Then heckle away, by all means, I say. The audience filtering and loyalty oaths for rallies in public places during the US 2004 elections left a sour taste in my mouth about our so-called 'right to assemble and speak freely'.

You forgot the right to assemble includes keeping out those who you dont want. In addition how is heckling respecting someones right to speech? That is some twisted logic to claim that everyone should be able to speak, but its ok to stop other people from speaking.
