This is how far liberalism has sunk in Wisconsin.
I’m someone who doesn’t agree with Sarah Palin on most issues – but why is this good?
This isn’t debate. It’s not answering her arguments. He’s not explaining a difference in policy. It’s yelling. It’s making noise. It’s not discourse. It’s what drunk frat boys do when a song comes on that they don’t like. It’s what people in Detroit do to Charlie Sheen. It’s what kids do before an adult tells them to stop or go on a timeout.
But look at the comments from the liberal blog Political Carnival…
Progressives Rock!
this makes me happy – love these people
What a Beautiful Sound let’s see if FOX shows this or better yet shows this without any anti
No. No! This isn’t a beautiful sound – it’s the sound of idiots. Got that? IDIOTS YELLING.
I would hate this behavior for exactly the same reasons if I saw conservatives doing this to a speaker. So here’s
my question…
When HAVE conservatives done this? Do they show up en masse at public rallies to keep Bernie Sanders or Michael Moore from speaking?
UPDATE VIDEO: Speaks for itself. Sadly.

The union supporters are in the middle of a fight were Sarah Palin has injected herself and is most unwelcome. The Tea Party IS the problem.
For those of you asking for videos, I posted a comment with several videos linked, but I’m told it’s “awaiting moderation.”
Because these sort of people aren’t liberals, and its time you woke up to that fact. They are union brownshirts. These are the same sort of thugs who organize beerhall putzchs and cutural revolutions. This is the sort of hate that gets you genocides and pogroms. They want what they want when they want it and think that constitutes some sort of natural law and anybody who disagrees is an Enemy of the People.
No Jeremy, unhinged, violent union thugs are the problem. They answer policies they don’t like with death threats and intimidation. Go ahead, explain why that’s okay.
To Lee Strahanan:
I applaud you. Very few liberals are capable of recognizing bad conduct on their own side. They are more likely to applaud it, as you pointed out. I notice also, that despite a lot of leftist propaganda about how unhinged the Tea Party is, you are also capable of recognizing the plain fact that however much you may disagree with the Tea Party, they are much better on the civility front than these unhinged leftist thugs.
I appreciate leftists when they argue with the Tea Party in a civil and logical fashion. Honest conservatives should recognize such arguments, since they may expose weaknesses in our own views. But the kind of mob shouting, and name calling, that the left constantly seems to engage in, while simultaneously saying the right is uncivil, does nothing to advance their cause.
To Jeremy, however much you may disagree with Palin, you should never support the kind of extreme leftist thuggish behavior seen here. Your speakers at your leftist rally in Madison were not shouted down by any Tea Party hecklers, like these leftist thugs did to Palin. You discredit your own cause by condoning these tactics.
I am not one to shy away from fighting for a cause. But the fighting should be done with ideas, rallies, get out the vote efforts, and other civil and legal means, not the thuggish mob shoutdowns we see here.

“Mister Snitch, in the 1960s it was the Left that behaved badly just as it is now.”
You mean, like when the left harassed Martin Luther King’s peaceful, purposeful demonstrations for civil rights? Oh, wait…
Perhaps you’re thinking about all the leftists who promoted McCarthyism, a bit further back in the ’50′s? Oh, wait…
Hmm. But it MUST have been the left! Conservatives are ALWAYS so well-behaved.
Bull Connor and George Wallace were Democrats.
Democrat Robert Byrd was a Klansman.
Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act, Al Gore , Sr. voted against it.
See, I had three example and you only had two, so I win.

See, I had three example and you only had two, so I win.
Ah. The maturity of the right.
Well, I guess “awaiting moderation” might be indefinite. If you really are, as you say, interested in seeing video of similar behavior from the right, you may go to YouTube and search for the following videos:

Ah, the humorless Left. I love them so.
Please keep defending your untenable positions through protest marches, walkouts, death threats, defamation, lies, screaming and pouting when you lose elections.
It’s like taking a Maturity Master Class!!
Mr. Snitch:
“I’ve seen left AND right act like mobs. ”
Really?
Zombietime present evidence, and lots of it; where’s yours?

Ah, I see I commented too soon. (shakes fisties at accursed two-page comment-posting thingy)
Later on, it turns out that Mister Snitch has got a half-page-long list of reasons why he doesn’t need evidence, which is of course a great substitute FOR evidence, and amidst the slag is this gem:
“I hardly need to demonstrate this, as anyone who has eyes can see this.”
Got it. “If only you could see things my way, I’m sure you’d see things my way.”
Yeah, but, see, having made the assertion, having so bravely challenged the locally prevailing “groupthink” of this blog’s readers, IT’S YOUR JOB to get us to see things your way.
So far, fail.
Aster, my reply to your reply also is “awaiting moderation,” so I think I see the problem. It might be that there’s a one-url limit on this comment thread. Hence the following three replies plus this one, and apologies for all this threadjacking, but here’s what I found when I followed your links:

I have NO problem hearing Rep. Lipinsky’s remarks. None. Ditto for Midge Hough.

Yeah, these folks are pretty rude, but about 1/20th to 1/10th as threatening as the union flashmobs in Madison. I especially like the part where they DON’T storm the building and prance around in it.

Dude. Did you even preview this at all before you presented it?
The protesters, who come nowhere close to drowning out the speaker, are PRO-SINGLE-PAYER socialists. The speaker calls them “teabaggers,” and the YouTube headline-writing wretard calls them “teabaggers,” but they’re not. They’re all yours.
… ahmina hafta change my moniker to Spam Davy Dave, aren’t I? Just one more …

My favorite part of this one is around the 3:00 mark, where Lisa turns around and poses a question to the T.E.A.Partiers, and they STOP CHANTING, let her ask it, and then they answer it.
You got a counterexample for that?
When’s the last time Code Pink did that?
