New York City Firefighter Michael Moran said Tuesday that Sen. Hillary Clinton was jeered and booed by thousands gathered at the CONCERT FOR NEW YORK -- because of the "claptrap that comes out of her mouth!"

The 13-year-veteran firefighter — whose brother, Battalion Chief John Moran, was one of 12 members of Ladder 3 lost in the World Trade Center disaster — spoke out on Rush Limbaugh's radio program.

"She wants to spew her nonsense -- she doesn't believe the things she says," Moran said of the former first lady. "She says what she believes will work in the moment.

"I don't think there has ever been a sincere word that has ever come out of her mouth."

VH1 cameras captured firemen and police heroes wildly booing Clinton, who attempted to raise her voice above the shouting crowd as she introduced a film by Jerry Seinfeld.

"Get off the stage! We don't want you here!" yelled one New York City police officer just feet from the senator.

Hillary Clinton's inner circle was furious at her treatment Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

"She was really upset by the response because of how unexpected it was, there was no way of seeing it coming," said a top source.

"How could we not know this would be the wrong forum for Hillary?!" shouted one confidante. "These are cops and firemen who listen to right-wing talkradio. They still think she killed Vince Foster, for Christ's sake!"
