That should be the true headline: Hillary and "friends" Look Down on Police and Firemen"........Is it any wonder she got boo'ed? If Hillary really cared about New York City and it's people, she would have spent the days with the wounded, and the families of those missing and dead.

Exactly, Michael. I got the same kind of reaction to that quote. What a self-inflicted wound! Both denial that anyone could have legitimate reasons for disliking the Clintons and an insult to the intelligence of "cops and firemen".

Only Left-wing cops and firemen are heros.

mr. bill Pitched Fit Over Hillary Boos Ex-president mr. Bill pitched a fit backstage at Paul McCartney's Twin Tower benefit concert Saturday night after his wife Sen. mrs. bill was roundly booed by the audience. mr. bill "was very vocal and pointed backstage in his displeasure about the reception for Hillary," reports New York Daily News gossip columnist Mitchell Fink. He was "not happy," Fink added euphemistically. The ex-president became "vocal and pointed" after Mrs. bill was nearly hooted off the stage by concert-goers who apparently resented her attempt to horn in on an event that was staged to honor firefighters and policemen who had perished in the Twin Tower attack. "Thank you -- thank you for being here tonight," Mrs. bill shouted as she struggled to be heard, before introducing a video by stand-up comic Jerry Seinfeld. Some in the booing crowd no doubt recalled that at Hillary's nominating convention last year, bill-backers spit on five members of an Albany Police honor guard as they marched an American flag into the convention center. Two months earlier, Mrs. bill had branded as "murderers" four New York cops who were later aquitted in the accidental shooting death of Amadou Diallo. The sour reception mirrors the welcome Mrs. bill got from cops and firefighters just two days after the attacks, when she accompanied President Bush to Ground Zero in lower Manhattan. "The cops and firemen couldn't wait to shake Bush's hand," one eyewitness told NewsMax.com exclusively. "But when Hillary came by, everyone just stood there with their arms folded. Nobody wanted to shake her hand. It was embarrassing." The Daily News mention of Mrs. bill's humiliating concert reception was the only mainstream print coverage of the incident. WABC Radio and nationally syndicated radio host Don Imus, however, did replay clips of the crowd booing Hillary from the original VH1 cablecast. newsmax.com tom watson tosiwmee
