Here’s some guy, “Ben Konop,” running for something in Toledo, we don’t know what. Maybe high school president? Sure, let’s say “Toledo High School President.” Or mayor, whatever, there cannot be that many things to run for, in Toledo. Anyway, congratulations to the world’s sleepiest heckler, for still weirdly ruining this young man’s press event. [Justin Billau via Matt Welch]

The heckler was not booing his platform, but rather the serious edipemic of terminal gayface.
Well, now we know who wrote that dumbass email to Ken. Booooooooooooo! Liar!!!!!!!!!11!@!
Napolean Dynamite lives in Ohio?
oh my fujking god that was the best heckler ever
Where’s the Actblue link for donating to Ben Konop in retaliation for this disrespectful tirade?
Poor Ben.

Let’s hear it for 5-year-olds telling sleepy hecklers to shut up! Yay America!
[re=408201]american mutt[/re]: It was Ben Stein’s son.
They need to hire that guy to heckle every single person doing a speech ever.
He was heckled by the Limp Bizkit singer guy?
[re=408224]The Cold Sea[/re]: Couldn’t have been him. The rambling was far to coherent.
OT: The other day some fellow Wonkeratti listed some definitions and, well, someone had to do it.

I will hire that heckler to be my assistant whose only job is to sit next to me at every pointless meeting my job demands. I start him off at $75,000 if he is willing to leave college early and start Monday.
A heckler who sounds underpaid. That has to be a first.
The heckler was obviously a “Klonopin 0.9 mg” supporter.
I don’t know who this is Ben guy is, but I actually feel bad for the heckler. Guys comes off like the spokesperson for morons across America. Pretty embarrassing when a small child has to tell you to be quiet. What an ass.

[re=408197]SparkleKitty[/re]: “Vote for Pedo!”
Was he about to marry Prince Humperdinck?
Greatest Heckler EVER! I love his languid style; It lacks a certain angry wingnuttery that we’ve all grown accustomed to, but there is something really attractive about his constant droning of boo. It contained a certain child-like-adolescent-douchebaggery-charm that can’t fail to get results. I hope the leftnutters recruit him before the rightnutters do. He is the Lebron James of Hecklers. That kid is a natural I tells ya.
Konop/Little Girl Who Tells Heckler to STFU 2016!!!
Inbred heckler guy is missing his banjo.
[re=408253]I-man[/re]: I agree. I can see that booing the fall leaves or a nice sunset.
hilarious
Is that Beevus or Butthead.
Sure he had no idea what he was booing but I couldn’t stop laughing. And Ben kept suggesting that the guy would have an oppertunity to give his opinoin which was boooooooooo.
In true Dem pussy fashion, Ben Konop lets the asshole affect him and goes elsewhere. Like the guy can’t follow. Although he more than likely didn’t have enough energy to follow.
Hilarious, nonetheless. Reminded me of kid games– when one of your friends would start a sentence they’d pause for a second and you’d repeatedly say something nonsensical to screw with them. Actually, I sometimes still do that.
I actually like he heckler here. Obviously the guy is some unemployed and/or drunk asshole just trying to sit on his porch in some shithole part of Toledo (the whole thing), and this douchebag Knopp decides to have a press conference right in front of his house. Booooooooo Ben Knopp. He looks to be he same age as Knopp, and if Knopp grew up there, maybe he’s some guy who used to beat Knopp up in high school.
Wait, faulty fire lines AREN’T funny?
Clearly an outtake from the last Harry Potter movie. I can’t wait for the Director’s Cut DVD.
hahahah budweiser hat guy rules so hard
@Smoke Filled Roommate: what you call kid games my wife & I call a night of neverending fun. Married life can do that to you.
lmao konop you pussy. as much as the heckler guy owned you should have at least tried to confront him yourself .
This is why Ohio can’t have nice things.
Wow. Ben Konop was a professor of mine in law school. It’s weird to see someone you know go “viral”, as the kids say. I gotta say, he was better at teaching than he is at handling hecklers.
You jackass.
This is even funnier than lolcats. I’m not sure I would trust this kid to be president of the Student Council, however, since he seems t be unaware he has a big, black guy standing behind him. WTF? Why didn’t they just kick lazy heckler’s ass?
He wasn’t booing.
He was saying “Boo-urns”.
[re=408239]GreatOldOnesParty[/re]: WIN.
Pending Ben Konop scandal: Anagram for “Ben Konop Toledo” = Blonde Pone Took.
[re=408231]GreatOldOnesParty[/re]:
OMG Awesome. We got through review!!!!!!
[re=408245]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]:
Jesus Christ that was the hardest I’ve laughed in a while. Thank you.
I’m thinking Ben Konop is going to make a very effective mayor or prom king or whatever.
[re=408231]GreatOldOnesParty[/re]: Nice work!
~
Aw. God bless.
Oh Toledo OHIO! The whole time I’m thinking “yeah, a Canadian WOULD heckle like that!” Ha ha ha ha ha.
Um, but anyway, this Ben guy needs to be more forceful when dealing with languid heckler, who made me snicker and giggle. He could hardly be bothered. I mean, dude, send someone over to him to engage him and have a really involved convo with him so that he would be distracted from his mooing/booing long enough for Ben to give this speech or whatever the hell he’s doing.
Wow he is kinda cute. Although I think I would wear the pants in our pretend relationship, judging since some comical homeless guy already scared him out of his.
I have never been prouder of my hometown. Brilliant heckling. Ben Konop is a first-rate douche.
Hey, I know this guy! He used to be a lawyer in DC and volunteered as a tutor at a school in Anacostia when I worked there. He left to run for Congress in 2004… apparently he lost.
[re=408353]Guppy06[/re]: lolz
Didn’t any of those Osmond Family singers think to bring a dimestore Super Soaker? He’ll make a heckuva mayor if it takes him 3 full minutes to decide to move in the face of a heckler.
that little girl was so cute. i don’t mean that in a “republican elected official” kind of way, i mean she was precious.
[re=408253]I-man[/re]: I agree. This was the best heckler I’ve seen in some time. Determined, yet passive and dispassionate. You save a lot of energy, that way, which gives you the ability to heckle longer.
Konop is a knob. Here he is running for the mayor of the Armpit/Taint of Ohio (luv ya’, Toledo), and he can’t even figure out how to deal with a heckler? He’s running for mayor of one of the hardest city’s in America, and all he can do is to smile so hard that rainbows and unicorns were beginning to seep from his ass? And, to add insult to injury, you deal so ineptly with the situation that assorted neighborhood children (why weren’t they in school?) find that they have to be the motherfucking adults and confront the heckler in a meaningful fashion?! Really, Ben?!
Boo, sir; boo, on you and your abortion of a mayoral campaign.
I would have gotten in touch with my Inner Lou Ferrigno and just have pounded the punk into paste, but, then, that’s what makes us Texans different from those Ohio girls.
Really, Texas is the place where you can be a suck-egg-dog, do-good, nigger-lovin’ Liberal and own a bunch of guns, eat barbeque, wear a cowboy hat and punch the teeth out of some slimeball Repug for dissin’ you! The rest of you are just sensitive, New Age pussies waitin’ on permission to touch me… here… and here. And then you want to blog about how you had second thoughts about the whole thing.

