I'm pretty sure the moment has been recorded. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 14:54 1
- I meant the notion that it broke decorum. "Here's where the line is, future Congressmen." -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 15:01
Like say when someone boos and hisses and heckles a president...? -- nm - Stephen Sep 15, 14:47 11
- "heckles"? you might want to look up the definition of that one, champ. - Guy Sep 15, 14:54 6
  - Why, are you unsure of the definition there champ? I'm pretty sure shouting out "No" during a speech would fall under the definition of "heckling" - Stephen Sep 15, 15:06 5
    - During Bush, the Democrats didn't have the context of the "raucous town halls." Bravo to them for saying "you crossed the line." Enough is enough. -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 15:09 1
      - Oh come on, now you're arguing that they're somehow taking the moral high road here? - Stephen Sep 15, 15:26
    - hardly - to harass (a public speaker, performer, etc.) with impertinent questions, gibes, or the like; -- nm - Guy Sep 15, 15:08 1
      - Now would you care to look up the definition of gibe? - Stephen Sep 15, 15:24
    - "No" is not "Lie". It's the crux of the issue. - Reagen Sep 15, 15:08
- It may be an odd rule, but isn't there a specific rule about "lie" and "liar"? -- nm - Dano Sep 15, 14:53
- or applauds? -- nm - dogbert183 Sep 15, 14:52
- I'll grant, it's no Sumner caning incident -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 14:52
- in the general sense it's tolerated (and whether it's the President or not isn't the issue) -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 14:51
and this is *exactly* why most people feel so out of touch with their government. - Guy Sep 15, 14:46 3
- Well if you believe decorum and rules of conduct should all be forgotten, then yes, by all means this censure is a waste of time. -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 14:49 2
  - i toured the Parlimentary building in Victoria this weekend and read that they were originally seated at "swords-length" apart to avoid any injuries - Guy Sep 15, 14:57 1
    - Mostly that's symbolic. I mean, why not jsut bring a longer sword? -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 14:58
