Who booed Clinton

June
20

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was the featured breakfast speaker this morning at the Take Back America convention that has drawn what organizers say is more than 3,000 liberal activists to the nation’s capital.

Last year the news from the Take Back America convention was the booing and jeering the New York senator received from the audience.

How big was the disgruntled group?

“I think it was about four people,’’ Rob Kall, publisher of OpEdNews.com said this morning. “I was in the front row and they were about four rows behind me. That brief incident by people not representative of the audience was used hundreds of times to attack her.’’

Kall noted that he’s not even a supporter of Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Isabelle Kanz of Peconic, on Long Island’s North Fork, estimates the jeers came from perhaps eight to 12 people.

Her assessment is the same as Kall’s. She’s convinced the media blew the incident out of proportion.

Stephen Kohler of Elizabethtown, Pa. noted, “She certainly stirs emotions, whether it’s good or bad. I think it’s mostly good this year. She has matured as a candidate.’’

    Hillary should be booed. Running her first time as a progressive democrat she quickly shed that facade once in office. In the intervening years she, along with the rest of the Democrats in the House and Senate, have pretty much rubber stamped anything the Administration wanted for fear of being called unpatriotic or something…

    While the Dems may be backing Hillary because they think the have a winner in the next election they ought to be careful what they wish for. She is not a progressive and she likes the status quo.

    she’s as wishy washy as her husband. flips to whatever is the “in” thing. just like john kerry.
