Fox News Code Pink/Teabagger hypocrisy

First, let me state that I'm not a fan of groups of nutsos no matter what side they're on. That includes Code Pink. There are more effective ways of getting your point across than being an asshole.

That having been said, it's interesting to see what Fox considers rude behavior.
Media Matters

The Fox News crew broke out the smelling salts when some anti-war protesters from Code Pink recently heckled Karl Rove at a California stop on his book tour. Appalled by Code Pink's actions, Fox News condemned the rude behavior.

"Who are you to silence his voice," Fox News' Megyn Kelly demanded to know, while interviewing Code Pink's Jodie Evans, who had confronted Rove at the California event, demanding answers about how the administration, in her words, lied the nation into war.
Yet when the teabaggers formed their mobs and shouted down anyone disagreeing with their position at last summer's town hall fiascoes, they were treated like heroes.

Why the double standard Fox? Why the hypocrisy Megyn?
