How to handle a heckler

[sheshe2]

This is the kind of thing Americans should notice: Compare and contrast two different ways of dealing with a heckler.

First, here's Gov. Chris Christie - who prefers the "sit down and shut up" approach.

And now here's President Barack Obama's "That's what America is all about" approach.

Who sounds more like a tyrant?

Nuff said...

Christie is a bully boy, loud brash insulting and so ugly, yet that is what the GOP is all about.

Obama, he shows dignity and respect. Yes he throws in a small amount of humor to defuse the situation.

Who would you stand for?

1. K&R....

2. Confidentially...

...I saw this on O'Donnell just now and his eyes were real nasty. I thing there is something wrong with this man. Either some personal problem or maybe a news item is coming out soon... something is not quite right. He looked like he would have killed that heckler if he had a gun.

7. I guess ol christy thought at that point he just couldn't take one more thing that called him on

his shite. Poor misunderstood a$$hole.

26. I Sincerely Hope That Bad News...

is on the near horizon for the governor, but until then, you are absolutely correct-there is something seriously wrong with this man. He has a real psychological problem that goes well beyond his behavior at this press conference. There is a long sordid body of evidence that he is indeed a sociopath that goes back to his first election. (I've posted the video of the commercial elsewhere where he lies with his wife and baby by his side). His actions as U.S. Attorney, his outbursts, his continual lying, his need to control the Sandy money for his political benefit.... this a dangerous and disturbed man. That's not hyperbole, that's fact. I've been around this guy for a long time and he's more than just a bad person, he's seriously disturbed.

3. Dignity, Respect and Grace define this man.

Oh, and the patience of Job. Thanks for this sheshe - the comparison makes Christie look like even more of a jerk, which he can usually pull off all by himself. Can you imagine if this man would ever become our President? Yikes - I can't stop shuddering.

4. Hey Marie Marie.

You are welcome.

Yes, and look at the stupid ass grin on his wife's face.



When he takes a teacher down.

Real nice guy!

28. Creepy.

5. Good Contrast.. Thanks she and Nancy LeTourneau/AKA/smartypants!

[sheshe2]

6. That man makes my skin crawl!

Ugly to the core. If he ever became our President, which I doubt we would all be dead by morning. He needs some anger management and he needs it now!'

Thank you Cha!

8. right wing bully

I've always been amazed at President Obama in these types of circumstances. It's like he lets the person blow their wad and then they are done. Christie of course is just a big bully. I'm sure that brings excitement in the loins of all right wingers.


Peace

9. His campaign slogan should be: "Chris Christie: Defensive Much?"

[Iliyah]

10. K & R

[mountain grammy]

11. Conservatives are generally mean, ugly bullies..

We see it over and over. They are bad people, and the voters who elect them, well, what can you say? Most Republicans I know are fairly mean, not all, but most.

[Union Scribe]

12. It takes a special temperament to handle the presidency.

Obama's got it. Christie and blowhards like him never will.

[sheshe2]

25. Yes, it does Union Scribe.

[treestar]

13. Christie was as thirsty as Rubio there

[sheshe2]

15. ....

Yup~

14. Maybe that works in New Jersey

The one thing that Christie doesn't understand... people west of Jersey don't think that's an endearing quality. I can't speak for anywhere but the west coast (if that), but I think think this is true in the middle of the country too. We don't like loud-mouthed bullies. If he thinks that makes him "real", he is mistaken.

[ReRe]

16. If there was such a thing as a "POS Grand Prize"...

... Christie would get it. I wonder what all those DINOs that voted for him think of him now? The protester had a point. Does anyone know if don Christie addressed the protester's question? Where's the rest of the Sandy money? When are the feds going to nail his ass? Right after the election?
I hope that man is in prison where he belongs by 2016!

[sheshe2]

24. I too hope he goes to prison, ReRe!

[ReRe]

29. The protester was on Chris Hayes...

... last night. Christie got $1.2 billion for Sandy relief, and he's only give out 20% of it ($200 million,) leaving 80% (or around $800 million) in the Sandy coffers! New Jersians are STILL waiting on their Sandy relief and the day before yesterday (the day of the street press conference with the protester) was the 2-yr anniversary of Hurricane Sandy! Where is the $800 million? Does ANYONE trust Christie (or any Republican for that matter) with the people's money? NO!

17. I don't believe in giving hecklers a platform

and validating their infantile behavior by treating them with respect.

[maced666]

18. Calm and cool - smooth.

Sad we only have 2 more yrs of this amazing, beautiful man.

[Scuba]

19. Barack has more class and dignity in his little finger than Christie does in his entire being.

[a kennedy]

22. and I'll just add....."then Christie does in his big fat *ss"

There I said it, normally I reserve slanderous statements on anyone's size, but d*mn, he's just a rude, fat, blowhard period. Ugh......

[Stellar]

20. Damn...I love this guy!

First, here's Gov. Chris Christie - who prefers the "sit down and shut up" approach.

Republic0ns love that sort of s***!

[baldguy]

21. The scary thing with Christie isn't so much his "angry blowhard" act

It's the people who are taken in by it & cheer him on.

[a kennedy]

23. Exactly.....

+1000

[seveneyes]

27. Heckle and Hide lurks in obvious corridors

We are in a twisty maze, all related.

[napkinz]

30. ...

[sheshe2]

34. Perfect example,

of Christie showing what he says he is not, a bully!

Thanks napkinz

[napkinz]

31. kick

nt

[spanone]

32. that's the first time i've seen the footage of christie actually saying that.

he is a fucking bully and the guys behind him would probably take you out back and kick the shit out of you if there

weren't cameras around. what a fucking dick of a human

.

[ancianita]

33. Yes. The difference between a fake leader and a real leader -- care for the audience.

Thank you.
