They have to handicap R&R at the debates as well. Apparently only flaming liberals will be serving as "moderators".
I watched the video and thought Ryan handled it quite well. He said, "We're used to this in Wisconsin." I hope he has good security.
Here's a link to the video on YouTube for anyone who missed it:

I’m from Wisconsin and would say that we should welcome protestors like this.
The upper Midwest and probably over to Pennsylvania are filled with hard working family types who for some reason inexplicably have been voting “D” for decades.
But these people do not like seeing protestors like this. One of the reasons Scott Walker and his legislative allies were able to prevail was because we’d have these extremist protestors showing up at every event.
At first the media would present the protestors as some sort of freedom fighters and representative of the extremism of Walker. But Walker never responded to them. He just kept on working. Calm, cool and collected like Ryan today.
Ultimately a number of former D voters started to question why they were voting D because they had nothing in common with these radical protestor nuts.
These type of protests will backfire if they keep them up.
