He is giving a speech at the small business summit. As usual he is getting booed on more than one occasion. I hate to say it but not even bush got this kind of treatment.

BTW he is so good for the rich it is not even funny.

2. We need a video of all of his booing clips (CPAC was a great source) and send it to the Obama folks
so they can use it as a political ad.

3. Yes, it's fun to be ill-mannered, isn't it?
Remember this: one of the chief forms of derision used by reactionaries against leftists is that we're childish and uncivilized. This doesn't help.

Do we WANT to lose? Is it just so much fun to "stick it to the man" that it's worth losing an election?

It's justs a great big thrill ride for far too many these days, and this is hardly in the bag.

4. One of the best tools we have against the powerful is to humiliate them.
Bush maintains his "bubble" precisely so he never hears
any oh-so-deserved humiliation from the millions.

8. I wonder if any of them are plants by the GOP.
The GOP may be trying to use that to energize their base and cast the "anti McCain" forces in a bad light. I'm dubious of the bona fides of these chronic interruptors, who seem to have no trouble infiltrating his events in numbers.
