Hillary Clinton Watch: Coffin Delays Hillary Sacramento Fundraiser

Hillary Clinton’s fundraiser in Sacramento, California was delayed for three hours yesterday while the Sacramento County bomb squad investigated a coffin brought into the area by anti-Iraq War activists Virginia and Stephen Pearcy.

Anti-war activists Virginia and Stephen Pearcy, who made headlines in February 2005 for hanging an effigy of a soldier on their Land Park area home, brought a flag-draped coffin as a protest against United States involvement in Iraq.

Shortly before 6 p.m. Thursday, the Secret Service began to conduct a sweep of the area and asked to look inside the coffin. Pearcy refused, stating that they had no probable cause to do so. This prompted the Secret Service to call in local law enforcement and a bomb squad.

Former state Treasurer Phil Angelides, along with about 120 other guests set to attend the fundraiser, had to wait several hours before being ushered through a neighbor’s back yard to get to the event.

Around 9 p.m., the all-clear was given by the bomb squad, and the motorcade carrying Clinton arrived at the event.

The $500- to $4,600-per-person campaign fundraiser was being held at the home of real estate developer Eleni Tsakopoulos-Kounalakis and Markos Kounalakis.

Remember Virginia and Stephen Pearcy?

First, there was the effigy outside their home in Sacramento:

Next, there was Pearcy’s toilet art:

Flap supposes the Pearcy’s are NOT big Hillary Clinton supporters.

Wonder if the Secret Service or local police will seek reimbursement for public costs associated with this protest?

Probably not…..

    You are right, Kate.

    But, it was great that Phil Angelides the Democrat candidate for Governor who was beaten by Arnold had to wade through the brush to get to Hillary’s fundraiser.

    Hillary will have more problems with the LEFT on her presidential run. She is not LEFTY enough for George Soros and his crowd.
