Here at USDemocrazy, we understand people who have strong political opinions. Combine strong political opinions with some strong vocal chords, the result is this week’s Film Festival: a celebration of the Top Presidential Hecklers!
Our first clip above features President Obama being interrupted by pro-life hecklers in Boston this week. (Fast forward to the 1:15 mark in the video).
Let’s not forget another famous heckle that featured an airborne assault. President George W. Bush is called a dog by an Iraqi reporter who then takes aim at the President with his shoes.
In this clip, President Clinton’s controversial “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy for gays in the military gets one heck of a heckle.
Finally, in this clip of President Reagan at a stop in California on the campaign trail, Reagan looses his cool and tells a heckler who won’t quit it to “Shut up!” If you’re interested in seeing more famous heckles, check out BuzzFeed’s list of the Top 10 Presidential Speech Hecklers.

I’ve always wanted to hear Clinton speak on the implementation of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Thanks for posting (still waiting for it to be removed…)
