I heard some talking head on Matthews show today about how hecklers could have a negative effect on the Obama Campaign..even so far as to accuse the Obama Campaign for these hecklers paid or otherwise.
I disagree....it's context of the heckle, "DONT TOUCH OUR MEDICARE!" "LEAVE OUR MEDICARE ALONE!" This message is valid. And people hear those BUZZ WORDS..will be very effective. MORE PEOPLE should do this at every Romney campaign stop.
Seniors, the disabled, the poor. Stand up and shout out. Let America hear you.

(12,461 posts)of his program...Made a slight reference, the people heckling Ryan, are activists, not normal people actually concerned about GOP wanting to take away Medicaid/Medicare.
I find that odd...like the teabaggers who came out with their "DON'T TOUCH OUR MEDICARE" signs, didnt really mean it.
I believe the GOP would hate the idea of Joe Sixpack getting a clue what is really going on...they hear people screaming about this at a Candidate, they are going to lean closer, full attention.

Mitt Romney, a man not known for speaking well "off-the-cuff" had a quite a few quick responses to these "hecklers".
