be this moron's heckling of the President at a Press Conference?
Somehow it just doesn't have that Fort Sumter feel to it.
I've seen a couple OPs and numerous posts openly advocating violence and extra-judicial vigiliantism in response to this act of boorish behavior. If we are going to descend to those depths, shouldn't it be for something like the attack on Gabby Giffords and not simply in response to words?
I think Obama handled it perfectly and my respect for him has shot up 1000%. Can't say the same about some of the posts on DU in response to it. I understand the anger and it is not, imo, mere posturing or 'poutrage'. This was a grievous breach of protocol and there should be serious consequences for Munro and for the Daily Caller, no question, up to and including revocation of press privileges.
That said, I felt compelled to weigh in strongly against descending to their level even when the anger is so righteous.
