322. Agree. To me, the reaction seems way out of proportion.

This was obviously annoying for those who wanted to hear Sanders speak... and an event honoring the anniversaries of Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid (opposed by Republicans from the beginning, and still attacked by them, now) was (IMHO) not necessarily the most appropriate event to target. But geez... people running for president can face actual life threatening risks. I'm sure Sanders can handle some heckling. I think it's unfortunate this tiny contingent of anarchists (or whatever they are) was able to shut down the Sanders' speech, but that doesn't make them the devil incarnate... or necessarily Republican operatives. (But I repeat myself...) In the end, this can benefit Sanders if he takes the opportunity to improve his message and outreach. (And security.) I believe he will.

I also agree the personal piling on can be very alienating, even to those who disagree with the specific tactics used. Again, the reaction seems out of proportion. (For the sake of argument, if they are plants-- which I don't believe, but I could certainly be mistaken--the overreaction would be a good outcome for those who planted them.)
