Every single time he opens his mouth something awful comes out. Until Hillary started running I had no idea that Bill is apparently a violent racist. Christ! It’s sad, whatever you think of her, he knows better.
Freedom of speech includes allowing each person to say their piece. Being first to question is fine but heckling during the speech reflects poorly on Obama even though this person was probably freelancing.
I think BIll Clinton has lost his cool throughout this campaign and this action crossed the line. Regardless of what the heckler said, Clinton resorted to physical confrontation over using his intellect. Bill has been bashed by the right-wing for decades (accused of far worse things) and has been able to deflect and come out looking better.
Maybe the problem is that he can’t deal with members of his own party not treating him with the respect he thinks they owe him. He is used to the right-wing attacking him, but as the only Democrat to get re-elected to the White House since FDR, he probably thinks he should be immune to this sort of disrespect.
At least it’s a theory.
Stated that he believed that Obama was “ignoring his (Clinton’s) legacy.”
I agree that Bill may not be used to having his own party go against him.
Or, maybe he and Hillary switched roles. When he was president, he was Good Cop. Now that Hillary’s running, he gets to be Bad Cop.
From the description of the incident I’d say there was nothing physical save finger-pointing. The guy even says that he “thinks” he was hit. I don’t know about you but I always know when I’m hit.
Until something else comes out, I’d say this is nothing, especially not something on par with Doug Bruce.
as much as “nudged” 😉
But reflects poorly on Obama? I think that is a stretch.
See Dave, he knows how to handle himself.
Bill knows how to handle the right-wing attacks effectively and is taken off gaurd when a left-wing shot comes at him. Is it because he feels entitled to our respect as cologreek suggests?
Or it could just be that he still is having trouble with it being a competitive race. I’ll agree he could have handled it better but I do like to see politcians shut down hecklers as they hurt free speech.
