Hillary Gets Hostile Reaction from DNC
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton isn't universally loved -- even within her own party.
At the Democratic National Committee's winter meeting in Washington, Clinton faced a hostile crowd, according to the Huffington Post.
According to the Web site, "though there seemed to be almost as many Clinton placards as there were people in the room, catcalls drowned out any roars of approval from her cheering section as she began to speak."
When Clinton stated that she had been critical of the Iraq war, a heckler at her speech retorted, "Not!" Her speech was interrupted numerous times by protesters, the Huffington Post reported.
In contrast, Sen. Barack Obama received calls of "I love you" and "You can do it!" from the crowd when he spoke.
The Baltimore Sun reported that former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, Sen. Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut, Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich of Ohio, and retired Gen. Wesley Clark also spoke at the winter meeting.
