A Prime Example of Modern-Day Doublespeak

From the NY Post: "Al Franken Knocks Down Dean Heckler"

Apparently, a Lyndon Larouche supporter was heckling Dean, so Franken tackled him from behind. The money quote:

"I'm neutral in this race but I'm for freedom of speech, which means people should be able to assemble and speak without being shouted down."
But apparently, being knocked down is just fine. Someone smack this guy for his imbecility.

I'm probably going to write about this tomorrow.

How come no one is concerned about the heckler's Freedom of Speech? I think the First Ammendment covers heckling too.
