 It's not uncommon for people to protest at the University president's home.  Is that jackassery?  Does it matter that public dollars pay for it?
ETA:  Also, is it jackassery to talk politics with your legislator if you see them in the grocery store?  How about if he's out in the yard raking leaves?
It just seems to me that you don't stop being a public official because you're at home, and it's fair game communicate about public issues with a public official at their home, although different rules apply as to what are acceptable means (i.e., a drum circle might be fine on the government plaza but not in the neighborhood).
