Whitman Met By Rowdy Crowd At Campaign Stop

GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) ― Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman was met by a rowdy crowd -- some yelling "go home" -- when she stopped to visit a popular Cuban pastry shop in Southern California.

A noisy crowd of at least 100 surrounded Whitman on Friday while she attempted to greet customers at Porto's Bakery during the final days of the campaign. While some in the crowd applauded the former chief executive of eBay, others yelled at her.

Her detractors chanted "save our schools" and "I want my pensions," a reference to Whitman's proposals to cut state spending and replace government pensions with 401(k)-style accounts. Whitman supporters responded by calling her critics "communists."

4. Whitless goes for broke!

When will she ever realize that she is better off keeping her lying jaw closed?

She tried here I see but nope, the crowed drowned her out it says.

>>Whitman's voice was often drowned out as she tried to talk with customers, and she made no attempt to address the crowd.

6. Communists?????

WTF is WRONG with these assholes?

8. Because they need people in office that tells them scarey brown people are coming to kill, rape

their wives, date their daughters and steal their 64" plasma TV's because commies don't protect them from these brown people in fact the scary commies take away their rights so for the illusion of safety they gladly give up their rights to the people that scare them the most, the ones with R's behind their names. Remember logic nor facts mean very much to these scared nit wits, if it sounds close to what they believe then it becomes fact, no matter what reality or real facts show them.

It's like the nit wit who, when given undeniable fact about how SSDI nor SSI workers do not hand out checks or cash at SS offices, everything is either direct deposited into the persons bank account or is sent out via the snail mail. Mr. nit wit claimed none of that mattered because he saw with his own 2 eye's, while driving past the SS office, black folks coming out of the office with wads of cash in their hands they got for claiming they couldn't work because they had a mental condition that kept them from working.

Now mind you that what he said is based on what he claims he saw while operating a motor vehicle, driving past an SS office at 25 to 35 mph, in traffic. Mr. nit wit did not stop and talk to the people he claims he saw walking out with wads of cash, in fact Mr.nit wit sped up because he didn't feel safe with all these dark brown people on the side walk. Mr. nit wit couldn't understand why everyone dumped on him for telling the truth about what he saw and because he saw it, then all other information is wrong. That is what is wrong with these people they live in their own little worlds made up inside their brain damaged minds.

Edited to add traffic.

This was the one in Burbank, but they just plain screwed up and would not take responsibility for it.

14. In other words:

Her detractors offered substantive criticism, and her supporters called them names.

16. That Meg. Making new friends pert near everyplace she

18. LOL! She's a real charmer. nt

19. Every new day there is an atrocity committed by Nutmeg that tops her previous feats.

Again, I am not surprised that she is hated in California. She has no feeling for the spirit of the state or its people. The best she can do is to plunder California's riches just like Carly Fiorina and let the people and infrastructure suffer. Both women forget that Arnold and Enron both sucked the state dry while letting everything fall to pieces.

After seven years of Schwartzenegger, is it no surprise NutMeg was met with howls of hate?

People are still trying to get over California being compared to Texas in the debates.
