What the hell country is this anyway and what happened to free speech? The Secret Service had police arrest a couple at presidential visit for "trespass" (even though they had passes to be there) because they wore anti-Bush t-shirts and Bush campaign workers threatened to have a guy arrested because he complained that two teens he was accompanying to a rally were kicked out because one had a Kerry sticker on his wallet.

Does this happen at Kerry campaign stops too or is it just Bush?

The Dems confined protesters to a caged area far from their convention and the GOP is likely to also have "free speech" zones.

I'm the last one to be a First Amendment absolutist, but this is getting rEdiculous.
It's not really politically motivated, Fugee. It's just that opposing ideas confuse the poor President and render him speechless.
