Clinton Booed at Heartland Forum
December 01, 2007 6:04 PM
ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: A day after dealing with a hostage crisis, Sen. Hillary Clinton faced a tough crowd in Iowa. Clinton did not receive the warmest of welcomes at the Heartland Form in Des Moines, IA, and although the hostage scare was mentioned, the announcer brushed it off quickly in order to get to questions. Clinton, who was forced to call in to speak to the crowd of thousands because of weather difficulties, took questions on topics from healthcare to illegal immigration.
The senator was asked if she would "make a decision to give undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship" during her first 100 days in office. Clinton responded saying, "I have been favoring a plan to citizenship for years. I voted for it in the Senate, I have spoke out about it around Iowa and the country and in my campaign. And as president comprehensive immigration reform will be a high priority for me."
Soft booing could be heard from the audience. The man repeated his question about the first 100 days. Clinton replied, "Well you've to get congress to pass the legislation and the president to do as much as possible, which I will do." Louder boos came from the crowd.
Clinton was thanked for her appearance and the moderator expressed sympathies for the ordeal she suffered yesterday. Clinton thanked the moderator. More booing could be heard from the crowd again after she hung up the line.
Barring any travel troubles, Clinton is still planning on attending the Brown and Black Presidential Forum in Des Moines Saturday night.

As the true Hillary is revealed, us here in the the Midwest aren't buying what she is selling!

All the dems are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. 75% of NY folks dont want drivers licenses for illegal aliens; so Hill had to back track on that. Same thing will happen in the general election. Fred Thompson is the only main stream pol who has come out for enforcement; not amnesty for illegal aliens. Watch how soon others follow. No candidate will be elected prez if they advocate amnesty like Hill and all the other dems do.

Thank god the people of Iowa have sence enough to BOO a lying fraud. Elect Hill and drive the last nail into the coffin of America.

Hillary Clinton is a carpet bagging backtracking liar. She still owes us here in NY the 200,000 jobs she promised.
Her and her Red Chinese masters should go back to Beijing where they belong. Take the hypocritical left wing Hollyweird "environmentalists" with them.

The idea that Hillary was in some way instrumental in "dealing with the hostage crisis" is ridiculous. People on the ground in New Hampshire dealt with the problem. Trying to turn this into how "Presidential" she was is political spin.

If America elects this Clinton person, we will not make it much longer. She is a fraud just like her husband and America is screaming for a leader not a political lying machine back in Washington.

When will Hillary release her hidden documents relating to her activities during the Clinton presidency? The people of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina have the right to know everything about a prospective president of the United States before they cast their votes for him or her. Hillary is a disgraced woman jsut as her husband (whoe's law license was revoked for lying under oath) is a disgraced man. We cannot afford to rehearse the drama of the 1990's again. We have so much problems that need the full attention of the next president of the U.S.A., and the next president will certainly not be Hillary Clinton.

I'm told I'm very well informed when it comes to politics but I need someone to answer a question for me. Is the Hillary Clinton who is running for President the same Hilary Rodmam Clinton who is married to the former President William Clinton? I think they may be the same person but they spell their first names differently; one uses her middle name and they look different.

Hooray for the "down-to-earth" folks of Iowa!!! Send Hillary Chavez home!!!

In case you all forgot the one hostage crisis she dealt with as co-president 80+ men, women and children were massacred at Waco and no one was held accountable.

First the wicked witch of the South, now the wicked witch of the North!!!

This is typical Hillary Clinton; ask a question and don't get an answer--just rhetoric. All she ever states is hoe bad President Bush is and what she is going to do as President, not how she is going to do it--no plans, just fluff. When will the mainstream media call her on this? Hopefully folks in the early primary states see Hillary for what she is and how dangerous she will be for America if she is elected President.

The hostage crisis had little to nothing to do with Hillary. She didn't go through the ordeal, her campaign workers did. Thankfully, they are all okay. Just what the country needs...someone to take credit for someone else's pain. The above person (Posted by: Nick | Dec 1, 2007 6:36:57 PM) is right, Fred Thompson is the only candidate that has any plans for this country that don't involve taxing the citizens to death and turning our freedoms over to other countries.

Wow, you people are brutal..do you really think anything could be worse than what is in the White House now? And we do need to give citizenship to the kids who were brought here and had no choice...most are very Americanized. Some do not speak Spanish...get over yourselves.

The possiblity that this woman could one day be the Commander in Chief of our nation's military forces scares the daylights out of me.
At least you reported that she was booed. I'm a little surprised, to tell you the truth, given that she has so much protection in the media.
Kudos.

Hillary does not represent herself well. While GOP candidates struggle to portray themselves as the "true conservative" of the bunch, not a single democrat fights to portray themselves as the "true liberal". Liberalism does not embrace freedom and liberty. It only wishes to restrict. What happened to the idea of liberal democracies? I think Republicans are better suited to run our fine republic than this cadre of Democrats.

Republicans for Obama in '08!
...And by the way, this Republican would never vote for Bill Clinton's wife.
Posted by: Wolf at the Door | Dec 1, 2007 7:10:09 PM
Think about this:
Hillary can't win aginst most Republicans because she is so hated. She could destroy Obama with dirt if she needed to, but hasn't.
Obama can't win if he gets the nomination because he is Black and inexperienced.
Hillary + Obama can't lose.

Hillarious Nurse Ratchet Clinton is the biggest imposture running for our country's highest office, that I've seen in my life-time!! Surely the Democrats have something better to offer than this piece of rubbish!!
Posted by: Rushay | Dec 1, 2007 7:11:36 PM
Hillary is pure evil and consumed from early in her life with a passion to obtain as much power and fame as possible. This is a dangerous combination, and her life is the living proof of her wickedness. I am afraid for our country.
