You can't really be thinking about voting for Shrillary, can you??? newsmax.com Wednesday March 29, 2000; 12:39 PM EST More St. Pat's Day Intimidation by Hillary's Bodyguards Reports of intimidation by Mrs. Clinton's bodyguards as she marched in New York's St. Patrick's Day parade continue to surface in the alternative press, despite the establishment media's refusal to cover the story. On Tuesday another disturbing account emerged on Bob Grant's nationally syndicated talk radio show, paralleling the report of Metro Network newsman Glenn Schuck -- who told a New York radio audience immediately after the parade that he and other reporters on the scene had been assaulted by Mrs. Clinton's security detail. A woman who marched in the parade told Grant's WOR audience that Mrs. Clinton's bodyguards harassed and intimidated her family because they heckled the First Lady from the sidewalk while holding signs supporting her senate rival, New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. By all accounts, Mrs. Clinton was booed and jeered repeatedly along the parade route. Grant's caller "Maureen" said that after her family joined the crowd in jeering Mrs. Clinton, "they were surrounded by men in trenchcoats with radios who told them that they do not have the right; that she is the First Lady and they did not have the right," to heckle. "They told them, 'We think you should stop this now.'" "My relatives weren't using any obscene words or anything of that nature. They were telling her to go back to Arkansas," Maureen said. "My niece met me later when I was finished marching. She was very upset. She said, 'I was so frightened.' She told me she shut up because she figured she was going to be arrested." Grant's caller was apparently unfamilar with Schuck's account, telling the talk host that she hadn't heard anyone else report the absusive behavior by Mrs. Clinton's security detail. Schuck, whose reports are heard on both WOR and WABC talk radio, described the Secret Service as being out of control as they guarded Mrs. Clinton's along the parade route. "They just lost their minds.... Agents literally were pushing press to the ground. I mean, they just started pushing and shoving; female camera people five feet tall were getting thrown to the ground, cameras flying," Schuck told WABC after the parade. "Myself, I was grabbed by the shoulder, I was thrown back over. I think somebody from Channel 11 landed on my back," Schuck added. The Metro Network reporter said that he was one of at least six reporters who were assaulted by Mrs. Clinton's guards, who resorted to similar violence at several different stops along the parade route. That night, local CBS TV reporter Marsha Kramer showed video shot at the parade showing Clinton's bodyguards trying to stop a CBS cameraman from filming the booing crowd. Other than Kramer's local CBS report, no mainstream news outlet has covered the St. Patrick's Day harassment and intimidation by the First Lady's security detail.
