This is a really sad testiment to what our society has become.
I remeber in the 70's and early 80's, the audiance in the HOP stood during the playing of "Hail to the Chief".

Always be respectful
An amusement park is not the place to voice any political opinion. Its sad that it happened.
My kids are learning abou the presidents in school and enjoy the fact they get to see them.
Like it or not, whomever is our president is voted my a majority. that's our right . I don't follow a particular party so I am not a good spokesperson, but.... if you didn't get the person you wanted in place, you have to vote until you get someone. You can't please everyone.
Enjoy it for the craftwork, the animatronics and the celebration of our freedom. Its a classic , educational and beautiful exhibit.

"And that's when the robot realized that it was wrong and sadly walked off the stage. It was never seen again in the Magic Kingdom. The end."
Really. An opinion only matters when it can make a difference. Shouting your opinion to a bunch of tourists won't change any minds, or get a whole lot of support.
This was nothing more than one man who was too childish to realize that no one cares about anyone's point of view on any serious issue when they're on vacation.
No matter how many agreed or disagreed with his statements, no one was going to join in a riot or cause the ride to shut down. He should've just yelled "I'm attention hungry! Please look at me! I'm the guy who needs to validate his opinion to a bunch of strangers! Please like me!" It would have been a lot more to the point, and I'm sure he would've been removed.
I can only guess he wasn't removed because whoever was in charge of unruly guest removal agreed with him and let it go. Only a guess, of course, and still wrong regardless.

I personally have an extremely low opinion of our current president, but I would never be so disrespectful, nor would I allow anyone in my party be so disrespectful, of the other people in the theater's right to experience the attraction unhindered.

Politicians mud-sling, act childish and rude too! IMO politicians are people elected often through corrupts means.
We don't believe in being respectful towards anyone who we don't personally know, but takes our money, simply because they use a certain title. That is how whole countries can be misled.
Having said that, WDW is a place of fantasy and joy. I don't think it's the place to air political opinions. People work so hard for a few days of fun. That man was obviously not feeling the Disney spirit when he booed a robot!
I don't think that a CM should have been called because it is a free country and we are free to express our opinions! Maybe it would have been better for others in the group to gently express their disgust at his actions.

In appropriate places. But sometimes there are additional, common sense and polite rules to follow besides the Bill of Rights.

Throughout mankind's modern history philosophical and satirical genius has taken many forms
Jean-Paul Satre
Voltaire
Oscar Wilde
HL Mencken
Noel Coward
Peter Cook
Woody Allen
Chris Morris
These great men looked across and despite their cutting epigrams, witty ripostes and philosophical inginuity they saw the man who once and for all perfected the art of mockery.
Yes:
The guy who bood GW Bush's animatronic likeness in the Hall of Presidents.
Although I was there one time and when Nixon was introduced I heard a voice from about two rows back saying "oooh, watch what you say guys". I must confess I had a chuckle at that one.
I've got a dirty thumb.
The People of Anandapur and the Royal Anandapur Wildlife and Forestry Authority trust you will enjoy your walk and ask that you respect and honor these lovely creatures with behavior appropriate for peaceful co-existence.

Yes, I agree with regard to internally understanding socially accepted pacts in order to enjoy something. There are many situations in which people loudly and openly express their opinion which may violate the rules of decorum for most people.
However, because understanding rules of tact is subjective, it varies, as it did for this man. IMO bringing in the "official" figure of the CM is beyond what is necessitated by the man's actions.
I wonder how many incidents like this, or worse, Disney deals with and how? I don't know if it's a stressful time of year, but so far, I've been told by 3 families who have visited over the last few weeks about such annoying behavior. I guess one incident per visit is not so bad when you consider how many people are at the parks.
