you are correct but also missing something ...
the leftists who are quickest to rudely shout down opinions they dont agree with ( a form of dissent-suppression, not merely ‘not listening’) are the quickest to demands laws that take away our 1st amendment (fairness doctrine, hate speech, muzzling religious voices wrt marriage, campaign finance muzzling of independent speech, etc).
RonPaul fans doing this is quite ... leftist of them.

I see your point; however, I'll point out that the Ron Paul supporters did not use laws, or rules, or intimidation-by-authority (i.e. campus police, litigation, or somesuch) but instead voiced their dissatisfaction with the speaker. To me, that seems to be the defining element between the two.
