Showing Original Post only (View all)Politico on the heckler -In a surprising breach of normal etiquette [View all]
http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/06/obama-interrupted-by-heckling-reporter-126301.html, President Obama's Rose Garden remarks on Friday were interrupted by heckling from reporter Neil Munro from the Daily Caller.
Obama, announcing a change of policy that would allow the children of illegal immigrants to avoid deportation if they meet certain criteria, was interrupted mid-speech by Munro.
"Whyd you favor foreigners over Americans? Munro shouted.
Excuse me, sir, but its not time for questions," Obama responded.
Are you going to take questions? Munro asked.
Not while Im speaking. Obama said.
While it's not unusual for Obama to be interrupted by occasional hecklers at big public events, the fact that a reporter brought Obama's speech to complete halt raised eyebrows among members of the White House press corp.
I'd deport that fucker tonight

Yes, that is a very sad reality. Hard to understand, but bigots are not exactly rational.

Yes, indeed. He wasn't afraid to engage with the creep on a human level, either.
