4/7/2016 npr.org: Bill Clinton Gets Into Heated Exchange With Black Lives Matter Protester

Similar mainstream media headlines describing the incident include:

I have watched the 11+ minute youtube.com video of President Clinton's Philadelphia campaign event to which the above headlines refer. I thought he handled the Black Lives Matter hecklers admirably. While forceful in his response, anyone who feels they saw a heated exchange, a blistering rebuttal or angry sparing should attend a Donald Trump event. In compairson President Clinton gave a clinic on civility.

I am not and have never been a Bill Clinton fan. In this instance, however, I have to give the man his due for his restraint and ability to maintain his composure in the face of antagonists bent on nothing but disruption.
