Yes, we have freedom of speech, but does that mean you get an electronic device to shout down others? That takes either a huge amount of arrogance or a severe inferiority complex.

6. In his mouth. That's why he can't shout too loudly without the megaphone. n/t

5. what's the point of protesting if you're so annoying that people change the channel?

11. The protester could be one of those media conspiracy nuts who hates Matthews.

9. I'm muting Tweety or changing the channel. Airing with that crowd distraction is insane.
It's giving me a headache. Message to Tweety: I can barely hear you. Message to protesters: I can't understand what you're saying. Message to MSNBC: Get Tweety up to the desk he shares with KO, where it's quiet -- or drag him inside the building.

The nutcases Tweety interviewed last night, out of the crowd -- giving them a national platform -- numbered, I think I read, 15.

12. If I can convince 14 other people to believe the same stupid thing I do, then I can get on the TV?
If you have been touched by His Noodly Appendage, meet me in front of The Olive Garden wearing nothing but what you wore the day you were born.

By that I mean, nothing but a wool cap.

13. The problem will be rectified by next Monday at the Repub convention.
Due to the distractions Tweety's show will be moved inside to the relative quiet of the convention perimeters. Therefore the perception will be that there were no protests in St. Paul Minnesota. See how that works?
