CNN Reveals Video Of Michelle Obama Confronting LGBT Heckler During DNC Fundraiser - video link

VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnn-reveals-video-of-michelle-obama-confronting-lgbt-heckler-during-dnc-fundraiser/

Thus far, news consumers have only had access to audio of First Lady Michelle Obama confronting a LGBT activist heckler during a private Democratic National Committee fundraiser on Tuesday. But this afternoon, CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper revealed video which clearly shows, as reports indicated, Obama stepping down from her lectern to directly address the heckler and suggest she’d leave unless the audience gave her their full attention.

Where are all the folks that believe that WE women are not joined at the hips of men?

This is 2013 not 1950.

Back on DU2 the polls didn't show the names of how folks voted.

I think the DU3 polls are more accurate since the names can be seen.

...had a right to speak.

Other accounts speak of donors getting a minute or two with the first lady, but that doesn't extend to rude interruption.

I'm satisfied, after two days of reading replies, that very few people condone this behaviors, so it's much ado.

But it has prompted interesting discussion.
