Michelle Obama heckled at DNC event, threatens to leave CONFRONTS Heckler FACE TO FACE - YouTube

It is rude and disrespectful to yell over someone giving a speech. The issue was handled well.

Brava Michelle.

I guess the conservatives would prefer that people were locked up in the Bush era "free speech zones" instead.

Authoritarian Progressives cry like babies when they don't get their way. They take their football and go home.

Michelle:
"listen to me or you can take the mic, but I'm leaving. You all decide. You have one choice."

She aced like a petulant 2-year-old and used the mob to do her dirty work.

When any group or person, regardless of their agenda does something like this, they do nothing but damage their cause...Demanding the administration or the first Lady do anything will accomplish nothing. I am sorry "in you face" radicals can't realize this. As for Michelle, I do think there might have been a better way to handle the situation. But heck, I don't know how I would have responded either. I don't think I would threaten to walk off, that is giving the protester their way.

No, the heckler acted like a petulant 2-year-old by screaming over the speaker at an event. Whatever point she was trying to make was wasted.

Who were the "mob" there to hear speak? This was a fundraiser, people PAY to go to fundraisers. If you PAID to go see someone speak, would you want someone else to yell during their speech?

I PAID to go to a concert recently, I would have been outraged if someone pulled out a guitar and an amp, and played over the musician I PAID to see.

She handled the situation well.

If she had heckled a Rep., we would be hearing that:
1. the Rep. was a bigot who deserved it
2. Rep. was a big bully about to beat the protestor up by getting down in their face
3. the Rep. should have given the protestor the mike.
They seem to have forgotten that only conservative rwnj homophobic red neck gun loving racists do this kind of thing.

This is hilarious. Getting spewed by one of your own!

I am no fan of the first lady. Not even a little. That said respect costs nothing. I would have shown her the respect due her position. I don't blame her at all. I think that she demonstrated more restraint than I would have.

she did nothing of the sort. The audience didn't appreciate the heckler as well.

Unless you think the audience should have let the heckler keep on going, thereby disrupting the reason they are there.

I certainly would not. If Michelle said nothing, and I was there, I'd stand up and shout the heckler down for being an idiot.
