Can they really charge the White House heckler with a crime?

The Lady is a Doctor, she was protesting the practice of organ harvesting in China and other Human rights issues. She has every right to speak out on a issue which she finds objectionable. Just as those who Hate Abortion have a right to voice their opinion. She should not be taken to court on any charge. If she is given jail time many will see this police action by the Republicans for what it is.

Than can't, at least not legally. That is why Tom DeLay is facing money laundering charges and had to step down as Speaker of The House.

No.  You can't impeach someone because you disagree with them or because they are unpopular.  The Constituion specifies impeachment only for High Crimes and Misdemeanors.  Nixon's covering for the Watergate Break In probably counts, everything since (the Whitewater stuff is a stretch the evidence was a little thin) just lacks proper legal standing.  Congress needs to stop treating impeachment as a political toy and reserve it for what it is, a very serious proceding not to be undertaken lightly or in a partisan manner.

No, he shouldn't.  It was an accident, and if you accidentlly did the same thing in the same circumstances, you wouldn't either.\nBy the way, he did have his hunting license.  He did not however have a stamp for the specific bird that he was hunting.  The stamp that was needed was something that they had just started requiring this year.  As with several other people before him, they are collecting the fee after the fact, because not many people know about it yet.\nSorry, this is something that they are going to be able to throw the Vice President into jail for.  I know this distresses you.

In certain states you can press charges on a person for that.

he'd be charged under Article 134, and he'd be charged for conspiracy.  It's a very very bad idea to try and blackmail anyone of a higher rank in the military.

ahhhh HA HA HA HA HA.... He is a perfect example of what not to do while in the white house. Maybe he should be sent to Iraq, since he can almost kill a man without any jail time!

Not at this phase, although some digging may uncover it.\n\nif a real charge is to be filed, that person must appear

I think Bush should be banned from any more public appearances.  He just keeps making himself look worse and worse.  For a leader of a country he sure is dorky.  He has got us into such a mess.  Lets file federal charges, and see if we can get him banned.  He should be held accountable for interrupting our lives whenever he wants. If we interrupted his, you can bet he would file charges on us.

I wish I could say yes but I honestly don't believe so. I realize it sounds deeply cynical to say this but some people truly are above the law. Like "all the president's men," this hateful, evil, utterly despicable fat piggy-man has been getting away with murder for so long now I've lost count. And why is it the really right-wing neo-con republicans always seem to have such porcine features? I am reminded of Orwell's brilliant 'Animal Farm' every time I look at these vile scum... which I try to avoid doing without a silver crucifix extended.\n\nSorry, I digress. No, I don't believe this evil swine (get it? swine? fat piggy-man?) is going to be indicted. I sense another impotent plea bargain, perhaps something comparable to rash lameblow's recent dirty deal with the state of Florida over his illegal prescription drug addiction. I repeat, these hateful people appear to be above the law and are thus not subject to the same rules and regulations as the rest of us. Honestly, I no longer recognize my own country....

The term "heckle" can certainly be construed differently by different persons.  In my opinion, your first example illustrates a gentleman asking a tough question to a political candidate.  He certainly has the right to ask that question, and shouldn't have to endure an assault because of it.  On the other side of the coin, however, is the allegation that this individual follows George Allen around regularly asking things that are not relevant to the campaign.  In that scenario, he should be prohibited from interfering with the event.  In your second example, the individual made a rude comment, and Barbra gave him a piece of her mind.  The Bush impersonator is part of her show.  Perhaps the individual wasn't aware of such, but maybe he should have known before he spent top dollar on Streisand tickets.  Anyone that knows Barbra knows she is and has always been very liberal.

Yes, of course he has broken the law.  Regardless of his representations to the contrary, there is no such authorization in the Constitution, in case law, or in the statutes or regulations.  His behavior is impermissible and he should most definitely be impeached for illegal wiretapping and, if found guilty, be removed from his office in disgrace.

That's a hard one... I suppose it would be Dick cuz he shot someone in the face though. The biggest crook of them all  would be Karl Rove.

No, but I think it would be cool as long as the person pulling the prank footed the bill.

That's a wonderful Idea! Dead "EYE" DICK could run point, and maybe "BUSH" could get shot from standing behind "Chaney" too. How do you shoot someone that is standing behind you for DUMMY"S is on the shelves, of all the news stands all over the World. That wouldn't be an Assassination either, since Chaney wasn't charged for the involuntary manslaughter, for shooting his lawyer. Poor people go to prison for that in my State.

Yes, but it might be difficult to prove. It is called...i think slander or public defaming or something like that. Despite this, proof of the action(s) might be very difficult to prove, and the cost of the suit might not be reasonable.
