Is this really the kind of country you want to live in, where people are arrested for the audacity of asking questions of their representatives?


If you are given a time to ask questions, of course they should be able to ask questions! However, this was not a question and answer session and they were NOT asking questions. They were chanting some ignorant disorderly chant to cause disruption...period and you now that! I saw the speech, I don't have to watch the video. I am aware of what happened. They were also not arrested, but just escorted out.

If you were in the danger these candidates are in every moment, with the current conditions we live in, I am sure you would not want anyone acting hostile left in the crowd right in front of you. I wouldn't want anyone left in that jeopardy on either side. Surely, with the horrific Gabrielle Gifford's shooting, you can put parisan politics aside and see that this sort of behavior cannot go unchecked. It puts everyone in the crowd in danger also. You cannot judge how crazy people are anymore. You should be ashamed to even suggest anything other than removing them should happen.

Heckling ??? Oh you mean like That other teabagger Congressman Joe Wilson heckling President Obama at the state of the union address ??

And both these jack a$$es were allowed to stay.

Same thing! No excuses for anyone, no exceptions made. This is not the day and time we can allow such behavior for obvious reasons. And no one with an assault rifle was allowed in to an Obama event...period. If they were, his secret service is worse than thought originally and need to all be fired.

How dumb do you have to be to think "free speech" and "disrupting someone else's free speech" are the same thing?
