Soaps.com - MESSAGE BOARDS

I can't figure out what makes Wilson so special to justify any punishment. He was definately not the first to create an outburst at a presidential debate, and he will not be the last.

Longhornsfan and myslf have given examples of previous outbursts, and I also can't see how that is baiting?

Besides, to me, a vocal outburst is no more disrupting than applause and standing literally every minute. I know BO is not the first to enable these constant standing ovations, but how is one supposed to listen when all we hear is clapping?

Ha, I was cooking and realized I said debate, went back here hoping I could edit...you all are fast tonight.
Anywho, I didn't mean debate. Obviously I was talking about speeches, debates, SOTUs, yada yada.

My point: to me, "liar" is just as disruptive as applause every minute, the intentions don't make it any easier to listen. And the other point was that no, I obviously don't agree with disruptions of any kind, especially childish ones.

BUT...Yelling "Boo" over and over (Dems to Bush in 2005 SOTU) IS the same as yelling "liar." You can't convince me this was some unprecedented event by Wilson. How can we all of a sudden make people accountable for their actions? Since the media caved in to money, there is no one anymore to hold these people up and say "Looky here what this one did" They (our reps) obviously (mostly) don't care how we think of them b.c there is no incentive to act right, or NONE of these people would be doing this.

Miller’s opponent takes since the "you lie" moment is more than $400,000 from 11,000 contributors as of 5:00 pm. That means he's raised two-thirds of his total take from the 2008 congressional cycle in less than 24 hours.

puddy, my example was different than longhorn's. Mine was from 2005, and I did not give a link. I don't have a video of it, anyways, just archived articles and some audio I heard.
In my example from 2005, many different Dems, not BO that I know of, booed Bush as he was talking about social security. I'm not coloring anything, just trying to make sure people realize that Wils0n is not the precedent-maker he is being made out to be. Truth be told, if I really dug hard enough, I culd probably find where Clinton was disrupted a time or two.
Also, thanks for clarifying the baiting issue. I didn't watch the link since I had my own example. I still don't se it as baiting, though. Just disagreeing. But I will always agree this is definately not the route one should go.

Another thing, if we're giving/taking points on who was less bad or more bad, than Wilson is better than the Dems in 2005. Atleast Wilson didn't do that at a SOTU. But to me, this is ridiculous thought. Both are counterproductive and make their parties look stupid and desperate.
