But isn't being so loud that the person cannot be heard a form of that? Oh, not nearly as bad, for sure, but it is that...
Now, I know that all sides do this -- liberals certainly often interrupt conservative speakers and stuff. But while I may think that the Intelligent Design speaker coming to campus is an idiot, I'll just react by not going, not by going and doing anything... okay, this is different.
Actually, the Cheney case is a decent comparison. They had Cheney come to do the commencement (some college in Michigan I think). He gave a very partisan speech, which the college hadn't been expecting. So what did they do? They invited someone from the Kerry camp to come and give a speech too, several days later. That's a appropriate reaction.
