Hillary gets heckled, crowd responds

[Click the pic for the video]

This is pretty interesting footage, via CNN. Hillary Clinton got heckled recently at a campaign stop in South Carolina, and the crowd responded in kind. Honestly, this is not a bad thing - we need more of it. (In lieu of the Secret Service's most un-American "Protest Zones" wherever President Bush makes an appearance, which is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen connected to a presidential speaking engagement.)

It's also worth noting that the man wasn't physically assaulted or removed, as was often the case during the '04 campaign when anyone dared speak out against President Bush during one of his campaign stops.
