Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from having your views questioned. It only means the Government may not prevent you from speaking or punish you for what you say. Protestors and demonstrators are fully within their rights to attempt to disrupt his talk.

Stopping someone from speaking (disrupting) just means you’ve run out of ideas to counter his bad speech. Why not go and ask questions? Then if he will not answer verbal questions, that’s the time to get a little more verbose.

BTW, did anybody figure this might be a carefully orchestrated stratetegy to have an opportunity to paint the right in a bad light? After all, when it didn’t work with the black caucuses provocative march through angry protesters, the lying filth claimed it happened anyway, and spread their slander far and wide, knowing most people won’t

actually view the videos.

I hate to give credence to this guy.

no that is not the case. Disrupting a public appearance is breach of the peace. It is a criminal violation if it leads to disruptions after waning to cease and is punishable under criminal law and rightly so. People are invited to speak at an event, the first amendment does not allow interference with that event although you can go down the street and yell all you want. Are you going to do that?
