Bill Spars With Obama Supporter (Claims Clinton Hit Him)
MSNBC ^ | February 17, 2008

Posted on 02/17/2008 2:55:40 PM PST by RWR8189

CANTON, OH -- Robert Holeman came to Timken High School here today with a message to deliver to Bill Clinton. He did -- and he said the former president wasn’t happy about it.

Clinton spoke to a capacity crowd in this Northeast Ohio town, the third of five events today in the Buckeye State. He told voters that the contest was “the power of speeches against the promise of solutions by a world-class change maker.”

Throughout the event, as Clinton made his case for his wife, Holeman’s dissenting voice could be heard. At times he simply shouted Obama’s name. When Clinton would set up a sure applause line, Holeman could be heard heckling. As soon as Clinton finished speaking, the Canton native made a beeline to the ropeline to give Clinton a piece of his mind.

Holeman said that Clinton responded by saying Obama came after him first. Holeman also described Clinton’s reaction to him as “irate.”

“I think he even hit me in the face with his hand,” he said. “He did give me a little pop. It was okay, because I understand his tenacity for his wife.” Clinton did engage Holeman for a few minutes, at times pointing directly at him. It was unclear whether he did make physical contact, however.

Clintoon belongs in a padded cell, with eyes taped open watching An Inconvenient Truth.

“I think he even hit me in the face with his hand,” he said.

What? He doesn't know whether he did or not?

Probably waiting for the guy to get a couple good licks in before they pulled Bubba away.

Hecklers are annoying and down right rude.

Code Pink per example.

And the poor fool “thinks” Bill hit him?

This is a non non story.

If he was a true Obama supporter he would of fainted when Bill ripped on him.

Cocaine or not, he's got a skyrocketing bloodsugar problem and has been spending too much time on the road. As every Type II diabetic knows travel can be a killer.

What we should expect next is another holiday for federal employees.

“Clinton did engage Holeman for a few minutes, at times pointing directly at him.”

Clinton body language for “how dare you little peon challenge me or my wife. We are untouchable, know more than you could ever dream and it sullies my conscience to have to address you”

I would imagine the Secret Service detail, was doing just what Bill Clinton wanted, standing off to the side allowing this plant to do his job.

Thats the only explanation otherwise they would have removed him

I surmised Bill’s problem is alcohol — as the gin-blossom WC-Fields nose and rosy drinker’s rash across his face spreads.

There were some Freeper Medical types a while back speaking on a thread about the possibility Bill has some brain damage post his heart issues/surgery.

I am not a doctor, darned if I know, but this anger on top of the brain damage potential, at average citizens in a campaign of all places, is looking so seedy and unhinged and no one in the Dyno-Media will go near it.

Something is not right here....

["Clinton spoke to a capacity crowd in this Northeast Ohio town, the third of five events today in the Buckeye State. He told voters that the contest was “the power of speeches against the promise of solutions by a world-class change maker.”"]

I'm having difficulty recalling any "world-class" changes that Hillary has achieved.

“What we should expect next is another holiday for federal employees.”

Then we’ll see Hillary cry again.
