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.

But consider this. The greasy love affair with Clinton, by the DemocRATS is over.

Watch for Clinton to get ever more erratic, angry and red-faced at these events; he needs to be loved and admired and the old road show isn't working.

Thanks for the link. If this guy is a pro-lifer, how is he an Obama supporter?

“There were some Freeper Medical types...”

Sure, and like true professionals, they were making long-distance diagnoses.

Give me a break.

It would have been nice if the guy snapped back “Take your hands off me, who do you think I am Juanita Broaddrick !”

Someone needs to ask the rapist if he raped Juanita in 1978 at the Camelot Motel. Then you’ll see some real rage !!!

The pro-life confrontation was a different one. Not this guy.

Here's the pro-life one

the only conclusion that one can come to is that this list represents a long succession of tragic, coincidental events.

The Clintons are slip-slidin’ away and they know it. Hussein is the media darling, something they’re not used to, and has seized big time momentum.

And they don’t like none of this one bit. Thus the temperament.

Hillary was not really sleeping in that picture. She was concentrating.

“Must.....not......combust”

Since she was on sacred ground.

This guy was put there by the Clintons.....

Maybe not. Read the bit in the article where he tells a reporter that Clinton had 8 years to accomplish what he wanted to accomplish etc....
