Then will you please explain the protesters with signs against the President, the war on terror, the administrations environmental policies, and just about anything else anti-Bush you can think of I saw both going from the airport to where the speech was given and then back again. I was four cars behind the President. In his motorcade. Why weren't these protesters run off or arrested? They had at least one hour between our arrival and departure to get rid of them.

Why weren't these protesters run off or arrested?

I can only surmise that the policy of running off protesters is not in effect 100% of the time. However there is ample evidence that it is in effect a portion of the time. My guess is when Rove wants a good photo-op, perhaps during campaigning. For these propaganda purposes it is likely not necessary nor feasible to remove protesters every time the pres moves.

If he only did it once it would be utterly intolerable.
