Excerpt:

At a campaign stop over the weekend in Iowa, Hillary Clinton had a rough exchange during a question with an audience member. A man asked Hillary about her voting in favor of the Lieberman - Kyl resolution, condemning Iran and allowing the designation of its Revolutionary Guards as a “terrorist” entity. Many believe this is the first step for President Bush to go to war with Iran.

From MSNBC’s First Read…

Randall Rolph, from nearby Nashua, asked why he should support Clinton’s candidacy when she did not appear to have learned any lessons from having voted to authorize force in Iraq.

Clinton thanked him for the question and explained her Iran vote would lay the groundwork for using diplomacy and sanctions to pressure that government.

Clinton accused the man of being a plant who had been sent to ask the question, to which he took exception, saying the question was a result of his own research.

“I apologize,” Clinton said, explaining that she had been asked the very same question in three other places.
