I went and waited for her to show up, so I could boo her. She showed up. I booed. I held up my Rick Lazio sign. The Secret Service didn’t find that amusing, so they casually asked me to leave, which i did, taking great care to make a lot of rustling and walking noises on ym way out. Then I ate a cheeseburger.
She made a really “funny” joke about how this election is like driving a car. If you wanna go forward, put it in “D.” If you wanna go backwards, put it in “R.”.
Har har har. Then she started talking about health care and education and how she plans to destroy it all.
I didn’t throw the burger, as that was in a different building. I don’t like mustard or pickles on burgers, but I did get a piece of tomato, cheese, bacon, and ketchup.

To borrow the phrasing of your post, we NYers should tell her we don’t find her candidacy amusing, and casually ask her to leave. I’ll even supply the cheeseburger.
Thank you Pico. I was surprised at the ammount of animosity that she received, as this is a pretty liberal campus (there are Nader zombies EVERYWHERE.)
But, anyhoo, it’s always been my opinion that unworthy candidates deserve heckling. How else are they going to know that people don’t want them? D (Besides voting, of course.)
Alas, I fear she will win. Which will be a damn shame.
“We’re expecting a record voting turnout next week, so in order to save space at the polling stations, if all the democrats could please come on November 7, and all the republicans on November 8th, it would be appreciated.”
You are right. I wasn’t making myself clear. They didn’t actually interrupt his speech, nor did they harass his fans. I just used booed in a more general sense. They were just there passing out pamphlets and answering questions.
Lighten up, Satan, political heckling is protected by the First Amendment. To quote the old cliche, if Hillary cannot stand a little heat she should get out of the kitchen.
What I find barbaric is that Friedo ate a hamburger without pickles.
Ah yes… But when I excerside MY freedom of speech by opining that this behavior was boorish and accomplished nothing exact showed whan an asshoel friedo is, I should “Lighten up?”
I never said that what he did was illegal. What I said was that it was stupid. It accomplished nothing. It was, essentially, a person acting as if he was in The Pit when it could have been far more productive to act as if he was in great Debates.

Satan , of course you have the unalienable right to voice your opinion when you said:
And I have to agree with your comparison, but in the given circumstance, could friedo have actually have had a chance in hell of carrying on a legitimate debate with Hillary? Very doubtful.
IMHO, he had Two choices, either be one of the quiet sheep in the audience or (in pit fashion) express himself in the only way available.
Whether I personally agree with him or not is beside the point. Instead of sitting home getting stoned, he got off his ass and expressed his point of view, and thats not all bad.
