Using RT's example -- would you feel the same about a protest at an abortion provider's home? If it's wrong for the one, it's wrong for the other.

There is a difference between elected officials and doctors.
It may be that people don't want to know how much shit elected officials take. But if I ever stand for office, please, tell opponents I'd much rather have them picketing my house for something I actually did than lying about me or spreading false rumors, both things that happen every day in politics. The US Chamber funded ads in the last election were great instances of jackassery - because they are misleading and nasty. That is real jackassery. Many, many times worse that a few pickets by your house.
So I'd give the head of the US chamber the award for jackassery; these guys don't even get a nomination.
