Remember during sniffle's most unhinged diatribe of the debate when

he was truly losing it (I think this was right before the shimmy)? He said something along the lines of I heard you behind the blue curtain talking to someone and you were really going after them. Is that your idea of temperament?

Of course Hillary didn't dignify it with a response, but what was he talking about? Does he even know? I haven't heard it mentioned since. It might be funny to hear his ridiculous accusation.

In a larger sense, it just goes to show how unbalanced he is. If any other candidate in a Presidential debate had made such an off-the-wall accusation and not backed it up, THAT WOULD BE IT.

Not sure which one - it probably had the AFL-CIO somewhere in the body of the ad.

Probably just speaking forcefully.
To Cheeto man that would translate as screaming.

The line that she had supposedly been yelling about was:

"Why am I not 50 points ahead." (paraphrasing)

It was, of course, taken out of context. She was speaking to an audience and what she said was something along the lines of:

"Why am I not 50 points ahead, you might ask." (again, paraphrasing)

She went on to talk about the tight race and what we need to do.

ETA: This video was linked on Drudge the day before the debate, I think this is what is referenced.

This video is hosted on a RW website, so I'm just going to link to Google.
