I had heard Gary Aldrich speak when he was on his book tour in 1996. As a combination of being on our congressman's list of having donated to his campaign and his desire to have a big turnout, we got invited to an hors d'oeuvre reception where Aldrich gave a short speech—and this Christmas tree incident comprised about half of his speech. At the time, it was really shocking! FFwd five years; I'd signed up for home internet and was learning my way around the forums and message boards that would have been taboo at work. I was talking about Hillary's tree decor that first Christmas online and dang! if there wasn't a sizable slice of other Republicans who thought I was being mean and exaggerating! They excused/blamed it largely on the art schools. (Shortly after, I left the GOP to become Independent) That was my first real experience & attempt at waking up people I met online. —and this stuff is mild compared with the stuff I found on her when she was Secy of State. We did not dodge a bullet; we dodged a MOAB.

The links on her activities were shocking to me and I thought I knew most of it. MOAB is correct.
