It was indeed stupid of Doctorow to start bashing Bush like that. (He should've seen the boos coming.) However, it is his right to freedom of speech so long as he doesn't say something rash, like that he's going to kill Bush. I do believe, however, that it's freedom of speech for a bunch of people to boo him. I wouldn't have done it, but I also wouldn't have done what Doctorow did.
And a lot of liberals and conservatives act like this from what I've seen; complaining about freedom of speech being suppressed only when it's their own party being interrupted. This is one of those things I can't hold against a particular party.
