I understand what you're saying but the difference is that the "conservative hecklers" were reprimanded and escorted out while the "liberal hecklers" were allowed to remain.
I still don't think that ANYONE has a right to disrupt a public speaking event. The person at the podium has a right to be heard and if the hecklers want that same right, they should do it in the proper forum.

Actually Mrs. M the constitution gives us all the right to say pretty much what we want. It does not guarantee that we will, or have to be, listened to. Those hecklers, both on the right and left have that same right. The Universities that invited both speakers, or whoever invites these types, knew what they were getting into when they sent out the invitations.
