Silent Protest at Clinton Rally

[JackORoses]

From NBC/NJ's Athena Jones
SAN DIEGO, CA -- About 40 minutes into a speech Clinton was delivering in front of a huge crowd at San Diego State University, two young men stood up and unfurled a red banner that read: "Nepotist tyrant hands off Iran", with the senator's picture attached to the middle.

The men had been seated behind Clinton -- and directly across from the press riser -- as she spoke and she had her back to them the entire time they were standing. She never turned their way and it was unclear whether she was aware they were there.

The students stood for several minutes as a handful of Clinton supporters came up each side of the aisle to talk to them. Eventually, a man wearing a yellow SMART union for Hillary T-shirt snatched the banner from the men. The crowd cheered.

The senator did not take questions after the event.

Clinton has been criticized for her vote to call the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, which she has repeatedly said was not a vote to authorize force.

uh oh

Somebody's going to have to discuss a topic that she really wanted to avoid.

1. Interesting.. Wonder if she's going to start pulling Bush tricks with

closed forums with support people only, or is she going to approach govt and policy the way we want with an open govt.

[Zueda]

6. Well it's already known she will never admit a mistake...

I believe I heard that Mark Penn said she was not going to admit her IWR vote was a mistake because she's a woman and to admit a mistake would be devastating to a woman candidate.

7. Oooh, that is bad.

The mark of a great leader is to be able to admit mistakes.
I thought it was men who had problems with that.

2. Any bets that soon, like Bush in 04, Hillary will have the crowd vetted before entering?

Wearing a t-shirt they dont approve of? OUT

Have a non-Clinton supporting union button on the lapel? OUT

Wont be long now.

3. This is what happens when you continue to give Bush what he wants. Expect more of this during the GE

if she gets the nomination

4. Yellow SMART Union for Hillary?

Irony of all ironies? STOP pretending free-trader, pro-outsourcing Hillary cares about the workers, union leaders.
