Free speech zones

[F117NightHawk]

By now everyone's heard about protesters against Bush being quarantined in free speech zones, away from Bush and not being allowed to be interviewed by the media. A free speech zone was also imposed in Boston during the Democratic National Convention.

I understand that antiwar sentiment isn't popular right now, but isn't America about protecting the rights of the unpopular and the disenfranchised?

When did it become acceptable to do such a thing? Isn't the whole country a "free speech zone"? If we allow them to push us around like this, we won't have any rights left.

Get a grip. They still have the right to assemble and believe me...if they want to talk to the media they will.

Are they infringing on their right to assemble? No, they are merely making sure that where they assemble isn't a place that is going to cause inconvenience to others. I'm sure we all remember the anti-war protests that took place in the streets of Chicago and other major cities which shut down miles of conjested roadways during peak traffic hours? I'll bet you were all complaining about those damn protesters back then...

They probably need a permit for that.
