President Obama Heckled At Campaign Stop In Connecticut

video
» 73 comments

It may be because all his supporters were in D.C. for the Rally to Restore Sanity, or perhaps it’s just a recurring theme for the President in the Northeast: President Obama was heckled at his campaign stop today by AIDS activists once again, after experiencing the same at a similar stop in Boston.

Midway through his speach, a significant portion of the crowd began to boo, to which a clearly displeased Obama said “excuse me, young people. You’ve been appearing at every rally we’ve been doing, as we’re funding global AIDS, and the other side is not, so I don’t see why you think this is a useful strategy for you to take.” Instead, he advised, they should “go to the folks who aren’t interested in funding global AIDS and chant in that rally, because we’re trying to focus on figuring out how to finance the things you want financed.”

It’s about 3-4 minutes of heckling, and it’s absolutely painful to watch. Also hard to imagine that it will take long for someone somewhere to suspect that these activists are Republican plants.

    “Also hard to imagine that it will take long for someone somewhere to suspect that these activists are Republican plants”

    Oh look, Frances……you already did! And we all know that real AIDS activists couldn’t possibly have anything to be booing about, huh?

    Frances? You are so transparent…..you are like Maxwell Smart pretending he’s not a secret agent while talking into his shoe phone.

  • BatBoy

    “… as we’re funding global AIDS, and the other side is not…”

    I guess no one told this Community Organizer how much money President Bush spent on Aids.

    Oh well, he only has two more years then he will be gone and we won’t have to worry about him any more.

    Bush Triples Funding for AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis

    * By Brandon Keim Email Author
    * July 31, 2008 |

    Long criticized for neglecting disease in the developing world, the United States has tripled funding for combating AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.

    Signed into law yesterday by President Bush, the plan allots $48 billion over the next five years for disease treatment and research. It builds on the five-year, $15 billion President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, which earned Bush praise for acknowledging the AIDS epidemic — two million deaths last year, most in sub-Saharan Africa — and condemnation for ignoring other, equally pressing diseases.

    Malaria kills approximately one million people each year. Tuberculosis kills another 1.5 million, and the evolution of extensively drug-resistant strains has raised the possibility of widespread, highly-lethal outbreaks in the developed world.

    Liberals and conservatives alike applauded the Bush-backed bill, and Democrats gave the President a rare kudos for his initiative. Senator Joseph Biden (D-Delaware), told the Associated Press that PEPFAR was “the single most significant thing the President has done,” saying it would save hundreds of thousands of lives — and the new legislation is even more ambitious.

  • TfT

    Yeah Batboy – you would have thought that perhaps Frances might have injected that FACT in her article and call Obama out on his flat out lie…..but nah…..we get “republican plants” instead.

    Too funny Frances.

    I hate to break your bubble, but, if you’d watch Fox, instead of relying on Media Matters you’d know, each interviewer announces at the beginning of EVERY interview, if only one side is there, WHY the Democrat isn’t. They ALWAYS invite both sides specifically because of idiots like you. It’s a network policy, and I hear it (along with everyone else watching) every single interview.

    Was he “compassionate” when he incited TWO illegal wars, causing as many as a million civilian deaths (per the British medical journal Lancet), many millions of displaced Iraqis, $3 trillion in crushing debt (per Nobel economist Robert Stiglitz) and almost 5,000 dead American troops?

    It is no wonder why America is Ranked Number 9th in the world in Education, and it is because of writers like this and the Fox Low Information Viewers that follow them…Their willful ignorance bring nothing but embarrassment to this nation, the dumb who blindly follow the wicked.

    And so, Americans will continue to ranked ninth in intelligence as long as there are disingenuous writers like this one and blind followers who question nothing as long as it fits into an ideology they were told to have by a FOX Pundit Type of Personality.

    “Media Matters agent/nutcase getting increasinly strident ”

    No, consistently accurate. Your own source does not substantiate your claims. I state verifiable facts . . . with better spelling.

    “RepubliCorp is an absolute sham perpetrated by MoveOn.org to embarrass Republicans. ”

    http://Www.RepubliCorp.us is a satircal site with a serious point. Republicans embarrass THEMSELVES by selling their souls to corporate interests. Not unique to Republicans – except for the sheer grotesque scale of their greed.

    “because most reasonable people know President Prevaricator will LIE ABOUT ANYTHING!”

    ALL reasonable people know RNC-paid troll NORBUTT will EXAGGERATE ABOUT EVERYTHING!

    “There’s a political calculus here that they’re absolutely terrified to spend any money.”

    Translation: neocons (who suddenly discovered our deficit after Bush bombed out) squawk about government spending – except when they turn around and accuse Obama of not spending ENOUGH on AIDS, which they suddenly – and conveniently – care about. Obama knows that if he seeks more funding they will hypocritically turn around yet AGAIN and accuse him of overspending.

    Mitch McConnell has ONE goal; to make Obama a one-term president. If the country suffers as a consequence . . . oh, well. . . as long as his wealthy corporate pals don’t suffer, too. They won’t.

    Obama said “excuse me, young people. You’ve been appearing at every rally we’ve been doing, as we’re funding global AIDS, and the other side is not.”

    It appears Obama is stuck on stupid. He’s so confident is he can get away in propping up the Democrats by lying. During his campaign, President Obama made a promise to increase PEPFAR (The Presidents Emergency Plan for Aids Relief) funding by $1 billion a year if elected. Last year, the White House recommended a small increase of funding from $6.6 billion to $6.7 billion. He (the Taxpayer) had to pay for Michelle’s trip to Spain.

    I really am fed up with the various special interst groups, including AIDS, Gays, Environmentalists, out there hollering Obama did not drop Everything on day one, EXCEPPT their issue! wtf do all these groups think—they are the most important? We have Bill clinton out there working exclusively for them—yet it is not enough?

    There are a LOT of important things that need to get fixed FIRST—like jobs that Bush lost, a broken economy that Bush broke, still one more failed invasion we need to get out of, so get in line, groups, and wait your turn.

    If you support this President instead of fighting him, it will all get taken care of in the next 6 years of his administration !!

    jrcmi says “Mitch McConnell has ONE goal; to make Obama a one-term president.”

    a worthy goal, one that he will have lots of help with, including from me.

    YOU may deserve to suffer while McConnell damages the country for political purposes, but the rest of us are innocent . . . mostly . . .

    Every week that goes by proves this man, Barry Obama, is a joke. Blacks have waited so long, and this is what they get? I feel so sorry for them. They should have never started listening to those stupid, white liberal college kids back in the 60′s and 70′s.

    “well according to the thumbs up and down in here, it looks like Most of us are on the RIGHT side”

    This site is hardly reflective of the country as a whole.

    “Every week that goes by proves this man, Barry Obama, is a joke. ”

    Bush lied. People died. No joke.

    No. of wars started by Obama = 0. I’ll settle for that for the time being.

    “They should have never started listening to those stupid, white liberal college kids back in the 60’s and 70’s.”

    Would those be the same “stupid white liberal college kids” who worked so hard for – indeed, died for – racial equality during those years?

    Painful to watch? I saw my president politely putting his foot up the anal cavities of some ill-advised people in the crowd. What is painful to watch is goons on the right stomping on women from the left.
