AREN'T HECKLERS THE OFFENDERS?
Christie Responds to Female Hecklers with Offensive Sex Joke at Romney Rally (ASHLEY PORTER, January 9, 2012, IB Times)
Christie, while discussing the partisan gridlock that has hampered Congress, was met by chanting female protesters who went from proclaiming "Mitt kills jobs" to "Christie kills Jobs" during the governor's address.Christie dismissed the criticism by using rough, offensive language for a sexual act as an analogy for his evaluation of the current U.S. employment trend.
G. Gordon Liddy handled a similar situation a bit less harshly at Colgate in 1980. When a young woman stood and said that she objected to him referring to female audience members as "ladies" he said: "I'll continue to do so until you prove otherwise."
