Paul Ryan spoke at the Iowa State Fair today, and his speech was interrupted by two women who first heckled and then stormed the stage. My first thought was, Where is the Secret Service? Apparently Ryan’s Secret Service protection hasn’t begun yet; the scene could easily have turned scary.

Iowahawk, meanwhile, summed up the episode in a tweet:Screaming hysterical hecklers at Ryan IA state fair speech rush stage, punch supporters, get arrested. I guess because Ryan’s an extremist.

Who's extreme?

Democrats will claim they don't represent the party - but they will also claim they are sympathetic to their outrage.

Does this kind of crap actually work? To me this has the tendency to validate what people think, not change their mind. It is about as effective as construction workers whistling and hollering at women going by in helping them get laid. The only time it works is when you have the government assisting you in silencing dissent.

I think I just answered my own question.

Yep, debate......good stuff. Shouting down voices you dont agree with, thats a good exchange of ideas right there, Lou.
