President Obama interrupted by heckler

http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/11/obama-interrupted-by-rare-heckler-148407.html|

CINCINNATI – "President Obama was interrupted by a heckler during his appearance here, which prompted a two-minute break in his remarks."

"The heckler, yelling something incomprehensible about abortion and holding a sign with three photos of fetuses, marked a rare interruption to Obama’s stump speech. He would be carried out of the arena by four police officers after they pried his fingers from the bars in front of his seat in the first row of the balcony."

I thought everyone was screened pretty heavily at the gates. that's frightening to think he got through like that.

Does that asshole think he scored any points?

The anti abortion kooks like him, hold this photos up and it actually has the opposite effect. People aren't looking at the graphic pics going "oh, look it's a baby!" They're thinking.. 'that guy is a creepy extremist'

There is a gross billboard in my area, in a very low income but religious part of the State. And it has some sort of fetus/abortion pic, and says something like "if you can't tolerate looking at an abortion. how can you support them? " or something equally weird. Childbirth isn't exactly something that you want on a billboard either, but I support it. Nor is heart surgery, or making sausage.

Someone must investigate.
