In principle you are right, we have the right to disagree and protest.

Admit it though that civil (restrained?) behavior has gone out the window in the last 20 years.

People used to show more respect for a speaker or somebody with a different belief.

Heckling has become commonplace, interrupting the President and other officials is also commonplace now.

I totally disagree with Hilliary or BHO but I would let them finish their speeches...out of the minimal respect I have for them...as former or current leaders.

Don't get me wrong, we must object and argue but we should be very wary when heckling becomes common practice everywhere. The next stage is perhaps some sort of violence as was done to Berlisconi in Italy last (?) year.

“I would let them finish their speeches...out of the minimal respect I have for them...as former or current leaders.”

Or, the Commie speakers could display some thoughtful, debate-worthy brain power, and engage the hecklers with logical responses. Ted Cruz does it well. Oh... I remember... the Commie speakers have no brain power from which to draw. AND... The PIAPS has no reasonable expectation of respect considering her history, including being responsible for the deaths of people in Benghazi, children in the womb, Clinton Mafia hits, etc.

In principle, you are right. We should ALL be polite. However, it has become a one-sided agreement.

When RATs are slandering American citizens who they disagree with, the vile and vicious attacks are not answered in kind.

When the RATs are engaged in attempts to deride, minimize and disregard the Constitution, no one answers back.

When Christianity is under attack in the government and the military, I’m still waiting for someone to say “Enough”!

Christ told us to turn the other cheek when we are attacked, He did NOT say to stand there and be slapped silly.

No. We need to start fighting back with the same tactics they use. Being polite is getting us nowhere. Being rude has been sucessful for them.

alinsky works in both directions and the America you pine for is dead. We are trying to bring it back but war is a dirty business.

Sounds like a single Heckler. Not exactly a mover.

Uh, that was a Hillery quote from around 2004 when she was yelling that at a speech.

Hillary says we’re not supposed to yell; we’re supposed to sit down at a table and talk.

Congress has tried that. What they get from this regime is obstruction of justice (ignoring subpoenas) and perjury.

Hillary and everybody else in DC needs to know that when you remove the steam release valve on a pressure cooker and keep turning up the heat, the inevitable will happen: an explosion that destroys the cooker and everything in it. That’s what a pressure cooker bomb is. And this regime is making a pressure cooker bomb out of this entire country. They have stopped up ALL the lawful means for the people to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Largely by installing crooks (or bribing/threatening the ones who are already there) as AG, FBI and CIA heads, judges, and czars. There is a reason that Valerie Jarrett said that Congress would not get in her way this term. The normal means for people to get satisfaction/redress of grievances are gone. Non-existent.

Heckling is just the start of the trouble, and I say if they are going to flip us the bird when Congress sits down at table with these crooks, we need to START with the heckling, and lots of it, every time they show their faces in public. That’s what it will take to get them to even THINK about taking us seriously. And they need to know that they have made this bed and will NOT get out of lying in it.

Violence is coming. Grow up or find a rock to crawl under.

I would heckle Hillary until they hauled my a$$ off. I once flipped al gore off while he was VP. Lead to an interesting conversation with some cops and a secret service guy.

They: “Why did you give the Vice-president a finger gesture?”

Me: “Because he is an a$$hole.”

SS guy: “Do you want to hurt him?”

Me: “No, but I won’t shed a tear if someone does.”

Cops laughed and rode their motorcycles off leaving the SS guy standing there alone.

This current bunch of clowns deserves no respect. They show none to the troops or the taxpayer. Screw them all. Ridicule is the first step in overthrowing them.

Even someone as odious as Hillary has the right to give a speech without being heckled. Do your demonstrating outside the building. I’m a stickler about free speech. If you try to interrupt speech you don’t like, you’re no better than the people who try to shout down conservatives.
