Boehner booed down for his Iraq position

As we've learned, you can't always trust Politico, but, wow.
Politico's Ben Smith reports that he was attending the Building Trades Legislative Conference this morning, and House Minority Leader John Boehner addressed the group.

Boehner brought up Iraq, and he said that if we weren't fighting the terrorists there, they'd "follow us home" to the United States. .....

But this time, it produced a huge, noisy wave of boos and catcalls, and Boehner had to stop his speech. He tried the line again, was booed again, and then union officials gaveled the crowd to silence. Boehner said, "I appreciate the dialogue," and moved on.
