So I guess the part about double standards was over your head

I suspected as much. To recap, many people complained a great deal about how a left-leaning speaker was booed off the stage back in December. For the record, that was uncalled for behavior. However, it was just as uncalled for when the same tactic had been applied to conservative speakers over a period of years without any apparent complaint from the Left. In fact, the article states that harassment of conservative speakers was actively encouraged. So much for consistency. To denounce an audience for shouting down a liberal speaker while encouraging audiences to shout down conservative speakers is worse than a simple double standard, it's the height of hypocrisy.
