Protest Opposing Obama's Notre Dame Address Gets Uglier

Anti-choice activists are resorting to extreme measures to protest Notre Dame's invitation to President Obama to deliver a commencement speech. Women on the Web reports that "Anti-abortion groups, including Randall Terry’s Operation Rescue, have vowed to create a 'circus' surrounding Obama’s  May 17 address."  A Notre Dame student blogs about seeing a small plane flying over the campus pulling a banner with a graphic photo of an aborted fetus.  The Associated Press is also reporting about alumni who have been targeted with letters from Operation Rescue sent to their home addresses.

By what yardstick can these things be fairly described as "extreme measures", Professor?
