Bill Clinton Slap

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.

Bill and Hillary think they can just pick on anyone they want to. She thinks she should be crowned Queen of America and Bill thinks people should feel privleged to be in his company.
But all the do is get on everyones nerves.
They are annoying and scartastic. I am surprised no one has popped them so far.

Bill needs to chill.

Some bourbon. A cigar left over from Monica, perhaps.

Dim the lights, put on his fave bluegrass, and lie back, meditate on this mantra:

OOOOO BAAAAAAAAAA MAAAAAAAAAA.

Really, Bill. It's very soothing.

The Freedom of Speech can always lead to emotional exchanges when done face to face as part of a confrontation. What I like about this encounter is that the freedom was preserved and no one got tazed, even though the more chicken shit of our countrymen (republicans)would surly have seen an imminent threat and felt the need to go invade the nearest population center two states over and liberate them.

Yelling during a speech does not protected freedom of speech.

A heckler shouts Obama's name throughout the former President's speech and subsequently "demands" that the campaign return to civility?


Insert irony here.

This is the 'change' and 'unity' that Obama has 'inspired' in his lemmings.

Seafarer61, I do not agree with the hecklers behavoir. But please do not suggest that Bill Clinton deserves deference as a "former President" when he is dishonestly attacking a well-qualified candidate in a presidential primary, based on the self-interest of getting HIS WIFE elected.

Bill Clinton demeaned the stature of the presidency during his tenure, and is now demeaning the stature of former presidents.

When Bill Clinton acts like a ruthless, lying poltical hack, he abdicates his status as a senior statesman.

Of course I expect such discourse from an Obama supporter. You folks think any critical assessment of your candidate's record is "attacking" him. Poor defensiveless Obama...the shame...the shame on those nasty wittle Clintons for exposing the community organizer's voting record.

Is that confirmed that it was his finger that Clinton pointed? He has been known to point other [ahem] things. When he gets really irate, he wags his finger. But, then, he's been known to wag other things, too. Seriously, it's nice to see a man go after someone whom he perceives as betraying his wife.

A visceral, gut reaction from Bill Clinton...honest, angry, pissed off...and damn...I do wish it were HIM on the ballot and not his wife.

Obama was HOPING Bill hit him in the face so he could CHANGE some more of the vaccuous minds of libs.

"He even hit me in the face! He gave me a little pop!!!" Yeah, right. Let's see the footage. The guy was obviously wanted to provoke Clinton to make him look bad and Clinton pointed at him and some wind from Clintons' arm made contact with the loons face. God these Obama people remind me of Rajneeshis!

At this point I don't really care which of them gets the nomination but I think it would be great to see Obama lose just to see all his maniacial supporters all blow a gasket at once.

rwferr,

I am quickly coming to the hope that the Clintons win the nomination so the can face the relentless Republican attack machine. This nation has no idea exactly how the Clintons made their mega-million dollar fortune, are what Bill's been doing with his days and nights since leaving office. The Clintons deserve whatever they get.

So the guy heckles Clinton all throughout his speech then runs to the ropeline to give him a piece of his mind about civility in the campaign? "oy!" Psychotic bastard!

The Clintons are their own reality TV series. They love attention, no matter how dysfunctional it is. Our country will be worse off having to deal with a summer and fall of them much less four years. It's an unhealthy relationship that we must stay away from:

Hillary the victim who manipulates the truth.
Bill the attacker who lies to your face.

Their supporters who defend everything they say and do, much like the 30% still supporting Dubya. America, let's walk away from them and never look back. We'll be so much better for it.

I have to admit, I'm the farthest thing from a supporter of Sen. Clinton as you can imagine on these comment sections, but this guy sounds like a wingnut who probably came within an inch of getting wrestled to the ground by the Secret Service.

The idea the he was planted by anybody is ludicrous. You don't recruit screwballs like that, simply because they can't be controlled.

I don't think the American people are willing to give the Clinton's another political pen so they can re-write history or Mr. Clinton's legacy. The word "change" really means something this year.
