"Here’s why Newtown victim’s father was NOT heckled"

Heslin: I don’t know how many people have young children or children. But just try putting yourself in the place that I’m in or these other parents that are here. Having a child that you lost. It’s not a good feeling; not a good feeling to look at your child laying in a casket or looking at your child with a bullet wound to the forehead. I ask if there’s anybody in this room that can give me one reason or challenge this question: Why anybody in this room needs to have an, one of these assault-style weapons or military weapons or high-capacity clips…..Not one person can answer that question.”

That's sarcasm, Paulie, not an apology.

Not that, based on your sad history of commenting here, you can tell the difference between the two. I almost pity you, as you come across as someone who has totally lost their grip on reality and their own humanity.

"Deadliest January In Chicago In More Than 10 Years"

"CHICAGO (CBS) – The murder toll in Chicago for the month of January now stands at 42, making it the most deadly January in Chicago in more than 10 years."

When will Congress be conducting hearings on this crisis?

SirDonQuixotic

On crime? When will Congress be conducting hearings on crime?

paulejb

Calling the murder spree in Chicago just a crime is similar to comparing 9/11 to a bank robbery.

To a bank robbery? Yes. I also find it extremely shallow and insensitive, but you do love throwing around Nazi references into every other post.

You find the murders of 3000 Americans to be a dumb analogy. Pretty callous, aren't you, Donnie?

You unable to speak in anything but hyperbole. Your analogy was dumb, much like your weird hatred for everything Chicago related.

You seem to be unable to discern levels of seriousness.

The attackers of 9/11 stole everything that some 3000 people had and would ever have.

They're not crimes? 9/11 involved some form of theft?

Okay, so I watched that video.

It wasn't someone screaming, "you lie" at the President, but it wasn't respectful. No one should have been talking down to this guy like that. And who pulled that fire alarm in the middle of this guy's testimony?

Even though a question was put out there, it wasn't really answered, just talked at by several people loudly at the same time. Close enough to heckling to justify someone seeing it as such.

Sad thing is that, because this is becoming a matter of interpreting how what was said was said, we're getting distracted from really answering the question that was asked.

paulejb

@grape_crush ,

When at first Mr Heslin's question was not answered, he challenged the audience. He then got a reply. This was a trumped up incident created by the left and echoed by the left wing media.

Paulie, I'm not going to split hairs over what constitutes heckling or not. I'll admit that it wasn't the most egregious instance of heckling ever, but the chair of that hearing wouldn't have told the audience to shut it if they had not been speaking during this Heslin guy's testimony.

Even if you don't think that it's heckling, it was still hugely insensitive, was rude, and those Second Amendment fetishists came off looking like a-holes. That guy has been through enough already, and like many Americans, just wants reasonable action to be taken.

paulejb

@grape_crush ,

The criticism of the propagandists of the left in no way disparages the grief that Mr Heslin feels.

paulejb

"Was Newtown father really heckled?"

'Man invites comment from audience; audience replies with comment; man comes away unperturbed. Does that qualify as a moment of heckling? Have a look at the definition of the term: “Interrupt (a public speaker) with derisive or aggressive comments or abuse.” '

Um, yeah. That's precisely what the guy did. He wasn't answering the question, he was shouting a challenge.

I would love to see the actual Met Office report that they're drawing that from. I can't believe there's still people like you running about denying climate change; I'll just direct you to the EPA.

That's what the global warming hoaxsters would like us to believe as their claims are debunked one by one.

SirDonQuixotic

Should I get you a thesaurus Paul? You're aware "global warming" and "climate change" are the same thing, right?

paulejb

From "heckling" to "mindless repudiation."

The left finds the language to be so flexible. That is how they could change "global warming" to "climate change" with a straight face.

Seems to me that Joseph Goebbels used these techniques. He said "if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes truth." The media in America seems to have taken up his tactics and are running with them.

Wow, top post from that link. No wonder you have Nazis on your brain all the time, I guess it's epidemic of you people.

Barack Obama and his loyal, left wing minions would make Joseph Goebbels blush with shame. In comparison to Obama and his gang, Joseph Goebbels was a rank amateurs.

Lawmaker: Please no comments while Mr. Heslin is speaking. Or we'll clear the room. Mr. Heslin please continue.

Heslin: Anyway, we're all entitled to our own opinion and I respect their opinions and their thoughts. I wish they'd respect mine and give it a little bit of thought, and realize it could have been their child that could have been in that school that day.

That's not heckling?
