(I have worked on over 20 campaigns both Dem and Rep). Most of the time the speaker will respond as it is the tradition. The Bushes have decided they are too good for the 50% of the Americans that question their policy.

ummmm....actually, no. This was not some "whistle stop" event. If it was, then I would agree with you. This was a planned and organised speech that had tickets issued. If you start screaming at the speaker at a planned speech, be it politcal, in a high-school auditorium, in a medical convention at a banquet hall, in a VFW meeting, in a church, even at a comedy club....if you start screaming in the middle of the speech, you will be taken out of the place. This is reality, not some sinister plot.
