Frankly, if I were on the fence, seeing that kind of conduct would make me lean towards choosing differently than the protesters, simply because their behavior would seem to speak to the merit of their cause, and to the thoughtfulness of their response.

They probably doubt that the folks in line are even close to the fence, what with the reports of the required pre-speech loyalty oaths and all.
For the record, I don't much like that brand of protest, esp after watching the black bloc morons here in SF over the last few years. But you should look on the bright side; those kids are going to be GOPers for life after the unpleasantness of this situation is implanted on their subconscious. It's better than electroshock (which we Dems have not yet perfected, unfortunately).
