Maybe because one of the first moves the Nationalist Socialists (and Mussolini, for that matter, in Italy) instituted was placing youth groups among crowds to remove and beat up those who booed and heckled--on the grounds that they were the elected party, and it showed disrespect to the state to do such a thing, making those who heckled, traitors. To me, there is an eerie echo of this in the desire of modern neo-con supporters (who in many cases heckled Clinton endlessly while he was in office) who insist that heckling or badmouthing Bush amounts to being traitors.
