Another flagrant violation of the First Amendment by the most rogue, tyrannical, fascist White House in history. All of them should be impeached IMMEDIATELY.

please correct this to show a strikethrough for the word “Feds” and insert “taxpayers” after that.

It never ceases to amaze me how people who endlessly remind you how tough they are, how much better they can protect the country than those spineless Democrats, become unhinged over somebody waving a sign.

The first step to keeping demonstrators out of events, the manual tells the president’s event staff, is to encourage the Secret Service to “ask the local police department to designate a protest area…preferably not in view of the event site or the motorcade route.”

No....WAY!

[Picketers] should be allowed to protest unimpeded outside [summits] and other events, close enough that the assembled parties can see them. Ordinances crafted to keep [protesters] far from a target event are merely stumbling blocks to their legally guaranteed freedom of expression.

From here...

MA Jeff, that’s why this was so good this morning:

As usual, Gary’s got it right. The WH honestly have no clue how badly they screwed up just about EVERYTHING in less than a decade. Or that they even have screwed up at all.

JP Stormcrow @ 4:01pm: “Because chanting the name of your country is like the little black dress, it never goes out of style. …

And anyone who’d criticize the President of the Republicans clearly came from France or Muzlamistan.

Here’s a nice touch that shows how much respect they have for even their supporters.

There will also be an additional 15-20 percent above the tickets ordered printed in order to ensure that the event is full and there are no empty seats or areas.

and I love this:

If the demonstrators are yelling, rally squads can begin and lead supportive chants to drown outt he protestors (USA! USA! USA!).

Because chanting the name of your country is like the little black dress, it never goes out of style.

laid out the White House’s meticulous efforts to protect the president and his public image from dissent.

The president needs to be “protected” from “dissent”?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I’m really tired of having the toddlers in charge.

‘A White House spokesman said the $80K settlement was “not an admission of wrongdoing.’

Oh like HELL it’s not.

It’s a bareassed baldfaced attempt to make sure the case does NOT actually come up to trial in the months before the 2008 elections whereupon it would be much more significant.

I don’t doubt that the Ranks “accepted” the settlement as offered: “Plata o plomo.”
