The chant should have been ‘Hillery, cry on my shirt’ She’s a loser.

Hey Tom, Kristy, and all you other sniveling, obsequious little over-educated post-feminist drones who are so quick to stand on your invisible remote-connection soapbox (what courage, btw) - this whole thing was a joke. It was a radio stunt by a couple nerdy 21-year-old kids who work for WBCN in Boston. There was not one ounce of sincerity in their words, nor was there any philosophical objection whatsoever to the idea of a woman being president.

It was just a prank, and all of you (Hillary included) have proven to the world what humorless cowards you are.

Well handled Hillary. I highly doubt it was planted. Those type of men exist in abundance, unfortunately.

Oh, so now we know what’s in Hillary’s mind? Gee, if you could just read ALL the candidates’ minds, we can all make a truly informed decision.

Why wouldn’t she cry about the direction our country is headed? I sure sobbed on Election Day 2004!

I like Hillary, but recognizing that people hate for no good reason, and that sexism is alive and well, I’d like to see her run as Obama’s VP.

She’s got 8 years’ experience as president by proxy and sleeps with a brilliant advisor. And the Clinton years were a heck of a lot better than these last 7.

Judging by the number of sexist comments I’ve read about Hilary Clinton, just in this thread, I would say it isn’t impossible that this was for real.

People question whether or not a woman can be President. If she’s too aggressive, they take unflattering pictures of her and try to make her seem crazy. If she cries, she’s not strong enough and she can’t be President then.

I don’t care if you love Hilary or hate her. The disrespect with which she is treated in the media is different than other candidates are receiving. She is not being questioned on her individual goals, ideas, or policies. She’s being questioned because she’s a woman.

Clearly a planned event. Hillary wasn’t crying for her country the other night. She was facing defeat of the Bush Dynasty - which the Clintons are primary members of - Just about everything Hillary does or says is a lie and this orchestrated heckler event is not a bit different - if the heckler got tazed aka “Don’t Taze me bro . . .” - I might think differently - Kerry, Bush(1,2), Clinton all peas in a pod Liars / Cheats / Thieves. Wake up people - Do your own research! And besides for those folks that have to iron other peoples shirts for a living - Hillary has not a single clue what is like - Remember her ‘forgetting to tip the waitress a while back’ - I do! She is only acting out what the polls tell her will get more votes - no clue what a leader of our nation needs to do for ‘most of the people’ not those elite family members she was so tearful about the other day - she doesn’t mean you and I when she says ‘us and our families’ - sorry.

Given that Ms. Clinton is a multimillionaire, and before that lived in the White House and Governor’s Mansion with a full staff, I think it unlikely that she has ironed anything in years.

“facing another possible second place finish”

This is the second primary, and in Iowa Clinton placed third. Why does the media insist on forgetting John Edwards?

The hecklers were not plants, this was a radio stunt from a local Boston afternoon show. The guy (or guys) shouting are well known locally for pulling pranks like this.

I read the guys work for the Boston radio station WBCN and did this as a stunt for their Toucher & Rich Show. So, a clever comeback to some radio personalities’ heckling makes her somehow appear as a “strong” leader after her morning crying jag about how she gets ready in the morning? Good Lord… it’s all so pathetic.
