President Obama’s campaign has spoken out against heckling, and on Tuesday it condemned Mitt Romney for not doing the same thing.

Heckling has become a big part of Romney’s campaigning style, though Republicans by no means have the monopoly on supporters loudly trying to disrupt or annoy their opponents.

On Monday, Obama adviser David Axelrod called on a group of Ohio protesters heckling Romney to stand down, calling heckling “their tactic, not ours.”

In an interview with Fox News radio Tuesday, Romney said his supporters should continue to do what they want.

In the past, Romney has expressed pride in organized heckling put together by his campaign. When Axelrod held a press conference condemning Romney’s gubernatorial record on the steps of the Massachusetts legislature last month, a group of Romney supporters loudly booed and tried to disrupt the event.

Romney praised the protesters heckling Axelrod, and said they were organized by his campaign.

Anyway, since Romney endorses "organized" heckling, what difference does it make if anyone is getting paid?
 
I think heckling is covered under Freedom of speech it's not something I would do but I won't condemn anyone else for doing it. This is part of politics if you can't deal with it you don't need to be in politics.
 
What the fuck are you even talking about Organized Heckling? What the left never does that? The left never organizes a whole Bunch of People to go Heckle someone on the Right?

Really?

Dude you really need to just shut the fuck up, You never say anything that makes any sense at all.
 
Obama didn't condemn people in the past who were much worse. The Black Panthers made death threats. He was silent. Palin was called vicious names by Obama's supporters in the media, which is far worse than a few hecklers.
 
the left are so faux outrage phonies...people are suppose to condem others for doing the very thing they are..

you can't make that shit up
