While on the stump, Bill Clinton SLAMS MIHOP guy, then tells him to go away

[ecstatic]

And the guy was so humiliated that he left!

When the crowd tried to boo the man into silence, Clinton continued: "Let him talk."

The heckler's exact wording wasn't quite audible from the press risers, but the tone was apparent to everyone in the arena, including Clinton.

“Are you one of those it was an inside job guys?" the former president asked. Continuing, "Hillary agrees we should end the war, but we have heard from you now, now you hear from me. I let you be rude and interrupt me screaming at the top of your lungs. Nine-eleven was NOT an inside job, it was an Osama Bin Laden job with 19 people from Saudi Arabia, they murdered 3000 Americans and others foreigners including Muslims and we look like idiots, that the people who murdered our fellow citizens did it, when they are continuing to murder other people around the world. So we heard from you, you go away," Clinton said to the cheering crowd.

1. Well, he is the Cover Up Kid who has diligently been serving bushco since '92

[librechik]

2. shut up and subscribe to The Official Conspiracy Theory--or else!

[roguevalley]

3. He's become brittle over the years since the Presidency. He used

to have more grace than this. TOo bad. THe power differential is unequal. he should have been nice to the guy and to those watching.

8. Yeah, here's a better approach.

"When Americans don't have accurate information to know what's going on, all kinds of rumors like this are going to take shape. I don't believe these rumors are true, but I do believe that we can do a much better job keeping the American people informed of the truth than Bush has done with his secretive and opaque admininstration".

That's all it takes...But maybe this guy was being an asshole though...But the reason millions believe the 9/11 stuff is all the secrecy of the Bush admin. These kind of fungus grow in dark places.

12. Good point. nt

[newmajority]

17. Well, that and the fact that everything they told us AFTER 9-11 has been proven to be lies

And they lied BEFORE 9-11 (i.e. the Florida fraud). So maybe what they told us ABOUT 9-11 was a lie as well?

[lvx35]

18. Bush is where the blame should lie.

Even so people need to separate "Bush was lying about 9/11" from "Bush planned 9/11".

[RC]

19. No, the reason millions believe the rumors is because the official story

has too many holes in it.
With more hole appearing as time goes on. The bu$h administration's secrecy is because they knew beforehand something was going down and at a minimum let it happen.
Four planes off course, with transponders off for two and one half hours before two lone air force planes were allowed in the air from an air base 110 miles away. There is an air base with TWO wings 10 miles from WDC, that should have been in the air immediately. They were not. Why? That should raise a few more eye brows that it seems to do.

14. Bullocks..

Bill is a Pro at handling the crowds. Any heckler having the nerve to interrupt a former President's speech deserves what he gets..And Bill was gracious enough to hear and answer his question regarding 911.

Furthermore, unlike John Kerry while giving a speech at a University Campus when heckled by a student; Kerry then stood there (with a deer in the headlights look) and watched Security physically man-handle the student to the ground and NEVER let him speak or did he answer the heckler's statement.

4. He can't very well say anything else...

Whilst stumping for his wife, now, can he?

I do like the "we look like idiots" bit though;)

[bahrbearian]

5. I'm suprised he didn't say Sadam and the Iraq's pulled it off.

[KennedyGuy]

6. So..Bill takes on A HECKLER? and this is bad?

[tridim]

7. Got any proof Bill?

No? Didn't think so.

[jlake]

9. Bill takes on the nutjobs and wins!

[cali]

10. Leahy articulated LIHOP on the floor clearly a few days ago

to say that I trust Pat over Bill, is a humongous understatement.

[frogmarch]

11. Good for Bill. nt

[jillan]

13. I watched it on c-span, and it really wasn't that bad.

Bill was talking and that guy started yelling, interrupting Bill. B Clinton needs to learn to deal with people like that in a more respectful way. He should have just thanked him for his opinion and moved on.

whatever :shrug:

[Proud2BAmurkin]

"9/11 wasn't an inside job." yeah Americans are going to hate that.

[BlackVelvet04]

15. he showed him the courtesy of letting him

talk and then Bill said what he had to say.

If you want a republican president all you have to do is have democrats running around the country talking about 9/11 being an inside job.

[newmajority]

16. Bill should quit hanging around with Poppy Bush and do some research

There's no way he's dumb enough to believe that "19 idiots with razor blades" story.

[indepat]

20. Not only was it not MIHOP, it also was not even LIHOP for every possible initiative was

taken by the administration to thwart a known impending attack. Even Rummy sat in his office in the Pentagon oblivious to the events of the day until that third airplane slammed into the Pentagon. Now take that. :D
