Yup, Duhbya never did this. I'm wrong and the comparison is ignorant.
But if I'm all of this, then what does that make all of you?

“Free-Speech Zone” - The administration quarantines dissent.
...When Bush travels around the United States, the Secret Service visits the location ahead of time and orders local police to set up “free speech zones” or “protest zones” where people opposed to Bush policies (and sometimes sign-carrying supporters) are quarantined. These zones routinely succeed in keeping protesters out of presidential sight and outside the view of media covering the event.
When Bush came to the Pittsburgh area on Labor Day 2002, 65-year-old retired steel worker Bill Neel was there to greet him with a sign proclaiming, “The Bush family must surely love the poor, they made so many of us.” The local police, at the Secret Service’s behest, set up a “designated free-speech zone” on a baseball field surrounded by a chain-link fence a third of a mile from the location of Bush’s speech. The police cleared the path of the motorcade of all critical signs, though folks with pro-Bush signs were permitted to line the president’s path. Neel refused to go to the designated area and was arrested for disorderly conduct; the police also confiscated his sign. Neel later commented, “As far as I’m concerned, the whole country is a free speech zone. If the Bush administration has its way, anyone who criticizes them will be out of sight and out of mind.”...
If you want more proof, simply dial up google.com and search on the words "Free speech zone, George W. Bush" and read to your heart's content about what George W. Bush isn't doing to dissenting voices.
Maybe it's time you pulled your head out of your own spider hole long enough to take a look at what's really going on around you.
Back-stabbing troll, indeed.
