PUBLIC RELATIONS DEBACLE AFTER SEN. HILLARY JEERED AND BOOED BY HEROES
Senator Hillary Clinton's inner circle is furious at MIRAMAX king Harvey Weinstein after the former first lady suffered through a public relations nightmare during Saturday's AMERICA: A TRIBUTE TO HEROES concert in New York City.
Hillary Clinton was jeered and booed by thousands gathered at Madison Square Garden as she took to the stage -- unannounced -- to introduce a movie clip.
VH1 cameras captured firemen and police heroes wildly booing Clinton, who attempted to raise her voice above the shouting crowd.
"Get off the stage! We don't want you here!" yelled one New York City police officer just feet from the senator.
Anti-Clinton slurs spread and intensified throughout the Garden, with many standing near the stage lobbing profanities.
Event-planner and close Clinton friend Harvey Weinstein was visibly shaken as he heard the crowd erupt with boos and jeers, according to an eyewitness.
The junior senator from New York ending up giving the shortest presentation of the evening, clocking in at under 20 seconds.
"How could we not know this would be the wrong forum for Hillary?!" shouted one confidante. "These are cops and firemen who listen to right-wing talkradio. They still think she killed Vince Foster, for Christ sake!"
Other New York politicians received warmer welcomes during the 5-hour concert which featured Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Elton John and others.
Former President Bill Clinton, who took the stage minutes after his wife, worked over scattered boos with talk of the rescuers' heroism.
Following the Clintons, James Taylor soothed the heroes with an acoustic FIRE AND RAIN.
The concert raised millions of dollars for September 11 relief efforts.

Consider Hitlery Freeped. I wonder if she will go see her favorite baseball team the Yankees.

"How could we not know this would be the wrong forum for Hillary?!" shouted one confidante. "These are cops and firemen who listen to right-wing talkradio. They still think she killed Vince Foster, for Christ sake!" She got booed because she took money from the terrorists who killed 300 firemen.

She's had this coming ever since she hugged and kissed Mrs. Arafat!

As a FIREFIGHTER, I guess he was right. I do listen to "Right-Wing" Radio talk, However I prefer to call it "Conservative Talk Radio". We still do not like Hillary, regardless of which radio show we listen to.

So Hillary's inner circle is mad at Harvey Weinstein; it's never Hillary's fault is it? She doesn't understand the heroes don't like her for what she stands for. They could just as easily be cleaning up the mess in NYC made by those Puerto Rican terrorists that her husband released in an effort to buy the Puerto Rican vote in NYC. For that, and more, the heroes don't like her and don't trust her. They aren't stupid.

They still think she killed Vince Foster, for Christ sake!" Ummmm, no. They remember how she stood by and did nothing when the state police color guard was spat upon in Albany. They remember when Hitlery accused the police of murder in the Diallo case. They remember who let the Puerto Rican terrorists out. They remember, period.
Following the Clintons, James Taylor soothed the heroes with an acoustic FIRE AND RAIN.
Ah, a little patronizing always helps. Nice.

And the conveniently unidentified "confidante" chooses to make repugnant and vile remarks about heroic NYC cops and firemen.
Oh, and by the way Hill...the event was about THEM, not YOU.
Enjoy your one-term Senate seat. The heroes won't forget...

I'll bet most cops and firemen were not conservatives, but union members. They just don't get it yet. She makes everyone sick.

Maybe her black pant suit outfit smelled......
To: The Vast Right Wing
I love that!! Most of the firefighters and police are union members..are they not?? If so, don't most unions go with the Democrats??
Our heroes know a phony when they see it and Hillary is it!! Oops...I do remember that the Fraternal Order of the Police endorsed our beloved George, but I can't remember. Anyways, Bravo for our heroes booing her! I hope they show it on reruns on VH-1! If not, I will consider that CENSORSHIP!!

The NYPD never forgot that Billy boy freed FALN terrorists for Hillary's Puerto Rican vote. You know, the guys who blew up a bunch of NYPD COPS several years ago.

kinda wish they were lobbing something else...
To: Dialup Llama
Hillary planted a big kiss on Suha Arafat and was caught disguising campaign money from a "muslim" organization as a "Museum" organization.
To: The Vast Right Wing
"These are cops and firemen who listen to right-wing talkradio...."LOL! I KNEW that the VRWC would be blamed. Couldn't have anything to do with her opinions on police, military, and the like. Besides, she probably did kill Foster.

Firefighters do belong to a union, the IAFF, but by their very nature, and the nature of their job they tend to be mostly "Conservative". I think my department is vastly conservative, we might have "one" with liberal tendencies, but I am working on him.
