Heckler's Veto

Erin O'Connor, thankfully posting again at Critical Mass, has the story of a heckler who disrupted a speech by Hillary Clinton--and the English professor who supports what's known as a "heckler's veto".

Erin hits the nail on the head:

In other words, as far as Keach is concerned, it's fine to shut down a speaker through heckling, just as long as the speaker's politics are wrong and the heckler's are right.

Lefties will probably agree--but then again, lefties aren't known much for their support of free speech, anyway.
