Classic Reagan

Ok, I suppose I ought to offer a mea culpa for this, especially after my post yesterday on civility in political discourse. But the truth is, I have a low tolerance for hecklers who claim to stand on First Amendment rights for the purpose of disrupting orderly presentations, speeches and forums. Hecklers by definition are anti-civil in both motive and method. For whatever reason, they are often tolerated today until removed by security.

Perhaps that is the reason that I find the clip below so refreshing and hilarious at the same time. I imagine only Reagan could get away with this of course. But it echoes my sentiments exactly.
