It's one thing if you're trying to have a legitimate discussion and you're being heckled to the point where nobody can hear. But when she gets out there and purposely baits those morons with stuff like "if you can put together a coherent thought", I've got no sympathy if she gets shouted down.

She's invited to speak and over a thousand people come to hear her. A dozen or so hecklers attempt to drown her out. If the security personnel aren't going to do anything about it, the speaker has to. If they - the hecklers - want to debate her, wait in line for the Q&A session.

Generally, I've got no problem with that. I don't like hecklers. But I equally don't like speakers who bait people intentionally in an effort to generate heckling, which is what I think she was doing.
