The Secret Service routinely does this for Bush.

By the way, that took less than a minute of research.

Nice research.

For the record it is wrong on both sides.  There are reasonable restrictions for safety, but not speech.

The Secret Service does NOT routinely do this for Bush.

One article does not a routine make.

The article that you linked states that the protesters were located on a baseball field.  Baseball fields have fences.  Would you have us to believe that the Secret Service sent an advance team in to fence in the ball field?

There are always designated areas for protesters but the assembly and use of cages simply does NOT happen.

When I attended an event where President Bush spoke in Sept 2006 the protesters were right across the street.  The motorcade drove right by them.  No fences or cages.

They’re like the Democrats crazy uncle who keeps running around without his pants. If he’s doing it somewhere else, then they can pretend he doesn’t exist. When he’s doing it in their own front yard for all the neighbors to see and make an association with them, then it’s time to lock Uncle Joe in the basement.

Typical.

Funny how you don’t hear about protesters being put in cages at Republican conventions.

I and 1800 others were caged at the RNC 2004 and held for three days without access to a lawyer.

Jack,

Perhaps the exit sign on the gate read “PULL” and you kept pushing.

Better luck next time.

The fence around the public demonstration zone outside the Democratic National Convention will be chicken wire or chain link, authorities revealed in U.S. District Court today.

The important issue is if the business end of an electric cattle prod will fit through the wire mesh.

You also don’t hear about conservatives shouting-down leftist lecturers, throwing pies at authors giving opposing views, and just in general being diruptive and trying to squelch speech different than theirs.

“Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”

Huh?

Yeah, the republicants reserve free speech zones for inauguration parades.

I’m guessing you’re 3 years old, since you don’t remember the free speech zones at the 2004 GOP convention.

Face it, Danny…to the dead-enders, IOKIYAR.

Always. No matter what.

I don’t really care if they put the cages up. Both parties use them for the same purpose: to sequester disruptive leftist assholes.
