Comments on The Hillary Protest at Benaroya Hall: A 2008 Odyssey

Obscene to the point that you don't feel comfortable repeating it here on the Slog? Really? Jeez, man, I shudder to think about how bad it must've been!

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.

The “"Ron Paul is a cult!"” guys is just jealous that he is taking up all the wacko spotlight away from LaRouche.

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.

“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?

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 ...

Just saying.

But, hey, I served. They just swerved.

Are you sure they weren't chanting "RON PAUL IS OCCULT"?

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

I'm baffled by the Ron Paul supporters.

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.

The rest of the anti-Hillery protesters are just a handful of the 24%-ers, and easily ignored.

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.

These college republicans are an untapped treasure. Someone needs to get an Army recruiter to these protests of their's and get these young patriots signed up!

Forget the army recruiters. NAMBLA should send a van around....

Lol, good one, @11!

Cracking good read!

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.

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.

We believe in personal responsiblity, she believes in government responsiblity.

Yeaaaaahhhhh.

Good luck with that.

Anyone notice if Hugh Foskett was demonstrating? Wonder which Repellican he supports...?

@14

Why don't you look at your own parties spending, you fucking moron.

As a side note: Are semantics and critical thinking no longer taught in schools?

@17

Because, "this isn't about war".

It's just about massive crushing debt.

And making sure America can't use the National Guard to protect itself.

Something I'm guessing at least one million Americans just made refugees in their own nation might not be too happy about ...

We want health care for everyone, but keeping it in the private sector will make it a better quality.

We pay more money for less health care that covers fewer people compared to nearly every industrialized country in the world. The private sector had its chance and has failed.

Republicans are shiftless!!
