I have to object. No way was this guy an "Obama Goon", or a goon of any sort. He was performing his duty as he understood it, and I don't think he was very far out of line, if at all, in telling the guy to put the sign down.

Where are you getting your information that says this rent a cop or anyone for that matter has the right to prohibit a citizen from displaying a sign on public property?
And just WHAT does your claim the rent a cop was not “very far out of line” mean? You either are or are not out of line.
He was clearly and indefensibly wrong.
“Try to keep things straight.”
Well get this straight!
Americans are not going to stand for suppresion of our 1st ammendment right to free speach and expression. We should bring a thousand signs just like the on that offended the Barry mo! Sooner or later actions like this from the Obot will start something real ugly!
Speaking of keeping things straight Lew, what is your take on Sherlock Cheeks understanding of the elements of a crime and what constitutes a lawful arrest? He said something to the effect that “I can arrest you for anything I want to.”
Well, your point would have a lot more validity if he was making all the other sign holders put theirs down.
In addition, according to your analysis, it must have been part of his job training that the U.S. no longer exists...and that it has been renamed for the new Emperor.
The whole thing is eerily similar to the NEA encouraging the renaming of many of their government propaganda centers all across the (newly named???) country for his majesty as well.
I'd have to gently disagree with your logic on this matter. This guard was too much like the ACORN goons who were acting as security for many voting places during the last election.
He admitted as much with his closing statement to the protester.
