"People in general protesters are not allowed within a certain distance of the president" - edited for accuracy.

Take a good look at the photo that came with the article. See those things standing at the side of the road? Those are people. Do you know why they're allowed to stand there while protesters are not? Because the president likes them.

That is not free speech or assembly.

Don't you ever be so presumptuous as to edit one of my replies in order to present it as one of your lies. You are completely dishonest in your "editing" job because:

1) You neglect what I wrote about the president being in a bus (you know, the rectangular thing on wheels) and therefore being safe from the crowds;

2) You have ignored the fact that the author of this hit-piece uses one isolated event (the removal of a protestor with an obscene sign) to make a generalization about the president trampling on citizens' rights;

3) The First Amendment is not absolute. Tried yelling "Fire!" in a movie theater recently? Tried sacrificing a virgin to appease the Sun God recently? Made any obscene or threatening comments to the president recently? I've got news for you, Einstein: Those and other activities aren't covered!

Try reading (and thinking about) the bilge that you post before putting it up for discussion on Free Republic.
