Exactly what does heckling accomplish?
   
I can't figure it out. Other than to make the hecklers "feel good" inside, what does screaming, interrupting and shouting down a speaker, or a committee meeting really accomplish?

The hecklers are ridiculed, ignored, and removed (and sometimes arrested) and the speaker/committee meeting proceeds right along the same path. The hecklers then do nothing but depict themselves as a bunch of unhinged radicals (even if they really aren't), whose ideas are now even less worthy of serious consideration, because look, the people espousing those ideas aren't even capable of having a serious adult conversation and debate about the issues.

Yes, sometimes we have to raise our voices in the political arena, but there are venues for that. March in the streets, give your own fiery speeches, set up your own organization, go to the media (and build your own media if need be). But heckling has never accomplished anything but to make the shouters look like little children who can't handle democracy.

The inconsistency must BURN


     How rich is THIS? For 8 years they groused about speaking "Truth to Power," and every little thing those saggy ruglappers at Code Pink did was cause for celebration.  NOW, of course, Thou Shalt Not Heckle. Amazing.
 
     Ugh, no point in copying replies. Cravenly inconsistent. Idiots.

What no mention of death threats and throwing pies at speakers?  Oh, that's right, that's the leftist modus operandi to protest "hate speech".

Through out recent history, it has always been the left that has been violent not the right.

Yeah, they got them terrorists like Osama bin Laden, Che Guevara, and Bill Ayers; genocidal maniacs like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Pol Pot; and cults like Fred Phelps, Jim Jones, and Charles Manson.

By far the responses state heckling is a form of free speech or 'creative expression'.  Of course, if the Kettles were targets of heckling or or subjects of the 'rolling/slanting of the eyes towards' they would label it a hate crime.

This one makes comments such as this far too often.  If it were gay it may have been hit by $kins recent 'shot from across the bow'.

3. Well, if they are on our side, they are standing up for freedom and making themselves heard   
and if they are on the other side, they are hooligan rebel-wannabees showing off their bad upbringing while interrupting the honest efforts of others. I think that's it."

Another who points out primitive hypocrisy from time to time:

"Political Heretic

So much for that whole "truth to power" meme. Flushed like a post from TominTib.

Someone has taken on the task of teaching DUmmies manners and civil behaior?

An easier task would be to teach pigs to fly.
