<title>Slog - Comments on The Hillary Protest at Benaroya Hall:  A 2008 Odyssey</title>
<link>http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/the_hillary_benaroya_protest_a_2008_odys</link>
<description>Posted by Ryan S. Jackson The tipping point of the demonstration against (and subsequent counter-demonstration for) Hillary Clinton last night in front of Benaroya Hall might have been when the youthful group of roughly twenty Republicans calling themselves MoveRed began what they called a &quot;money laundry.&quot; The laundry consisted of a large bucket of water that was filled with washing detergent; when full, dollar bills were dunked into it to great cheers from participants. The soapy money was then displayed to Clinton haters, supporters, and people attempting to catch a bus on Third Avenue. I don&apos;t know exactly what they...</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Ryan, this was GREAT!  Thank you for the report.  I walked by the straggling Ron Paul'ers and was convinced to ask why there was no "Republican" on their main signs and ask why he didn't run as an independent instead, but it would have been too easy and boring.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Jake of 8bitjoystick.com</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The “"Ron Paul is a cult!"” guys is just jealous that he is taking up all the wacko spotlight away from LaRouche.</p>

<p>Honestly out here in Kitsap the only Presidential race signs that you see are for Ron Paul and they are all over the place. I would not be surprise if he gets some delegates from the Washington State Republican. </p>

<p>“the youthful group of roughly twenty Republicans calling themselves MoveRed” If they support the war so damn much why are they still state side? When my father was their age LBJ and Nixon drafted him. I’ll have to sign up for a MoveRed event and then hand out military recruitment flyers to the young Republicans. I mean if they mean what they say I should have a 100% of them sign up right?</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>One wonders why so many draft-age eligible young men are protesting against Sen Clinton when they could be serving in combat units in Iraq ...</p>

<p>Just saying.</p>

<p>But, hey, I served. They just swerved.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by RonK, Seattle</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Are you sure they weren't chanting "RON PAUL IS OCCULT"?</p>

<p>Y'know, if Kucinich is holding 10-minute nonverbal dialogs with space aliens (the ones in the triangular ships - <i>not</i> the saucer people), Ron Paul may be working on a metaphysical campaign counterpunch.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by SDA in SEA</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I'm baffled by the Ron Paul supporters. </p>

<p>I can see why some disaffected Republicans might be initially drawn to his anti-war stance, since he's the only anti-war Republican running. But even the most casual scrutiny reveals him to be a complete nut job. </p>

<p>The rest of the anti-Hillery protesters are just a handful of the 24%-ers, and easily ignored.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>as one of the pro-hillary people out there last night (neither a grad student, nor a person in expensive evening wear), i was endlessly amused by the money laundry thing. that guy walked around for a while holding that dollar bill with soap suds dripping from it. my favorite anti- sign was "hillary is george w. bush in a skirt." clearly that person hasn't noticed hillary wears pantsuits. </p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>MoveRed.org   </p>

<p>This wasn't about the war. This was about stopping government spending. Hillary said on Oct 10, that she has a million ideas for this country, but we just can't afford them all. It shows a mindset that she has that is bad for this country. </p>

<p>We want a leader who will balance the budget, keep taxes low, and keep the government small. We want health care for everyone, but keeping it in the private sector will make it a better quality. We do not want the FEMA system in charge of our health care. </p>

<p>We believe in personal responsiblity, she believes in government responsiblity. </p>
