The Lady That Heckled Obama |
|
I doubt she was a Democrat...Don't they screen people at these events... If a candidate comes to my town can I just go to one of their events and heckle him or her?

I would hate to think that tiny meet-and-greet Q&As would be screened. Particularly since you can change your party registration at the caucus... everyone should be welcome.

9. Yes, and Hillary handled it very professionally.. |
|
But this wasn't a heckler as Hillary was faced with. This was a Republican Voter giving Obama a chance to persuade her and capture her vote. He blew it.. BIG time!

33. Did Obama answer the lady's 3 questions? |
|
Of course not. He didn't know the answers.
Yesterday was a case and point of witnessing World Class spin. What was interesting, they posed Obama in front of a microphone and took the answer he responded with to the woman and reframed the question at the Press Conference to fit the answer. :rofl:
Talk about slight of hand. Rove is the Copperfield of the media.
Are you telling me, they slipped it passed you and you still haven't caught on? :rofl:

8. If Anybody Can Attend These Events I'm Surprised There Aren't More Hecklers... |
|
I thought Obama's answer was fine... However the media will portray the tenor any way they want...

4. I think it has been reported that she is a republican |
|
and good for Obama for not pre-screening the people at the event.
this whole thing is ridiculous. Didn't we learn from the "Dean scream"????

13. Does a metal detector show who is a repub and who is a democrat? |
|
this has nothing to do with the topic.

Hillary does the same thing. It's the Secret Service, and you know that.
Your desperation is showing.

27. uh, so did I when I saw Hillary running for her senate seat |
|
I was wanded by the secret service and my camera bag was checked when I was covering her for a local paper I used to write at.
and btw, they kicked a guy out of the forum there because he asked a pointed question in a harsh tone.

44. It tells me that Obama is being protected by Secret Service because of threats on his life |
|
Edited on Tue Nov-20-07 10:57 AM by beaconess
and part of Secret Service protocol is to screen for weapons.
There is a difference between screening for security purposes and screening for political purposes. The Secret Service does not keep people out because of their political views. They just make sure that no one coming within close proximity to their protectee is carrying a weapon.
It is inappropriate to try to make a political case out of this.

35. Far from it....She asked 3 legitimate questions |
|
and Obama told her a story about a president sitting with a kindergarten class reading a "goat" story while the country was under attack.

There is a difference between asking questions in the pursuit of enlightenment and being a disruptor... That lady fell into the latter category...

12. Some candidates pre-screen their audience while others have the courage to allow open events |
|
As long as you get through security at Obama events, nobody is going to walk up to you with a clipboard or notebook and try to plant a question. Barack can handle it.
If a Republican wants to make an ass out of herself with a stupid question, he'll answer it. He might not cackle first though.

If anything, the Repug woman with the stupid question revealed that Obama doesn't have plants at his rallies. She would never had been able to ask a question like that at her rallies without being hauled off by security like the "anti-war guy" at a recent Clinton rally.
Look at the difference right there.

38. I thought she was a Code Pinker |
|
aren't those people usually liberal minded?
Still, there's more productive ways to remind Mrs. Clinton that's she flirting too much with the moneyed interests than to show up at her rallies and protest.

40. Other than security screening, no, these events should NOT screen people. |
|
Anyone should be allowed to go see a presidential candidate, even from the opposition. Or do we think George W. Bush should be our role model?

and ask him "How will you do a better job than that fascist piece of shit Bush?", and see if he shrugs that one off like he did the "bitch" question. I'll probably get waterboarded, but my doctor says i need to consume more water daily anyway.
