Absolutely not! In fact we should be holding our politicians up to even more scrutiny... with this administration we have really learned the true meaning of "secrets"
We need to ask many more questions and not stop until we get an honest answer.. i know honest and politician do not generally go together.. but we have to keep trying.. and get rid of the ones who have lied to us.

If such questions are actually question, and not statments worded as questions than I'm fine with it. Assuming the asker is polite and patient. If the question occurs in a forum or meeting type setting than the questioner must also obey the rules of the meeting regardless of how they (the asker) feel; sorry tasered kid get off the starge. Rarely have I seen all those things done at once by anyone.

No it should not be banned, but the asker needs to ask the question and be quiet for the answer and move on so the next person can ask the question. There are rules of engagement that need to be followed in order for everyone to have a turn.

We already have this. If you are a Democrat, like Jefferson from Louisiana it is off limits to ask anything about that box of money in your freezer. If you are a Republican, it is fair game. Look what has been done to Craig. You know if Craig had been a Dem, he would be praised for coming out of the closet. This is what happens with you have Liberal bias in all the media. I don't watch TV news, cancelled my newspaper and magazine subscriptions. And they wonder why readership and viewership is down????

Good litmus test -- if protests, let alone questions, are banned, then it is a tyranny.
If they are allowed, less likely to be a tyranny.

Of course not. That's what the USA is about -- questioning authority. But make it a real question, not a YouTube opportunity.

Hell no. The only proper answer to those who would use the power of the state to ban free speeech is "Over your dead body."

I'm sure most Republican politicians would say yes.
But NO - it is our duty as citizens to question our government at all times.
