This is not a partisan issue. When President Bill Clinton was at a public appearance in Chicago a husband and wife were arrested because they shouted "You suck" in his direction.

Hey if he wants to get rid of the shirts why don't he just quit and go back to Texas nobody will miss him .

AS FOR THE T-SHIRT ISSUE THE SHOULD HAVE WORN ONE THAT SAID "I USED TO BE AN AMERICAN!!!" AS FOR THE TAXPAYER'S PAYING THE $80,000 WHO DO YOU THINK WILL FOOT THE BILL FOR THIER JENNA'S WEDDING AT THE WHITHOUSE IF THEY HAVE ONE THERE? HMMMMMMMMMMMM????

I'M GONNA "IMPEACH" BUSH AND CHENEY SO FAST, IT'LL SOUND LIKE A ROCKET BREAKING THE SOUND BARRIER !!!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH FROM THESE 2 BIT IDIOTS WHO ARE NOTHING BUT LIARS AND CON ARTISTS !! WERE TIRED ALSO OF TONY SNOW, PULLING A SNOW JOB ON AMERICA,HOPE LIGHTINING STRIKES HIM !!!!

"Hate Bush"?

Sounds like "hate speech" to me. Last time I heard, some moron decided that's not covered by the First Amendment.

Hmm.

Make up your minds.

The entire United States is a "free speech zone". Not some place well away from the sight of the Shrub. It is, as stated earlier, in the first amendment to the Constitution. It is wrong for either side to use that tactic. However, when it comes to dirty tricks, they became a new force with Tricky Dick and were improved upon by Karl Rove. They are wrong and should be a class A felony.

And, to JLS, I live in Florida, and, yes the election was stolen. People were not allowed to vote, just as in Ohio in 2004. Voter registration lists were scrubbed, removing thousands of voters who were legally allowed to vote. And even with that, when the voted were recounted, in most of the scenarios used in the recount, Gore won. I would like to suggest you turn off Rush (the drug addict) and watch something other than Faux News for a while.

The whole purpose of the filtering is to aid in protecting the president. It would be easier for some one seeking to kill the president to hide in a group of protesters since they are more apt to be disruptive.
The same thing was done when Clinton was president, and Bush 1 as well. I never got near any Reagan rallies, or Carter either.
Its easier to protect the president's life when you keep discenters back. Supporters aren't going to try to kill him, and neither are most protesters, but the odds of a protester reporting some one preping for an assination attempt are slim. In fact, I'd bet most of the posters here, and ALL of the folks at dailyKOS would not report or try to stop an assasination attempt on Bush. Even at the thought of Cheney in the oval office.

"can i wear a shirt that says "I'm muslim"? or a shirt that that says "i'm a jew" at a presidential rally?"

as long as it says you support Bush you can.

after all the constitutions just a "goddamn piece of paper" thats a quote from King George.

"If you disagree with them then you are a racist, or a bigot, or a zionist pig, or warmonger. Before you criticize Bush, perhaps you should take a long look at the suppression of free speech that goes on at many left-wing events. All I hear in this blog are hypocrites."

The right just hates it when they get called out on the errors of their ways, they automagically resort to playing the victim. Look James, the GOP had it made a few years ago, a massive majority, a compliant media, a diciplined message, etc. Now look at where you are. Playing the victim after screwing yourselves over, isn't going to win you compassion anymore. The republican party looks to be in its last throes these days with all their wailing.

Bush has NEVER appeared in front of anything but carefully hand-picked crowds of supporters. The only place where he's ACTUALLY received without massive protests and cherry-picked crowds is Albania...one-twentieth the size of Texas.

It never ever ever will cease to amaze me how ANYBODY ANYWHERE can still claim to believe that Bush being elected pResident and that Bush hasn't lied us into a miserable mess! Does anyone actually require more proof that the Republican Neocon Bush-backers only see what they weant to see and/or hear what they want to hear as opposed to what is real and true?!!!

Bush's election to the Presidency WASN'T fraudulent and Bushco DIDN'T LIE us into an ugly illegal war?!!! LOL-I'm amazed that Bush-backer sheeple can still spout that drivel with a straight face! LOL---If it wasn't so repulsive that those STUPID people are still trying to be taking seriously, I'd laugh non-stop...but as it is, it's not really a laughing matter since we are stuck with the awful freedom crushing government Bush installed and the bloody, useless war he is killing our people and other nations people with. UGGGGH! How sickening!!

The problem with all you REPUBlICANS is you think anyone who disagrees with you is anti american !!!!!

"All politicians are greasy, and this is a reflection thereof"

Once again, proof is uncovered relating to corruption or anti-American activities on the part of Republicans or the Bush regime, and as usual, someone out there says "see, everyone does it". I don't think that I need to point out is that only Republicans have been shown to arrest or persecute people for the "crime" of being Americans. Why don't we just go with the facts instead of letting personal prejudices and biases extrapulate crimes by Democrats and other politicians? Let us get rid of the ones we know are guilty before we start blaming ones that some wish were guilty.

Remember all the times that Bush told us that 'they' hated us for our freedoms? Seems they no longer have any reason to us...thanks Bush/Cheney, job well done!

My Mom went to one of these rallies for Bill Clinton back in the 90's and the letter of invitation went so far as to tell people that anyone wearing anything
that could be considered incendiary would not be allowed in to the event.
Sadly, there is nothing new about our
elected leaders inability to deal with a
little public criticism.
People, we get what we pay for. So long as we continue to elect people based on how they make us feel, we will continue to elect people who make us feel embarrased.

I like Bush and Channey they need to get rid of Lou Dobbs and Jack Cafferty on CNN for the being the bigwigs and anti-americans for hating on immigrants calling them all criminals so nonsence and misleading the public on the BUsh admin I'm sure Lou Dobbs is behind the T=shirt's sound like a Lou Dobbs thing.

The horrendous thing about the decision behavior implicit in the instruction book is that is that the people implementing it -- under the diretion of the White House -- have set a horrible roll model for citizens of the united states and particularly kids in colleges, high schools and more. It sends a message that if someone has identified a problem that needs to be solved -- one can not go to the President of the University. I know this, because that is what the President of the University of Michigan has done to students here. Shame on you, for setting such a bad example. Is the model of democracy we wanted to set for the rest of the world? There is a time and place for everything But suppose these people had an urgent matter to be addressed. Trespassing? It doesn't matter who started it. 'At least Ronald Reagan's Press Secretary made it clear --- his publc appearances were photo oppportunities only.

Here's a radical idea on how to mitigate dissent, be honest with the American people and address our concerns. If our resources were used honestly after 9/11 to address the true terrorists there would be no need to manufacture support for Pres Bush. I'd be willing to bet if Americans thought we were truly dealing with real issues there would be no need for the Bush Admin to constantly explain the war. I think crowd control would be needed to contain the energy of support for our policies.

The question is moot that these people have NOT PROTECTED OR DEFENDED OUR CONSTITUTION.

Instead the question is this:

WHAT are the people going to do about it?
