HECKLERS PILLORY HILLARY CLINTON AT BROWN UNIVERSITY

The New York Post reports:
Anti-war protesters interrupted Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's speech at Brown University last night by heckling her for four minutes before police escorted them out of the auditorium.

Clinton was about eight minutes into her speech, "Women Leaders," when an unidentified man stood and shouted: "Is it leadership to support the war?"

He was quickly joined by two other hecklers as he stood on his seat and continued to criticize Clinton for her vote to authorize the U.S. invasion of Iraq and her subsequent votes to fund the war.

Despite the heckling, Clinton did not stop her speech, which was general in tone.
Senator Clinton might have a difficult time with the anti-war crowd in the Democratic primaries,if she decides to run.It appears the anti-war crowd doesn't buy her "sometime" criticism of the Iraq conflict.
