If this guy was a plant, it was to help Hillary by making her look moderate and tough on terrorism.
I’m a little surprised at, well, a LOT of the posts on this thread. Maybe because I actually read the article! This guy was a commie nutjob who thought we should roll over and play dead for Iran and have kept out of Iraq. The legislation she’s being criticized for here allows Bush to take a harder line against Iran.
The more these moveon type morons attack Hillary for being too much of a warmonger, the more appealing she appears to uninformed voters.
There are a lot like that in this country - they're called "the democrat base".
