9. It's a Republican tactic.

Shout out your opponent. Try to make sure nobody gets to hear what they have to say. Far Right groups do this all the time. I was once at a town meeting where a Democratic Rep was speaking. The Far Right loonies bused in some Teabaggers to shout her down. One after another, they kept her from communicating her message. As soon as one was ejected, another would take his place. When the meeting was over, I told one of the loonies that I missed hearing what she had to say because of the yelling. He said "The First Amendment says I have the right to free speech". I didn't know how to counter that argument.
