Bullsh*t. President Bush has neither said criticism of him should not be allowed, nor has he tried to silence criticism of him. Jesus Christ, are you sure you aren't thinking of wannabe Prez Kerry who tried to shut down the Swifties and ban their book?
In response to gwbush.com during his first run for president, and in reference to the 1st Amendment, Gov. Bush said "There ought to be limits to freedom."
nor has he tried to silence criticism of him
Then there's the sidewalk in front of the governor's mansion, an historical place for protesters to express their views about the actions of whatever Texas governor was in office. On notice that some environmentalists planned a protest, Gov. Bush secretly reversed the policy of allowing protests and ordered that they be dispersed and arrested if they refuse, and many were. No charges were ever filed against them since they never broke a Texas state law.
It's all in the public record, so research before you claim I'm lying. It's not that I agree with the idiots in either case, I just believe in the 1st Amendment, especially when it comes to political speech.

I never said that thought such as this is restricted to President Bush.
