Apparently heckling is the new attack ad. Here’s the latest heckling vid to be making the rounds. After exiting a debate with Barney Frank at the WGBH studios in Boston on Thursday GOP opponent Sean Bielat was in the midst of giving an interview outside the studio when he was heckled by a passerby.
