I gave a specific example, you counter with something far different. I don't know how to put it nicely, so I'll just be blunt, you're being dishonest.

For the benefit of others though, I'll respond. Any group, organized or not, who seeks to interrupt a person in the exercise of their right to free speech, when that person has been extended and accepted an invitation to speak, is denying that person their right to speak. Period. Is that clear enough? The incident I cited obviously meets that criteria.

It is all well and good to protest what someone says, ONCE THEY HAVE SAID IT. Once a person has been granted a forum, they should be allowed to avail themselves of it without interruption.

You want to protest that they were given the forum? Fine.
You want to protest what you think they are going to say? Fine
What isn't fine, is trying to prevent them from speaking freely, which is the whole point of interrupting them.
