The point is that if you go to a town hall and hold up signs comparing Obama to Hitler, scream at the Democratic congresscritter to "keep yer damn government hands off my Medicare!" and generally do everything you can to disrupt the proceedings, you're lauded by Fox News (not to mention the wingy-est wingnuts here) as "expressing your freedom of speech" and are labelled a protestor and true patriot (insert "I'm Proud To Be An American" recording here.) If these people were kicked out of the Dem's townhalls, Fox News would be blowing up over it and there would be riots.
Buuuuut...do the same thing at a Repub townhall and you're kicked out and labelled a heckler. (Which, by the way, is what should happen with ANYONE who disrupts one of these things, but that's not the point I'm making here)
Can you see the double standard?
