Hillary Booed At MLK Rally In New York
From a Politico.com article by Kenneth P. Vogel:
NEW YORK, N.Y. — Dogged by continuing racial tensions around her presidential campaign, Hillary Rodham Clinton drew a smattering of boos on Monday when she spoke at a religiously tinged Martin Luther King Jr. rally put together by a union organizing predominantly black security workers.
The catcalls came when Clinton was introduced and her speech drew only tepid applause compared to the boisterous ovations drawn by many of the pastors and reverends — not to mention a hip-hop artist and slam poet — who took the podium before her.
Her participation in the event drew nary a mention during nearly two hours of speeches, performances, prayers and acknowledgments. But she was a late addition to the event — SEIU Local 32BJ President Michael Fishman said he didn’t know Clinton would be there until he arrived at the rally. The SEIU affiliate supports Clinton, though a union official stressed that the event was not a Clinton campaign rally.
The New York senator called on the roughly 2,500, mostly black attendees “to fulfill [King’s] unfinished dream and to live the legacy that we have inherited.” Some of her biggest applause came when she cited her rival for the Democratic nomination, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, who had his share of supporters at the event.
“How many of us ever dreamed that we would see the day when a woman and an African-American are running for the presidency of the United States of America?” Clinton asked, referring to herself and Obama.
Even though the event was billed as a rally for an SEIU affiliate celebrating King’s legacy and Clinton was a late-addition, the less-than-enthusiastic reception was still noteworthy. It took place in Clinton’s backyard and came as she is making extensive efforts to put the kibosh on the racially tinged controversy swirling around her campaign.

Guess the Hildabeast is in “no ways tired” of all the boos yet? C’mon Black people…snub this bitch…and her idiotic challenger. You guys/gals are way smarter than these two assholes are.

January 14th, 2008 at 3:57 pmHow on Earth did her people miss the perfect opportunity for Hillary to come onto the stage in [Al Jolson] black-face?
Somebody’s head might otta roll for this …
January 14th, 2008 at 4:03 pmLMAO… What a grat picture..
January 14th, 2008 at 4:16 pmLOL….nice of use of Photoshop. Cagney and Lane, were they still alive, would be rather horrified but that’s alright.
Well, I always wondered what would stop the Hildabeast and now we have our answer. Without black support, there’s no way she’s electable. The Clintons will forever be known for their prolific apologies. That alone should serve to alienate a useful majority of voters when they see what an ass-wipe she is.
January 14th, 2008 at 5:27 pmI am pumped! I hope those two shit birds i.e. (Hellary & BlackOsama) keep this fued up so that the 2% of blacks who DO vote decide not to and the Democraps lose big time!
