This is a video I posted on YouTube of what happened when I left a so-called "free speech zone" set up in connection with a Presidentail visit last Fall when George W. Bush was campaigning for Bob Beauprez.
One of the interesting things about this was that only people who were critical of George W. Bush were forced to stand in this "free speech zone." Those who had signs that were supportive of the President, or those who just happened to be in the area but otherwise had no connection with the Presidential visit, were allowed to wander freely outside the free speech zones.
All of this is patently and blatantly illegal. The Secret Service claims that they do not discriminate on the basis of the content of protesters' signs - pro or con. This is a clear falsehood.
One of the reasons that this is such a hot-button topic is that there were wide-spread and numerous violations of protesters' Constitutionally-guaranteed rights of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Assembly at the Republican National Convention in New York City in 2004. (See posts below.)
Does this video lend support to the contention that what we'll see in Denver in 2008 for the Democratic National Convention will be a replay of thse kinds of massive Constitutional violations? Watch the video and decide for yourself...
