wallflour Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 Did anyone see that happen over the weekend at the fundraising concerts, either live or on TV?I can understand that Gere said something that people didn't really want to hear, what was the deal with Hillary? Did it have something to do with her limo running over a security guy (at an airport, I believe) ? Or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heretic909 Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 I just read a couple stories on it and they said Gere got booed for asking for compassion for the enemy. And they said Hillary got booed pretty much for just showing up. I've seen a lot of shit where people have been pissed with her since the attack.

wallflour Posted October 23 Author Report Share Posted October 23 XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX SUN OCT 21, 2001 20:18:28 ET XXXXXPUBLIC 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. -----------------------------------------------------------Filed By Matt DrudgeReports are moved when circumstances warranthttp://www.drudgereport.com for updates©DRUDGE REPORT 2001Not for reproduction without permission of the author Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfiorellino Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 Hillary was very viscious in her attacks on the NYPD when the Amado Diallo case was going on. I guess the cops didn't forget that. Good for the cops and firemen, I would have booed her too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
