CLINTON GETS SNIPPY WITH IOWAN OVER IRAN
Chuck Todd
From NBC/NJ's Athena Jones NEW HAMPTON, Iowa -- At a campaign stop here, Hillary Clinton sparred verbally for several minutes with a man who pressed her on her recent vote to call Iran's army a terrorist organization. Randall Rolph, from nearby Nashua, asked why he should support Clinton's candidacy when she did not appear to have learned any lessons from having voted to authorize force in Iraq. Clinton thanked him for the question and explained her Iran vote would lay the groundwork for using diplomacy and sanctions to pressure that government. Clinton accused the man of being a plant who had been sent to ask the question, to which he took exception, saying the question was a result of his own research. "I apologize," Clinton said, explaining that she had been asked the very same question in three other places. The crowd applauded when the senator ended the back and forth by saying the two had a disagreement and offering to put Rolph in touch with her staff, who could provide him with the text of the legislation, which she suggested he had misunderstood. After taking several more questions, Clinton ended by saying she valued these kinds of conversations and urging Iowans to support her in the caucuses. "I'm taking nothing for granted," she said. "I hope I'll be able to earn your support." Rolph said after the event that he was a registered Democrat who had come with an open mind but that he would not be supporting Clinton after the way she responded. "Who in this room believes we aren't going to attack Iran before Bush leaves office?" Rolph said.

I hope he keeps his doors locked now....
As CIC, this wench would be a disaster for our armed forces.
The Clintons always accuse and strike back. I’m sure she just loves being put into situations like that. Yeah, right.
Attack Iran?
I am thinking Harry Reid is going to offer them Most Favored Nat9ion trading status.
Yeah, the guy was a “plant”. LOL! Hillary will order him terminated in Ft. Marcy Park.
I hope he keeps his doors locked now....
His odds of breathing much longer just went down in Vegas. The poor fella is toast. Vince Foster and Ron Brown are about to have company.
“’Who in this room believes we aren’t going to attack Iran before Bush leaves office?’ Rolph said.”
Oh, I hope so.
It happens everywhere else in the world, a coup here is inevitable.
If, and I mean a big IF, there is a real debate between Her Hillness and a real Republican, she won’t stand a chance. Her handlers will protect her though. Anyone who has a brain can see she is such a control freak she can’t answer a thoughtful question even from members of her own party. God help us all if this monster and her evil master (Bill) get into office. The US won’t survive.
He should be asking, Who in this room believes we aren't going to try to put this treacherous B in the oval office before she's arrested?"
Yeah, that'll work. Let's get the U.N. on that right away.
Damn that VRW conspiracy!
That like townhall rule number one, never accuse everyone of being a plant.

Have you now. That's interesting.
“Clinton accused the man of being a plant who had been sent to ask the question”
Let’s not shoot from the hip, Hillary. Maybe that’s a bad metaphor.
The man should have replied that everyone else there is a plant, because they never ask the tough questions that she want to answer.
Can’t you hear the hum of the DNC talking points...Mrs. Clinton is able to spar with an unruly Iowan, therefore, she is surely Commander-in-Chief material. Andrea Mitchell is practicing her lines already.
Hillary was just upset that her plants didn't get to the microphone before this guy did. So much for "having conversations with Americans"...
