How Should You Behave at a Political Rally?

[mikegriffith1]

How should you behave at a political rally? Do you have a "right" to disrupt a rally? Do you have a "right" to scream or chant to try to keep the candidate from speaking and/or to try to prevent the audience from hearing the candidate? If you refuse to be quiet, doesn't the candidate have every right to have you escorted from the event?

On the other hand, does a candidate have a right to have you escorted from the event merely for holding up a sign, a sign that contains no profanity or offensive images? I ask because a person was escorted from one of Hillary's rallies for holding up a sign that merely said, "Yes, Ms. Clinton, it does make a difference."

Quit whining.

Quit defending fascist, un-American conduct. Start practicing what you guys are always prattling about: tolerance, inclusion, civil rights, etc.

I know you don't care about the rule of law and civility, but many people still do.

Townhall meetings and debates are events in which both sides are there to represent their point of view. Rallies are not debates or meetings. Rallies are a gathering of like minded people to celebrate a person they all support.

Do you happen to have a link handy for this claim.... it would help...

Without seeing it on video, I would say no they should not be escorted out, not at a rally...holding a sign at a big rally with lots of signs being held up would be wrong...to escort out

Did you know that scores of silent protestors have been ushered out of Trump events simply for standing and holding a sign or wearing a particicular t-shirt?

Most states CC laws don't allow for CC at political events.

Behave like the Tea Partiers in Boston Harbor.

 

[LoneLaugher]

I just looked at the video of the guy with the sign at the Clinton Rally.

He was not kicked out.

Why must nutbags lie so often?

the growing Tea Party movement and anger over the pending health care bill led protesters across the country to confront their elected representatives at town hall meetings.

Again, how do you compare this to a rally? Explain the similarities.

On one hand you have people addressing their representative about issues dear to them. On the other, you have people protesting that somebody is running for the office of the presidency.

Apples and oranges. Try again.

This isn't about being disruptive, it's about where you are being disruptive.

Being disruptive is acceptable as citizens have the right to redress their leaders. It's not acceptable to protest somebody running for President or his ideas.

If you don't like Trump, fine with me. Go support Sanders. Donate to the multimillion dollar Clinton fund. But don't go to one of Trump's gatherings simply to start trouble. And if trouble does occur, it's what you wanted all along. So don't complain about it. You asked for an ass-kicking, and you got one. What's the problem?

How about a rightwing endorsed 2nd Amendment remedy?

You may go protest a political rally AFTER you get a job, in that order.

You could always wait outside.....

I would simply like to see both protesters and candidates act like adults at rallys.
