Kerry, Edwards Swap One - Liners with Hecklers
By REUTERS

SEDALIA, Mo. (Reuters) -<snip>As Bush backers again chanted, ``Four more years,'' Kerry drew cheers by predicting the end of the Bush presidency on election day. ``Let them chant because they have only three more months to chant,'' Kerry said.

``Harry Truman came through here in 1948,'' Kerry said. ``And when Harry was talking, people would say, 'Give 'em hell Harry,' and Harry would say, 'I just tell them the truth and they think it's hell.'''

Edwards maintained a smile but at one point asked: ``I just want to say to those folks who don't want to hear from us: My children are on this train. Show them some good Missouri manners.''

As the train pulled away, Edwards gushed: ``That was great. That was fun. When they were booing 'hope' and 'optimism,' I knew it was an interesting crowd.''

5. Any good speaker can smack around hecklers

And as Kerry and Edwards showed, make points! That's why in fact there aren't many real hecklers around.

6. Booing "Hope and optimism"....

This reminds me of when Buxh was pushing the Patriot act in congress.

When he mentioned that the act would soon expire, the house Dems applauded...Not to be outdone the Repubs were poised to cheer the idiot's next sentence.

Unfortunately that sentence was "The terrorist threat WILL not expire"....He got a standing ovation on that phrase from the pubbie side.

Here's the surreal video of that event:
