heckler led out...

[Stump]

1. Actually

Two hecklers now...I've been watching.

[PeaceNikki]

2. A second just escorted out

[1Hippiechick]

3. I can't WAIT to see this on YouTube...gotta listen now to what MSM has to say about this! LOL

[ronnykmarshall]

8. It was live on MSNBC

and they are going to talk about it after the break.

[Nite Owl]

4. Just caught the end of it

was he finished with his speech or was he forced to stop?

[1Hippiechick]

5. He had to stop each time because the ranters yelled non-stop! It was awesome!

Then he cracked one of his lame jokes about it being a "long way out" to the girl being led out by security--because it WAS a long way out, and she ranted the entire time. LOVED IT.

[ronnykmarshall]

6. Wooo hoooo!

Ol' Grampy looks pissed!

[Riddler]

7. Somebody needs to do or say something to make the hotheaded loose cannon blow his top

and flash that renowned temper while the national media cameras are rolling.

[DavidDvorkin]

9. Would DUers be cheering hecklers if Obama were the speaker?

[otohara]

10. ????

But that won't happen when Obama speaks.

[NYC Liberal]

12. No. Why would we? We SUPPORT Obama.

We don't support McCain. Therefore, of course we would support protesting McCain. We think McCain is DANGEROUS.

Duh

[1Hippiechick]

13. Uh, no....your point?

[pt22]

14. Uh, the point is that it's hypocritical to approve of our own people acting like assholes.

see?

[CJCRANE]

17. The heckler could be a disgruntled conservative

or an independant or a libertarian, not necessarily a Democrat.

Heckling is freedom of speech.

[pt22]

20. Will you likewise approve when Obama is subjected to the same assholery?

Just wondering how far your support of free speech really goes.
:D

[1Hippiechick]

22. LOL. What the hell is assholery? Bring BACK the 60s-style protests!!

[1Hippiechick]

21. Your opinion of their behavior is just that--not fact. My opinion is that they were protesting

[orleans]

25. oh...really? thank you for pointing that out. i'm sure no one thought of that aspect

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[Bluebear]

27. "our own people" lol

[otohara]

15. See...I Told You Obama Would Get No Hecklers

only standing ovations so far.

[Puzzler]

18. Would hecklers even be heard over the 17,000 people at a typical Obama rally?

.

[galledgoblin]

23. with the size of Obama's crowds

it would take someone with major cojones to come heckle, and even then, they wouldn't last long at all!

[razorman]

11. McCain has seen worse. I remember when someone in the crowd punched him in the face

many years ago. This sort of thing only serves to generate sympathy for the speaker.

[Overseas]

16. In a way , hecklers make his speeches much more newsworthy

If hecklers disrupt his speeches, they'll be more interesting events and that will help John Sidney McCain III draw more press. He gets more coverage and that's a win for him. He's probably already been warned and tranqued against getting too angry at them.

[AngryOldDem]

19. What, again?

Does he pay them to follow him around, or something?

ON EDIT: The live stream has now apparently switched to an Obama event....please post the McCain show when it becomes available.

[MrsBrady]

24. what were they saying? nt

[Quantess]

26. I clicked on the link, but all I got was the intro, and then it said "live stream ended"

How do you watch the video?

[Bluebear]

28. Here ya go, q....

Upper right corner, "watch video" section.

[Quantess]

29. Thanks for the link.

That commercial at the beginning is LOUD! I just woke people up.

[AccessGranted]

30. From About 3:05 to 3:07 McCain Looked Like He Wanted To. . .

Either cry or kick her in the ass.

[1Hippiechick]

31. Or maybe do both :) n/t
