Say what you want but I don't see any problem with this at all.

This was my initial reaction as well. But then I started thinking about how this would stack up against the constitutional "smell test". It doesn't.

You want a candidate to pay for his freedom to speak in some location because his thoughts are unpopular with the anarchists and leftist in that city? The more violent and unreasonable the protest, the more the target of the protest pays. Bad idea.

You gotta point, I hadn't thought of it that way. I've been treating political speech with the same reverence that I feel towards telemarketers calls, and its just not the same thing. I stand corrected.
