Start with the hypocrisy and family values issue. The Democrats say that it is more damning when Republicans get caught because they run on a platform of family values, meaning Democrats can get away with anything because they don't pass themselves off as being virtuous.
You would think that a Conservative, by definition, would be loathe to make a fuss over something because their personality is, well, conservative. They would tend to not speak ill of others, they would be polite and wait their turn, etc. The Democrats, therefore, make wild accusations, distort the truth, and try to embarrass their opponents at every turn. They know that the conservative would be hard-pressed to retaliate in kind.
So, I think it is damned time that someone booed back. Maybe they'll even be riled up enough to go out and vote next time!

Exactly. But between this incident, the GOPer's in Florida screaming and pounding on the doors in Miami-Dade to get the vote count out in the open last November, and those anti-tax people in Tennessee besieging the capitol a few months ago, conservatives may be finally figuring out that it's not those who have the truth on their side who win the PR wars -- it's those who are the loudest and most obnoxious.
