A funny thing happens when a large number of people get together and protest at an event...they tend to do and say things that they wouldn't normally do without the crowds. Get enough peace protestors in the right numbers and in the right forum and they'll start a war.

Embarrassed? Yep, they should be. Was their behaviour expected? Yep, it should have been. I guarantee that when you get a large group of Republicans out in favour or opposed to an issue, they will revert to the exact same behaviour...it's simply human nature. Of course, things tend to be considerably better when the police have a clue and don't treat the protestors like cattle (e.g. the G8 Conference in Kananaskis Alberta)
