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.

None of this rings true. Hillary is NOT a good debater. She is not quick on her feet. She is NOT accomodating and reasonable.

BINGO!!...thus we are served "the cackle"

Requiring the willful suspension of disbelief. I want to see transcripts before I buy this sh*t.

Mrs. Clinton is able to spar with an unruly Iowan, therefore, she is surely Commander-in-Chief material

Yes, what 'rat-pansies like to call "a Churchillian moment."

Clinton: "Sorry, I haven't been schooled on that question. You must be wrong. "

So Rolph supports burying our heads in the sand until the Iranian threat is at our doorsteps?

Typically naive and ignorant democrat.
