You have not proveded one example of the press corps interrupting a speech by the prez. That's the debate at hand...

Of course presidents have been heckled.

So, you change the rules as needed?

Was the guy who threw the shoe a reporter? Yes or No?

Did the guy interrupt Bush? Yes or No?

What was Bush doing in front of all those reporters?

These should be simple questions to answer.

The OP posted an article about the member of the WH press corps, who made the unprecedented action of interrupting the president during a speech. That's what I've been saying since my first post on this thread. I could give two sh!ts about a foreign reporter throwing a shoes or hecklers who've interrupted present or past presidents. I've been referring to the press corps since my first post.

This is getting rather stupid. (not you, this thread)

"Disrespect an obama characteristic..


Here is video of Bono revealing in an interview that President Obama congratulated him for avoiding a hug with President Bush at a National Prayer Breakfast event. Bono revealed he was trying to avoid hugging Bush, despite the fact President Bush supported his initiatives to help Aids victims in Africa, in fact, far more than any President in history.
When Bono sat down next to then Sen. Obama at the event, Bono says Obama told him, "Nice work with the hug dodge." "

None of you had anything to say about Martin Bashir and his clip he showed about Romney's campaign tour. He showed Romneys buses, mixed in with footage of buses blowing up. Yeah, I know, its not something as evil and racist as......interrupting Obama. No comments from 99 percent of you on that topic. So please, knock it off. You are as much phonies as the liberal media.
Romney is not the POTUS and Martin Brashir didn't interrupt a
president's speech, what's your point?

No, the discussion was not only the press corps, it was changed into the press corps when the original argument that act of interrupting a president was unprecedented fell flat on its face.

Moving the goal post, typical..
