Oh, come now. Newspaper and television ads, the Internet has been helpful in getting the word out, press releases, all that. Any number of things. That, incidentally, have been working.

But shouting him down at an appearance? It's childish and unworthy a tactic. It makes him, incredibly, a sympathetic figure "standing up to all those rude conservatives".

If you think the only way you can win in the marketplace of ideas is to interrupt speeches with screeching, you obviously believe your position is the weaker one. I don't think that's the case here, which is why puerile stunts like this one ought not be even considered.
