‘What Country Is This!’: Irate Romney Hecklers Lose It After Being Denied Access

Someone needs to tell these Romney hecklers what country this is.

That’s at least what they were requesting when they were shouting angrily outside a Romney event in Philadelphia on Monday. The hecklers were irate when they were denied access, despite some of them holding tickets.

“What country is this!” the hecklers screamed in unison.

National Review sets the stage:

Progressive activists stormed the Franklin Institute this evening. They clashed with tea-party organizer Don Adams, who blocked them from entering. It was a wild, tense scene, just minutes before Mitt Romney appeared here. Adams, who is the man at the door in this video of the incident, tells NRO that the “nasty” exchange is an example of what Romney will face this fall.

Here’s what it looked and sounded like. By the way, it seems the hecklers were trying to complain about being targeted because of their race:

So who were the Hecklers? The AP says they were, not surprisingly, Occupiers (among others). Also, they got their tickets refunded:

The protesters said that when they tried to go inside, they were refused entry. Event organizers eventually granted them refunds for their $20 tickets after they chanted loudly on the steps.

The activists, who were from groups such as Occupy Philly and Fight For Philly, said they just wanted to ask Romney questions about his policies.

Che Saitta, 23, from Philadelphia, who said she was with Fight For Philly, said she was among those denied entrance.

“I don’t know why. They wouldn’t tell me,” she said.

It seems there are plenty of things the hecklers need to figure out.

      democrats are the party of slogans and talking points.

      Read Animal Farm. remember it was the sheep that were stupid, and about the best they could do, is chant “two legs bad, four legs good. two legs bad, four legs good. two legs bad, four legs good”.

      These liberal morons are no different. They are not able to think logically, apply facts, stats, or history. They just parrot what they hear from the talking heads.

      I wish that Israeli army officer from the other clip was present at the Romeny speech, so he could butt stroke a few of these libs in the face.

      No let her in, Romney gave a great speech that everyone needs to hear, especially the radical left. He basically said “Obama is destroying the country and we are taking it back.

      Here is the speech: http://www.thedailycandidate.com/video/2012/apr/romney_speech_teaparty.html

      Everyone knows they didn’t want to get in to hear Romney speak. They wanted to get in so they could disrupt and take over and STOP him from speaking. They were trained by COMMUNISTY ORGANISERS just like Obama. ACORN, Alinsky, Obama, Jarrett, Jones, SEIU, AFSCME, HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH: They all hate America and their goal is to destroy it. These people have had their brains twisted into pretzels. They’ll never be able to THINK again. It’s been turned off forever. Trained seals, that’s what they are.

      Free speech means you cannot be punished by the government for the content of your speech. It does not grant you the right to be anywhere you want when you say it. Nobody has a “right” to gain access to a private event with the specific purpose of disrupting said event.

      Gallup just started doing daily Romney vs. Obama polls, and Romney is up in both they have done. Today’s has him up by 5.

They have grown to expect “extra special treatment” just for the color of their skin…that’s plain racist! In Colombia(as in pretty much any other country where “racism” hadn’t been hyped up) when you ask a black person what they are, they proudly respond like all Colomians and say “Colombian”…not “African-Colombian”!
