Hillary Clinton Will Have None Of Your Heckling

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hillary-clinton-heckler-bill-clinton_5689f2f3e4b014efe0dad04c

A state GOP lawmaker tried to confront the presidential frontrunner about Bill Clinton's assault allegations.

Hillary Clinton brushed off a heckler who repeatedly tried to ask about her husband's sexual past during a town hall in New Hampshire on Sunday.
The woman, Republican state representative Katherine Prudhomme-O’Brien, stood, yelled and waved her hands around in failed attempts to get the Democratic presidential candidate's attention. She wanted to confront the former secretary of state about President Clinton's alleged assault of Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey.
After the third try, Clinton finally acknowledged Prudhomme-O’Brien and said, "You are very rude, and I’m not going to ever call on you."
The crowd erupted in cheers of support.

1. She also claimed that she switched parties just because of Bill Clinton's indiscretion.

I guess she forgot about Newt & the several that followed him as house speaker in the 90's for the very same thing. She is like another group of people we know, you know they are lying because their lips are moving.

10. Yes but let's not forget that Kenneth Starr was originally appointed to investigate Whitewater

And found nothing.

Ultimately for the $40 million cost he produced a piece of third rate soft porn. Bill Clinton did lie under oath in civil matter that should have never been allowed to go forward in the first place. In fact the case itself was deemed to be frivolous.

It was pretty stupid of Bill, who is brilliant, to let himself get ensnared this way. But it is also stupid of WE, THE PEOPLE to tolerate this kind of investigative nonsense. No justice was served here. No point was made. It was an exercise in stupidity by the so-called "Elves" like Ann Coulter and whatever other miscreants whipped this up.

Such is the nature of "conservatism." The ideology is a scourge.

And they all had one thing in common, well more than one, the biggest one was to impeach President Bill Clinton.

Let's not forget Gingrich, who promised to always talk about Monica Lewinsky in a failed effort to save his job.

....she didn't shrink back behind her "handlers" and stand there with her hands folded, scowling.

She addressed it head on. Great!

And complain later about how unfairly she was being treated because no one will let her talk. She just handled it and moved on as a leader should.

"As I read through some of these angry comments below, I cannot help but to think of another Republican woman, my personal hero Susan B. Anthony, and how she heard the exact same sort of things in her fight for the right of women to vote.....

This while she was interrupting and heckling a WOMAN!
