MyFox LA:

Democratic Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was heckled by a member of the audience during a forum on global warming on Saturday.

Clinton was interrupted by a Code Pink antiwar demonstrator shouting that she had voted for the war in Iraq.

Taking it in stride, Clinton heckled the Code Pink antiwar demonstrator right back as he was escorted out.

I think its time we all move on about who did or didn't vote for the war in Iraq. Yes, she voted for it, it was the popular thing at the time. Most politicians, at least the ones who get voted into office, are doing what they think is most popular and will get them into office. At this point I think its best not to look back on what she did, but what she can do moving forward. I honestly think she is the best person to help our country get out of the state its in.

I'm not certain as to what I think about this

I don't disagree with the criticism of Clinton (In fact, I've voiced the same), but I question the timing and place of the protest

Leave aside the question of disrespect for the candidates (It can certainly be argued that some candidates don't DESERVE respect): What about respect for those in the audience who came to the event expecting to hear a debate about the environment? Didn't they have right to hear what they came to hear?

Well, it certainly shows you something about what Hillary thinks about participation in the democratic process of all us folks who weren't "invited to speak".

She keeps getting this sort of treatment for a good reason. She simply does not represent very many people in this nation. The "air of inevitability" has been clouding everything since anyone started running thanks to the media, who wants her as the candidate because she is so rabidly pro-corporate and is a total sellout as far as democracy is concerned.

LOL WUT

Is Hillary in charge of the comments section here, as well? We're my two comments go?

Too bad Wolf Blitzer and CNN wasn't in charge of moderating the event, as they wouldn't let Hillary be contested for even a second. That guy would've been dragged off and waterboarded

"Were you invited to speak here this afternoon?," responded a visibly perturbed Senator Clinton.

That pretty much says it all about dear Hillary. It shows her high opinion of herself, her lack of tolerance for criticism and someone else's opposing views, and her general snide personality when not on script.

(And yes, I realize that I have no right to criticize HRC because any criticism is per se chauvinist or anti-feminist.)

WTF did this guy think he was doing protesting outside of a "free speech zone" cage?
