Weren't some of the hecklers also students, just as some of those in attendance to hear her speak were most likely students and non students alike. So if that is the case did the students not have a right to protest what they saw as a waste of some of their tuition money?

I wonder if you would feel this way when a liberal speaker you find particularly onerous comes to a school near you and recieves significant disruptions in his or her speach from hecklers in the crowd. I do not believe the constitution indicates that you have a right to free speech if and only if you are not bothering someone else.

Yes, I wouldve felt the exact same way, although I may not have iniated the outcry. I only have time to defend conservatives. Its the dems job to defend themselves. But I think its rude and uncalled for to disrupt someone from speaking in a closed event. If they did not like what she had to say, they should have not gone. But their goal was to stop her from speaking, regardless that the majority of people wanted to hear her speak.
