5. He had to stop each time because the ranters yelled non-stop! It was awesome!
 Then he cracked one of his lame jokes about it being a "long way out" to the girl being led out by security--because it WAS a long way out, and she ranted the entire time. LOVED IT.

9. Would DUers be cheering hecklers if Obama were the speaker?

14. Uh, the point is that it's hypocritical to approve of our own people acting like assholes.

17. The heckler could be a disgruntled conservative
 or an independant or a libertarian, not necessarily a Democrat.

Heckling is freedom of speech.


uh...riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

20. Will you likewise approve when Obama is subjected to the same assholery?
 Just wondering how far your support of free speech really goes.
