Bill Clinton Gets Irate & Slaps Obama Supporter? … Is Bill Clinton trying to Sabotage Hillary’s Campaign?

Is Bill Clinton purposely trying to sabotage Hillary Clinton’s campaign or has he

just become a crotchety old man? No matter how some ill mannered person acts at a campaign stop, is this how a former president is supposed to conduct themselves?
Today at an event in Ohio, Obama supporter Robert Holeman got under the skin of Bill Clinton during the event. It is being reported that Bill Clinton smacked a rude Obama supporter in the face. The LEFT can defend Bill Clinton’s actions all they want and blame the heckler … the fact of the matter is that one would hope that a former President of the United States has a bit more decorum than to respond in this manner. We can only thank God that Clinton never had to handle a post 9–11 world while in office.

“I asked the president to please stop the bickering between the campaigns,” Holeman said in an interview afterwards. “All this name calling is like the bully in the yard. He can’t get his way, he can’t get nothing done.” Holeman said he thought Clinton was “gasping for air.”

“This is the last hurrah. After March 4, Hillary Clinton will be out of the race for good, and Obama will take the commanding lead,” he said. “She should back him with her delegates immediately. That’s what I’m asking them to do.”
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 this sinks Hillary's campaign. The Clinton's are way too sold on themselves to be taken seriously, anymore.

Oh give me a break!!!! "It is being reported...." Guess that makes it fact! And thank God the media has been out there to tell us how it's really Bill running at every opportunity---God knows Senator Clinton has no qualifications or redeeming qualities. (That's sarcasm, for those who literally believe everything they read). If this guy was really there to ask Bill to stop the bickering, as he says, then why was it also "reported" but conveniently left out of this piece that he heckled, and chanted "Obama" during Bill's entire stump? Gee, that's really likely to engender warm and fuzzy feelings.

The character assassination is so old, as is the propaganda. Opinion apparently sells, so that's what the media gives us. The scary thing is fewer and fewer people can recognize it for what it is. Can't we just get the news, and draw our own conclusions? No, they've gotta keep planting the seed "they're evil...power-hungry...she's negative....she's done." I was totally surprised to find out weeks ago that she was still leading at the time---from everything I was hearing in the media you'd think she'd been trailing all along, and was hanging on by a thread.

so im sure there's some sort of photographic evidence, right?

Sad to see these two fighting such bitterly amongst themselves. I realize it comes with the territory but such animosities will only embolden the right wingers.

I don't know if I believe that Bill hauled off and slapped an Obama supporter. But, then again, with the way the Clintons have been conducting themselves in this campaign, nothing would surprise me anymore. Hillary's got this sense of entitlement to the presidency, like George Bush, and Bill's like a dog in heat trying to give it to her on a silver platter.

I don't believe Bill hit this guy, but I'd love to see a tape of it. It is getting dirty, and who really knows if this guy is actually an Obama supporter... This is getting too ugly for my liking!

^^Same here. This war between Obama and Hillary is going to get even dirtier. That's why I'll be glad when a nominee is chosen, hopefully Obama, and we can focus on the REAL election.

nycgirly · February 18th, 2008, 03:21 PM

I'll believe it when I see a video or photo evidence

I hope so...however, I have family in Ohio and they are getting all kinds of crazy crap about Obama. I sent them a link to his site...Reading and research is fundamental!

Not surprising. That's probably one of the reasons why Hillary is leading in Ohio and Texas.

As for the Clintons, they are the Bush's of the democrat party. Its time for them to go, just like Bush.

You're right. The Clintons have become the Bush family of the Democratic party. Time to go.

And that video shows Bill IS out of control. He's probably scared shitless, knowing what Hillary's going to do to him if she doesn't become president. First, Monica, and now this.

Bill also went off on pro-life protesters at some speech he was giving. He looked completely feral.

I hate hecklers. They deserve everything they get. And if Bill kicks some pro lifer ass, I'll love him forever.

The pro Obama bias in the media is sickening. They're treating Obama like the second coming. Personally, I wouldn't trust someone whose retoric is about making people "believe". I want a leader with clear visions and goals and not a preacher. The US will be making a huge mistake if they elect Obama over Hillary. IMHO, of course. I understand that there are Obama supporters here and I respect their opinions.
