Hillary Slaps Iowa Voter
The American Spectator. ^ | October 8, 2007 | Philip Klein

NEW HAMPTON, Iowa -- Hillary Clinton is working hard to counter her image as an arrogant Ice Queen. At campaign stops, she laughs at her own jokes and regales the audience with tales of herself as a little girl who stared into the sky with binoculars hoping to catch a glimpse of Sputnik as it passed by.

"Give me a fair reading as to who I am, not who somebody says I am," Clinton pleaded with a room full of Iowa voters as she wrapped up her remarks at a campaign stop here on Sunday.

But just moments later, in a rare stumble for her highly-choreographed campaign, Clinton demonstrated that people's long-standing impressions of her are right on target.

During the question and answer period, Randall Rolph, a retired Democratic voter from Nashua, Iowa, confronted Clinton on her recent vote in favor of a U.S. Senate resolution calling on the Bush administration to declare Iran's Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. The measure has been greeted with suspicion by war critics who view it as a document that President Bush could use as a pretext to launch an attack on Iran.

"Why should I support your candidacy if you haven't learned from the past?" Rolph asked, referring to her 2002 vote to authorize the use of military force in Iraq.

Clinton first thanked him and then countered that, "the premise of the question is wrong." So far, so good. But after offering a description of what was in the resolution, Clinton smugly and dismissively accused him of having been fed the information, saying "obviously somebody sent [it] to you."

Rolph didn't let it pass. "I take exception, this is my own research..."

"Well, then let me finish telling you..." Clinton screamed.(continued)

You'll never read about this in the MSM, mark my words. We might want to e-mail it to Rush, Hannity, Glen, etc...

Actually, I have read it about three different places already. I don't think it's that big a deal, either.

Rooting for the home team?

"It was an insult," he fumed following the event. "It was basically calling me stupid. That I can't think on my own. That I don't have the ability to research or come up with a coherent or concrete thought on my own. How dare she!"

He continued, "She never did answer the question. She just, what I say is, bitch-slapped me."

Whether this incident does any damage to the well-oiled Clinton machine remains to be seen. But one thing it does make clear is that no matter how scripted Hillary is, over the course of a long campaign, she will not be able to mask her contempt for average Americans who dare to challenge her.

Hillary’s not very smart. Her handlers will labor with all their might and main to keep this embarrassing fact a secret. Over the course of a long Presidential campaign, they won’t be able to.

This happened with one of her own people.

Just think what she has in store for us.

Welcome to the right wing conspiracy - I want to thank DOUCHE BAGS like yourself for sticking us with the Bitch Queen for eight more years...

Singularity is protected under the 1sr Amendment......but not at Hillary’s campaign appearances.

Disharmony in the orchestrated presidential presentation.

They are right. She’ll never make it to election day. If she does, she’ll be toast.

What, she didn’t answer the question after all that? I’m shocked, shocked. Okay, enough with the sarcasm. Does she ever actually answer the question?

I swear this woman is paranoid and stupid. I can’t believe she would actually say that while professing to understand all and is the Mother of all forgivers. Her manner sounds som much like the Nazis or some kind of dictatorship.

Woe for the ones that actually vote for her. They really don’t see what she is doing. They will be the first ones to the prison camps.

Frankly, I’m stunned she’s made it this far, but then again, the Dem debates haven’t exactly been rough.

I have no doubt at all that she’ll eventually go goofy in public.

So there was no actual slap? The headline doesn’t deliver what it promises.

A questioner gets shouted down, that’s a long way from being physically slapped. That this liberal puke thinks he’s been bitch-slapped, well, boo hoo.

If there’s no video of this where she rants or screams, I don’t see where this will have any political impact at all.

I was eight years old when Sputnik was lauched. We went outside one evening and observed it going over head WITH THE NAKED EYE.

Poor Hillary, she comes up with these lame “I am the common person” stories and they make her look like a moron every time.

I’m not saying you couldn’t use the binoculars to observe, but finding Sputnik with them would have been very difficult.

Sputnik appeared as a dim star crossing the night sky. It was easy to spot because of it’s noticable movement.

Any video has been destroyed no doubt. Just what was it last year when the H-beast collapsed/fainted during a speech. No video.

I don’t like it when the left or right make false claims. The “slap” was a reference to a supposed “bitch slap” by Hillary, a verbal put-down. As you stated, it didn’t live up the the hype of the title. All this would do is make folks think the right was unfair to Hillary, a position that would make them less likely to listen when there is a bonified problem in the future.

No one will know about this Hillary freak out. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it .....

Of course the drive byes would be on this full tilt if any republican candidate was involved

She has always struck me as not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, despite all the “smartest woman in the world” propoganda her supporters push.
