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.

Both doctors and elected officials have offices where protests about their professional activities should be conducted. Going to someone's home is jackassery.
And yes, lying about people is bad, but that's off topic. Stay with the hypothetical!
