Obama Supporter Claims Bill Clinton Hit Him In The Face

MSNBC News:

Robert Holeman came to Timken High School here today with a message to deliver to Bill Clinton. He did -- and he said the former president wasn't happy about it....

...Holeman said that Clinton responded by saying Obama came after him first. Holeman also described Clinton's reaction to him as "irate."

"I think he even hit me in the face with his hand," he said. "He did give me a little pop. It was okay, because I understand his tenacity for his wife." Clinton did engage Holeman for a few minutes, at times pointing directly at him. It was unclear whether he did make physical contact, however.

I hope Bill punched in the face. He was a jerk the whole time and then to come up to Bill afterwards just shows how classless he was.

You know, I can't find one person who the sold called Muslem email. Have anyone of you ever seen it or gotten it? Only respond if you are not an Obama minion because you will all say you saw 10,000 of them. This is a serious question.

So Ike, your from Chicago, right? Can you tell me one thing BHO did to make your life better while he was in the IL State Senate? I really want to know.

To Huffington Post:

I want you to know you're turning a lot of people in favor of the Clintons by your intense and unfair biased reporting against them.

You may just defeat your own purposes here.

You'd better be careful.

Wow, you clinton lovers/barack haters have it all figured out don't you? Vote for Hillary and watch McCain take on the Clintons and all their history. It will be a cake walk for him and you are feeding into their b.s. so be it, it shows that most can't handle the truth or change. Get us ensconced in never ending wars, deaths by the millions and an economy, you'll be lucky to buy bread.You had a chance to change the government that has been self serving and corrupt and opt for that continuance.A new day dawned and you slept through it.

No, Obama supporters just assume the crap that was thrown at both Clintons in the '90s was true. Aside from Monica, it wasn't. None of it.

As a STRONG Obama supporter-
I think President Clinton should have smacked the shit out of the dude.

So Clinton supporters believe that anyone who does not follow their party line should be beaten down?

He thinks he got hit? Duh! You either got hit or you didn't. What a load of obamabullshit

Bill Clinton keeps stealing the headlines while his wife's policies and ideas get less and less attention. Sorry Bill - it is not about you. If you really want to help your wife: ZIP-IT

This is all a conspiracy. That heckler was bought and paid for by Halliburton and takes orders from Cheney. Prepare for the November 2008 revolution. Bush and Cheney in power for life. It's a conspiracy -don't let this one go!

No, He was just one of those rabid Obama supporters, I saw the guy on TV, the guy sounded like he was on crack or something

"I think he even hit me in the face with his hand," he said.

Maybe it's just me, but if a former president of the United States hit me in the face, I think I'd KNOW.

I wish I'd been there. Bill could have watched me kick the pissy little heckler in the nuts before he got anywhere near the receiving line.
Seems to me, Obama fans behave more childishly than McCain fans. But then, McCain fans tend to be too old to stir up any shit.

If I were there I would point out to Bill that if he had kept his pants zipped up Al Gore would now be President and we would not be in the Iraqi quagmire. I assume he would have beaten the shit out of me for that.

[CaptainVideo]

And the Obama campaign would not have put me up to it. I would be acting on my own initiative.

I defended Bill during the Monica mess. The more I think back about it, the more I resent that I was in a position that I had to. But while what Bill did in lying about the incidents was despicable, it was not an impeachable offense.

[CaliforniaDem]

If Al Gore had not listened to Donna Brazile and had run on the Clinton/Gore record he would have been elected President. In fact, it was that advice to distance himself that cost him.

It's Dirty Politics Tricks - Obama style.

The Obama Campaign is sending out their Obama-bots to Bill Clinton's events to heckle him.

They know the cameras are always around Bill and that he's likely to lose his temper -- then the clip will make it to TV News like it did this morning.

How do I know this? My husband heard it from an Obama-bot at work who volunteers for BO's campaign.

You see, unlike those of us who have voted in more than one election,. Obama-bots talk about their You-Tube Candidate all day long at work.

And they have successfully turned off Democtars at my Husband's office.

Now my husband is smart enough to keep mum on politics at the job. All he's revealed is that he's a Democrat.

So his office-Obamabot has assumed my husband and I support BO.

This morning he revealed that the Bill Heckler was an Obama plant sent to make Bill look bad. He also said to watch the news for more Obama hecklers makig Bill lose his cool on TV.

Sure enough, there's a second report today.

Seems Saint Obama will used the oldest durty tricks in the book to get elected.

Someone in your husbands office said it was a plant?Wow.Can't get better proof than that.

These little morons do this stuff on their own, not by direction from Obama, these people have followed politics for about 15 minutes and don't have a clue about anything. Obama is a front for the ultra-rich eastern liberals, the David Rockerfeller crew that put a unknown weak and indecisive Jimmy Carter in the White House in 1976. Jimmy's National Security Advisor, Ziggy Brzezinski, is an Obama advisor and brings all the money and power of the rich Internationalists. I knew that Brzezinski was an Obama advisor, as is his son, from listening to daughter Mika on the Morning Joe on MSNBC. But when I saw a piece in the NEW YORK MAG. (nymag.com) April 16, 2007 called "Money Chooses Sides" and saw the photo of Grorge Soros at an Obama fundraiser it became clear to me. It's 1976 all over again, unknown becomes a Rock Star so quickly, when you have the media on your side anything is possible.

It was indeed an old trick, and I'm sure that both campaigns have "plants" at their opponent's rallies. This has been going on since campaign rallies have been going on. The challenge is for the candidate, or in this case the candidate's surrogate, to control himself and to respond appropriately, which will reflect on both the candidate and the integrity of the campaign itself. No one "made" Bill Clinton look bad. He did that all by himself.

Every time Bill does something stupid the same Clinton worshipers come out of the woodwork to fight the old battles from the 90's . Obama is not Ken Starr, his supporters are not Karl Rove or right wing republicans.
The amount of hate reserved for Obama supporters only shows how desperate you repug trolls are getting cause your dream of uniting your party against Hillary is disappearing.
I refuse to believe all the belittling comments made about us" kool- aid drinkers" come from fellow democrats and progressives.

[pleeezzze]

01:58 PM on 02/18/2008

I think you are mistaken !!
KKKRove seems to definitely be working for Obama, otherwise why these Gross attacks on Clintons ?????? nearly all from Obama fans ,not Repugs !!!

[TRYKER]

02:27 AM on 02/19/2008

False flag attacks...right-wing trolls masquerading as Obama-ites are all over the country in every medium, another bunch working as Clinton-ites creating chaos and confusion and division.

Every one that claims to be a liberal dem and then pulls a neocon play...probably isn't a liberal progressive Dem...Duh.

I don't even believe the story. It's not what is seen on tape.

The kid is lying. But more patehtically. The press is reporting it.

Stupid.
