So Much For Sympathy: Clinton Booed Over Immigration At Forum

Des Moines Register:

The people got more microphone time than the politicians.

Five Democratic presidential candidates who spoke at the Heartland Presidential Forum Saturday in Des Moines could do little more than nod and listen as person after person - mostly out-of-state residents - shared emotional stories of perceived injustice.

And the audience of 3,600 did not hesitate to express emotion. As they listened to descriptions of loss of health insurance, the stench of a nearby factory farm, or a family split up by immigration officials, the crowd frequently yelled out: "That ain't right!" and booed.

Hillary Clinton, a U.S. senator from New York, felt the glare of their displeasure after Billy Lawless, a Chicago immigrations rights organizer, asked her if she'd commit to giving undocumented workers a path to citizenship in her first 100 days as president.

We hate Hillary and we will continue to hate her in spite of all advertising campaigns. Advertising got me to buy prunes, but not even the power of advertising can sell an Edsel.

I have a great deal of trouble believing that she was booed because they want her to give amnesty in the first 100 days. Unless, of course, most of those booing were bussed in by far-left groups.

It'd be great if people would start going to her events and trying to ask her this question, then uploaded her response:

Somehow I don't think she's going to have a good answer for that question.

It's too bad this forum wasn't televised. Would have been probably the best forum/debate to date. The voice of the people was heard...Hillary got booed - Kucinich was strong.

Would loved to have seen it!!!!!
