An outspoken Pro-Lifer heckled President Obama during Sunday’s rally for Senate candidate Martha Coakley in Boston.
The man, holding a sign that read “Jesus Loves All Babies,” was quickly removed from the facility by security.
Clearly not expecting to be heckled at a Democrat campaign event, the President was visibly thrown off by the untimely interruption
As Ed Morrissey noted:
The big news here isn’t so much that a heckler appeared at a Coakley rally – with passions this high, it would have been news if one hadn’t – but that a series of hecklers threw Obama so far off his stride. It didn’t matter to the people who attended this rally, of course, but it’s a bit strange to see an experienced politician allow a couple of loud voices to interrupt for as long as this goes … and then to ask “Where were we?”
With so much riding on Tuesday’s results, it will be interesting to see how this gets reported by Obama-loving media in the next 24 hours. 
Obama advisers believe Coakley will lose
From CNN Senior White House Correspondent Ed Henry
Washington (CNN) – Multiple advisers to President Obama have privately told party officials that they believe Democrat Martha Coakley is going to lose Tuesday’s special election to fill the Massachusetts Senate seat held by the late Ted Kennedy for more than 40 years, several Democratic sources told CNN Sunday.
The sources added that the advisers are still hopeful that Obama’s visit to Massachusetts on Sunday – coupled with a late push by Democratic activists – could help Coakley pull out a narrow victory in an increasingly tight race against Republican state Sen. Scott Brown.

Good hecklers. I love free speech.
Equates our economic crisis to the great depression but too stupid to understand that it was govt. intrusion into the market that caused and exacerbated the depression then just as its doing now.
Go Scott Brown!
