Occupiers interrupt Michele Bachmann in SC

[carsontech]

"Michele Bachmann was forced off stage at a speech in South Carolina Thursday after a group of Occupy Charleston protesters swarmed the event and began shouting down the congresswoman."

1) I really hate that tactic. Shouting down/ intimidating a speaker really bugs me. Whatever happened to just ignoring something you don't like?

2) Much like the political left label everything conservative as "tea bagger", I wonder if all left leaning people will start being labeled as "Occupiers" ?

I don't like how those people disrespected the site of the USS Yorktown with their politics.

Then again, I also don't like how Ms. Bachman disrespected the site of the USS Yorktown with her politics.

Both parties were exercising their 1st Amendment Civil Rights at a location that should be as close to a sacred site as possible and free of their politicized zealotry. Two wrongs and all that. Maybe her rally at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier will go better.
