"Enough!"

Excellent.

Could you imagine a goofball dufus like Jack bin Taliban Laydown doing that for PMSH ??

I think not

Fred,

That would imply respect and decency and a ability to see the good of the country and the system

When you are Taliban Jack you dont like too much of the way things are at all so burning the house down doenst matter.

The bigger question.

If there was an ET and David Brown debate on whether Conservatives had a sense of humour or not and a heckler started shouting at ET...

Would David Brown step in and shout the heckler down or would he snicker encouraging the act?

"Would David Brown step in and shout the heckler down or would he snicker encouraging the act?"
...and if the heckler made comments about David's dog?

DB,

It all depends on whether you are wearing your "lark's tongue in aspic" tour shirt or not.

But it is rare to find someone come to the defence of an opponent. It is a no lose situation so I dont know why more people dont do it.

Goes back to the respect and ability to see beyond immeadiate advantage point.

I think ET can handle a heckler just fine...

Why would ET lower herself so? And it's not as if it'd be a long debate - she'd slam dunk Brown in a matter of seconds, as she always does.

Can't open this, please explain what happened.

I've got a bad set of earphones here - what was it that was said to receive thunderous applause at the end?

He said “Show some respect to Senator Lieberman! Leave this audience NOW!” “Enough.”

Hmmm,

The lark's tongue could be ET and the aspic the empirical data and 'facts' she uses in her debates.

Self satisfying and self serving but satiating to nobody except herself and the babies' mouths she reguritates into.

Heckler meets his better? I was expecting to actually hear what the heckler said, and to hear a zinger response! Must be missing something I guess.

Thanks nemo

Just in case you're wondering...

I might snicker a bit but then I would step in and shout down the heckler...not necessarily to come to ET's aid but in the interest of decorum.

If someone disrepected my dog (an English Foxhound German Shepherd cross) I'd remove the leash and let 80 pounds of canine muscle seek its own level.

Apparently someone in the household has some testicles, brown stuff.

Good G*d, David Brown hi-jacks the thread with a hypothetical situation involving HIM. LOL, and GIVE ME A FRIGGIN' BREAK.

We WERE back at the guy heckling Lieberman and the gentleman, his opponent, coming forward to defend him.

As others have mentioned, in order to do something like this, you have to be a person of principle, where the common good overrides one's own sense of entitlement. Caring for the common good seems to be on the wane in Canada--at least with the Librano$, Dippers, Block Heads, MSM, etc., etc.--whereas entitlement is something we see everywhere, starting with six-year-olds in grade one.

I'd like to think that we have politicians who would step forward like this, if their opponent were being pilloried by a heckler. But I'm not particularly encouraged by the behaviour I'm seeing in our future citizens in classrooms and schoolyards. It's more dog eat dog.

I'd wager almost anything that the guy who stepped forward goes to synagogue or church, where "Love your neighbour as yourself [regardless of race, religion, or political affiliation]" is a basic tenet.

BATB,

Shhhh - don't burst his fantasy bubble. A debate fantasy? ... whatever turns his crank, I guess.

If David Brown refers to himself again in the third person during his wetdream , er, uh fantasy debate he could win!
