A few things.

I understand and can respect the opinions of those who disagree with my opinion. I find it interesting that because I found booing Sen. Clinton rude etc, I am called a shill and worse. Oh well, I guess when one does not have much of an argument, descending into name calling or personal attacks is the best one can do.

My point still stands, booing her was rude and beneath conservatives (obviously not all those who were booing were conservatives).

This is not a rarified view of someone who is busy playing golf at the country club, but rather the view of someone who has taken very seriously the admonition of Christ to do unto others. Forgive me if this makes me an elitist/country clubber.

In the following scene, replace law with manners, and you will see my point.

Roper: So now you'd give the Devil benefit of law!

More: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?

Roper: I'd cut down every law in England to do that!

More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you - where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast - man's laws, not God's - and if you cut them down - and you're just the man to do it - d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake.
