We NEVER have a Right-wing riot.

In '94 Hillary held a rally in Seattle to kick off the bus tour designed to promote her intended takeover of medicine. A local talk show host put out the word and, I dunno, a minimum or 3,000 showed up to protest. Everyone was in a good mood, laughing and chanting, waving their hand lettered signs. It was great watching Hillary and her cohort buffoons trying to maintain their smiles and cheerful demeanor for the cameras tightly focused on them - and only on them.

I recall the initial press reports as saying an estimated 50 angry thugs interrupted this magical event.

The bus tour fell apart very shortly thereafter.

I still kid myself into believing that I had more impact that day than anything I ever did when I still voted.
