See, thats why youre leftists, and not liberals. Liberals would respect a persons right to speak.
Your "right to speak" is not any more important than mine.
Actually when a person has paid for a venue their right to speak does trump yours.
You can't buy rights with cash. Maybe you meant "privilege" originally instead of "right"?
You can buy privilege ( private law ) with money. Politicians who think they're entitled to special privileges. SURELY, that's not what you're advocating!
I meant exactly what I said. All rights are granted by people, including property rights. When you rent time at a venue you have inured property rights for that period of time, and that includes being able to present what you intended to.
She could have made it a private gathering, there by eliminating the chance the Occupy Movement would interupt on her latest insanity (course she would get nailed for cozying up to the 1% and not 'all Americans'). Instead, she decided on a public venue. I hate to tell you willbeurdaddy, but in public, ANYONE, can speak up over the person talking. Back in 'the old days' it was respectable to listen to the person talking. In fact, 'Robert's Rules' gives 'the floor' to the person talking at the time in a CIVILIZED MANNER. And I know your US History is limited to the last three months, so here is an 'older' US History lesson for you.
Back during the lead up to the American Affordable Care Act of 2010 (that's 'Obamacare' for you illerate conservatives). There were many town hall meetings across the country. The nation's elected officals (Senators and Representatives) had to hold (by law in some cases) these meetings to inform, educate, and get feedback from the voters on the bill in question. As recalled by many (ok, many NON-conservatives it seems), these meetings turned ugly and into uncivilized rantings by conservatives. I recall attending one of thesse meetings with my elected representative. There were about 30-40 (out of about 400+, standing room only) in the crowd that were just utterly disrespectful to the elected offical. They boo'd, hollered, and basically behaved as disrespectful as it got. They even tried to interupt several times while the offical was giving both examples of how it would be used and answering questions. Some of these elected officals were even threaten with their lives.
So I find it rather amusing that conservatives bitch and moan over something like this. You really are a hypocrit on this topic. Because I recall in posts 'in ancient times to you' that you didnt see anything wrong with those conservatives behaving like 12 year olds at town meetings. You even posted to this very forum about it.
Respecting public officals, willbeurdaddy? Lets start with the President of the United States of America. How often do your posts refer to the man in a respectful manner? How often do conservatives on here, refer to the man in a respectful manner? Rep. Michelle Bachmann got what she deserved, that's what makes it so funny to watch.