Ok, we get it, Zorg; Texas is the shit; you happy? God, you Texans attention whore with the best of ‘em, don’t you?
This is RIDICULOUS. I’m trying to find out about the faulty fire lines near Widow Konop’s house and the video keeps ending prematurely.
[re=408539]Zorg[/re]: Wow Zorg. Calm down. Part of the deal is NOT going around bragging about guns or fists or whatever. The surprise element. You sound like a new Texas Liberal. Classes are held at your local union hall or the greasiest diner in town on the third Tuesday evening of the month. They’ll teach you how to prance around with your hidden weapons, ok? Meanwhile, shut it.
[re=408787]badmuthagoose[/re]: Pussy!
What the hell is wrong with all of you?!
1. Yes, he is young. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what he is talking about.
2. That heckler was not funny, he was rude and disrespectful. I don’t care if he agrees with Konop’s views. A civil human being should have the decency to be quiet and let others state their views. And if he didn’t agree with Konop’s views he should have the guts and the brains to know why and to support his opinions, rather than just going “boo”.
3. Konop was not being a pussy. He was being responsible. Yes, he could have gone up to the guy and beat the shit out of him, but where would that get him? Jail. Yeah, that will really help his campaign. He also could have approached the man and spoke to him face to face. But do you really think someone who is being so disrespectful as to boo Konop while he is trying to speak will really cooperate and have an intelligent conversation. He wasn’t even willing to come down and state why he was booing. Konop realized this. He was patient, and came up with a solution that would allow him to make his speech. If he had acted differently, you all would still make fun of him. You would say he wasn’t being responsible. Whatever he chose to do in that situation, you guys would have had a problem with it. Imagine yourself in his position.
4. Stop saying bad things about Toledo. No matter what kind of city it is, it’s home to thousands of people. What if someone started dissing your home-saying it’s a trash heap and no one good comes from there? How would you feel?
Honestly, you guys need to learn some respect and basic human civility. Grow up.
[re=409926]moogie[/re]: boooooooooo moogie liar boooooooooooooo.
This happened around the time that Obama had his “Beer Summit” in the Rose Garden with the professor and police officer – here is a link to a local news source that illustrates what happened next with Ben and his heckler/new friend:

Makes all of us folks from the Midwest so gosh-darned proud!
BTW – Ben did not make the cut
