Lawsuit. I'm sure President Obama will get out front of this one like he did in Egypt, and the network media will be all over it.

Ah, yes, this is America, land of the free.

Hecklers, protesters and stalkers can't expect to grind everything to a halt just because they have some private grievance, and unlimited time.

If one would allow it, than any public event by any major polititican or business will be made impossible. Peta, veterans, pensioners, students, socialists, feminists against phallic loooking symbols, they shall all have to take it outside, where they are welcome to protest to their heart's content.

I marveled at the professionalism of Hillary, who remainded completely undisturbed as this stalker was escorted outside. She's so presidential!

Dude, sending goons to drag a silent protester off is overkill for stalin's russia let alone obama's US.

All he did was stand up and turn his back on her when she started her speech. he wasnt even interupting her let alone grinding everything to a halt, it certainly didn't require such an overreaction.

Except no security man can take a chance now with a protester being within 20feet of a politician after the shooting in Arizona.

Ah I see, so its more panic than malice?

Thats a ridiculous reasoning for this as you very well know.

If one allows this man to have his protest within the press room, then one must necessarily also allow in the other five hundred protest groups outside. This, you no doubt will agree, will grind to a halt the normal proceeding of any press conferences / stockholders meetings / church services / etc.

If there is hypocrisy here, it is that a pensioner and a veteran apparantly has more rights to protest, more access to politicians, than, say, two young, longhaired Peta protesters.

I feel sorry for the person behind him. Must be difficult to enjoy the show when some creepy looking guy is staring at you.

Bah. Prior restraint of speech is oppression and without excuse.

If five hundred protesters come in, then escort them out. But you can't claim to live in a free state if you use hypothetical scenarios to deny freedom of speech to people in completely different situations.

You're defending the detainment by force of a man just for visibly but silently protesting in the same room as a public official.

That saddens me Louis; I thought you supported freedom of speech.

you cant take chances nowadays, if you want to protest you stand outside and make your case.

Yes those politicians **** well can.

They are not royalty, and they do not get to trample over our rights because anyone who disagrees with them is a possible threat.

Indeed, you would have us treat people as assassins for daring to protest against a politician and by implication state that protesting the government means you are to be treated as a criminal.
