(excuse the commercial at the beginning)
This story really got me angry. I think this has more to do with politics than security. Why are all of those flag-waving Bush supporters allowed to have signs and line the streets? Because the news will show how much everyone loves the president. Meanwhile dissenters are rounded up and penned in somewhere where nobody will see them.
In 1992 when Poppy Bush visited Penn State they did not allow usin the main area but we were fenced off to the side. At least we were in the same area, not on the other side of campus. Even the guy in the chicken suit was allowed in (Poppy refused to debate Clinton, so the chicken man was following him).
The "free speech zone" is just another example of the Bu$hCo doublespeak--Clear Skies Initiative, Clean Water Act, Preservation of Open Competition and Government Neutrality Towards Government Contractors' Labor Relations on Federal and Federally Funded Construction Projects, No Child Left Behind, etc. And they complained about the Clinton Administration using focus groups. Every Bush appearance is scripted and produced to look good on television.
