This is not a case of "double standards" - The hecklers have every right to their own meetings, public protests, press conferences, speeches - What they CAN'T do is take away the free speech from others. Anyone who think this is about the heckler's right to free speech is dimwitted - This is about allowing ALL parties the right to free speech without disruption or intimidation - If a bunch of anti-Muslim bigots went to a mosque and started yelling, they should and will be prosecuted just as well -
