WASHINGTON (AP) -- Mitt Romney has declined to call on his supporters to stop heckling President Barack Obama's campaign.
He told Fox News Radio on Tuesday that he doesn't believe in "unilateral disarmament," but said it would "be a nice thing" if both sides would stop yelling at each other during campaign events.

This worked with McCain, might as well try it with Romney. Obama’s machine got after McCain every time anyone yelled anything at an Obama rally, or yelled anti-Obama words at a McCain rally. Eventually, McCain was campaigning for Obama- “You have nothing to fear from an Obama presidency”.
Might as well try it with Romney, who knows, it might work.
I think Mitt is hip to this, though. Plus he does not have Stockholm Syndrome.
Now, back to this thread.
I don’t remember the Ass. Press ever whining about Barry not condemning hecklers that were heckling Republicans. This is Fluken weird.
Deal with it, O. I condemn dead people voting on election night. There. Now it will stop.
Allen cost Allen that seat. Still...the heckling is a no class act.
This is a smart answer by Romney.
I’ll go on record here as being impressed with his reply.
Seeing that Obama is paying professional hecklers to try and keep up with Romney’s bus tour stops to heckle him, I see no reason for Romney to do so.
In fact I’d embrace their right to do so. And defend it strongly.
I love using that Hillary quote on liberals. Takes time to clean up the exploded heads though.
If Romney was really on top of this, he’d say, You know, I actually agree with Hillary Clinton on this issue - and then pull out a tablet with her screeching diatribe about disagreeing with any administration and being patriotic.
I don’t think the media would ever ask him that question again. They’d have been Alinskyed.
well.... it kind of was.
Not even close.
If that is the case, it is good strategy.
You’re right. This was a good answer. He’s telling them, quite nicely, I will if they will, and since he knows that the Democrats are totally incapable of NOT heckling and demonstrating whenever they have an opportunity, he’s on safe ground.
I am starting to seriously warm to the idea of him as the nominee. He may not be perfect, but the man thinks before he speaks - most of the time, anyhow.
