2008 presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was heckled by a crowd of high school and college-age students in her hometown of Chicago yesterday, with ABC News reporting that security guards eventually "dragged some of the protesters out of the auditorium."
The former first lady was onstage only a few seconds when the crowd erupted with shouts of: "Troops out now! Troops out now!"
As anti-war leaflets poured from one balcony, umbrellas were unfurled from another displaying the message, "Out of Iraq."
Mrs. Clinton initially tried to bargain with her critics, pleading: "Give me a chance and I'll address that if you'll then be quiet."
But as the heckling continued, security guards pounced on at least two protesters and dragged them away.
After delivering her prepared remarks, Mrs. Clinton returned to the subject of Iraq.
"I disagree with those who believe we should immediately pull out," she told the crowd. "And I disagree with those who say we should stay there forever."
Then, looking pained and closing her eyes briefly, the former first lady said: "It would be wonderful if we could turn the clock back - but we cannot."
"I disagree with those who say we should stay there forever."
I have never heard anyone say that.....
Just give me a chance to say something that gives something to everyone. Hillary is toast.
Awwwww shucks ... how touching ......
Nobody ever has she is just being a liar and a whore......nothing new here.
Love it!
The "Queen" has been trying to straddle the fence and her "subjects" are not putting up with it--get a taste of that now, Hillary, 'cause there is gonna be lots of that in '08...
I say Hillary is up to something. We need to figure out what it is.
"crowd of high school and college-age students"
The smartest people in the world. And they don't vote. Great way to waste your time, Hill.
I say that we should stay there forever! How dare Hillary disagree with me!
I have never heard anyone say that.....
I think they're friends with the ones who call her unpatriotic.
Kinda like Little Dick Gephardt's imaginary friends that talk to him.
Kurds gassed by Saddam
Ah, for the good ol' days.
Wanna bet those protesters disappear into a woodchipper, courtesy of Hitlery's goon squad?
Well if we do stay forever maybe we could get some good deals on petro.....Heck we could even put up a Walmart
Who said that!
I couldn't be happier about the prospects of her running in '08. We can't lose.
Staged by Hillary2008.
I have never heard anyone say that.....
I think she was referring to Roosevelt and Eisenhower about Germany.
Or maybe it was MacArthur and Japan. I can never remember.
