone who has read the book can tell me if there is any referece to her "spectacular success" as a cattle futures trader.

The question being, if there is not -why not?

If I had been so successful at an endeavor as she supposedly was I would certainly want to include it in my autobiography.

After-action Report DC Chapter FReep of Hillary in DC
June 12, 2003 right here | me
Posted on 06/12/2003 1:58 PM PDT by BillF

Fresh from their victory over the liberals at Hillary's Wal-Mart book signing in Fairfax, VA last night (one Clinton Kool-Aid drinker said that our presence in Fairfax destroyed their celebratory mood), the DC Chapter of Free Republic assembled troops at the Hillary Clinton book signing at Capitol Hill today. 

The daring raid into liberal-occupied Capitol Hill had strategic surprise.  As liberals were caught flat-footed again and they were able to mount only feeble resistance, the FReep was yet another triumph.  Details will follow, but this is posted now to get the thread started.  Your humble correspondent also has video and audio that should be added to this thread in the next day or so.

Our honor roll for this gathering of eagles: Angelwood, Doctor Raoul, Kristinn, Jimmy Valentine's brother, LisaFab, NaystoShays, Staytrue, tgslTakoma and BillF...

I just got back from Wal-Mart, and as I was standing in line, the male unit of the couple behind me wandered over to Hillarrhea!'s book display, came back, and happily announced

"Nope, still haven't sold a one of them!"

And we passed the time chatting about how their eight-year reign seemed an eternity and other cool stuff...

I was in Fry's Electronics yesterday and overheard a mid thirties guy say (pretty loud, sarcastically, and spontaneously) upon seeing Hellery's book on the shelf, "Wellll....there's Hillary's book. Isn't that nice?"

This tour has *got* to be giving her a big fat faceful of what America really thinks about her. And deep down, it can't be fun.

LOL

I was recently through Chicago and Albuquerque Airports. I had enough time in each to turn around her display book to the back side which is nothing more than a montage of meaningless pictures (similar to what I hear is in the book itself). This action was done in at least 6-8 different book kiosks at Chicago and 3 at Albuquerque airports.

Hopefully this action saved a few of the airport traveling public from seeing that HIDEOUS face and even more, from spending anything at all on the book.

One small freep for mankind.

Thanks for posting this great article by one of our own. LisaFab -- fabulous account of our fun afternoon reminding Hillary that she can't fool all the people.

This is really a well-written account and some of your phrases may lend themselves to signs or commentary at future freeps of her heinous. Thanks for joining us in an enjoyable afternoon.

Hillarrhea!'s book has been in the book section for a week or ten days, and I still have yet to see anyone even look at it.

Normally, I would feel a tad of sympathy for anyone being shunned like that, but recalling those eight years of 24/7 Clintons-in-yer-face?

I laugh...

Excellent work, Bob! I myself turned her face to the wall when I was assaulted by that hideous viseage in my GROCERY STORE!

They must have put these books in every conceivable venue. I sure would like to know what threats or incentives they used to get the book in some of these stores!

Yesterday I was at the Borders Books near my office during lunch. I walked around the store to see if the stacks of Hillary's books were moving. The main display was smaller with someone else's book taking up part of the table display area where Living History had been prominently displayed. I counted over 330 books in various stacks on on shelves in numerous display cases around the store.

It was really funny to see the political books display with Hillary's book "Living History" right next to Ann Coulter's book "High Crimes and Misdemeanors." I'm sure an enterprising customer helped in this instance. I laughed when I saw the books together. "Treason" will look good next the Hillary's book, also.

Thank you, Lisa! Well done.

Thanks for the ping, Ron.

Does anyone else wonder why this didn't at least make Drudge last week? Think our Pres. will be able to rally international $$$ and support for our troops with this woman siding w/ European socialists, selling out our troops and America to an overseas audience?

Hillary Clinton Attacks Bush, U.S. Intelligence Services in Overseas Interview
International News Analysis ^ | June 17, 2003 | Toby Westerman

Praising her husband's close relationship with European leaders during his period in office, Clinton declared that "for eight years we were on the right course to a globalized and integrated world - which is coming, one way or the other."

In the Der Spiegel interview, Clinton asserted that her husband sought to pass "effective laws" and proposed "more money" to carry out the struggle against terror, but "the Republicans prevented" measures from becoming enacted.

Not only is a "globalized and integrated world" inevitable, it is a foreign policy priority of the Democratic Party.

The socialist European expectation will be that a Democratic victory will bring into power a U.S. government more to the liking of one-world European politicians

"7/25/03 5:00 PM at WalMart. Little Rock, AR."

Now I am confused. On the original list, this appearance was shown to be at Sam's Club in Little Rock. There are 2 Walmarts in Little Rock. Since we are planning to FReep her heinous, it is rather important that we get the correct location. One of the Walmarts is in close proximity to the Sam's Club. The supercenter is in a real bad part of town, but one probably full of idiots who adore her.

I'm not so sure about that. Her flunkees go to great lengths to protect her from exposure to the riff raff (those who think the truth matters). I think the most us FReepers can hope for at these things is to make some kind of an impression on her idiot followers.

You may have just answered your own question. Doesn't that describe some fundamental requirements for being a devout democRAT?

It would be soooo easy to "pretend" to be an admirer, get in line, then spew a little invective in her face.

If this has not happened, I'll be a monkey's uncle.
