Bill Clinton Heckled In Iowa City Last Night By ... A Robot
Source: The Hotline

IOWA CITY, IA, Dec 10 - A man dressed in a silver metallic suit, a matching helmet and dark glasses heckled Bill Clinton Monday at his last campaign stop. About seven minutes into the former president’s fourth speech of the day, the man stood on a chair on the press riser and shouted that robots wanted Clinton to say he was sorry for statements he made 15 years ago."Bill Clinton, I want you to apologize to Sister Souljah. Robots of the world want you to apologize to Sister Souljah. We want you to apologize,” the man said as one observer gasped "Oh my God.”

A volunteer demanded to know who had let him in and the audience heckled the heckler with boos and screams of "Get out of here!” He then threw dozens of orange, green, hot pink and yellow cards into the air. A woman yanked what appeared to be a microphone out of the man’s hands, and he was escorted out of the room without further incident.

The cards read: "Robots are mad at Bill. MR-IFOBCA stands for Mad Robots In Favor Of Bill Clinton Apologizing. Mr. Ifobca says, "Bill Clinton should be ashamed of himself for slandering a Black woman named Sister Souljah," followed by a website address (www.Mr-Ifobca.org ). Posted on the site is a "manifesto" entitled “"Why Did I Bum Rush Bill Clinton?”

8. They showed the clip on MSNBC. The "Robot" who looked quite lame,
threw a bunch of confetti and Bill said,
'You can disagree with me without killing a tree'. The audience roared

14. Clinton's Sister Souljah
comments were a key factor in his election. He demonstrated that standing up to bigotry in any form is the right thing to do.

21. If you watch the video
it almost looked like the guy lost a bet.

He was pretty nervous, I'd say. He could've taken lessons from code pink. They do it up right!

22. How did he get that close to Clinton wearing that costume?
This stunt was somewhere between funny and stupid, but I wonder who is screeening the crowds?
