The Hecklers

[Enraged American]

I've seen lots of people disregard the hecklers as just Larouchians, but even if they were Larouchians, one of the hecklers during Joe Lieberman's second heckling got a lot of applause. I can't be the only one who noticed that. Maybe they said something interesting. Does anyone know what exactly the hecklers said?

1. I thought the applause was for the security guys

after kicking out the hecklers...

2. I doubt it.

Remember that a lot of the people attending were black college students, and they booed the daylights out of Lieberman for his pro-Israeli rhetoric. I think the heckler said something anti-Israeli that got crowd support.

3. booed the daylights out of him?

hardly...

besides, they clapped after each of the hecklers were 'escorted'

but I guess the CBC is full of anti-Israel sentiment? I was unaware...

4. They booed.

During his little debate with Dean the audience booed and moaned at his rhetoric. Booing is generally not done at debates. What normally happens when a candidate is hated is slow, weak clapping. In Lieberman's case, the crowd reaction was extreme.

For a political debate it was a horrible reaction. It's not the WWF for crissake.

5. lol, I remember him getting boos in the first debate..

during his introduction :evilgrin:

we don't hate Joe because of his faith or ethnicity, that is certain. He's hated for the same reasons Bush is, essentially

6. The first (and second?) heckler was attacking Crashcart.

It's a natural reaction to support Cheney-bashing. As soon as LaRouche's name was mentioned...party over.

7. Who's Crashcart?

and why would the heckler have been bashing Cheney? Cheney wasn't even at the debate.
