I have no problem if the shoe were on the other foot and it was FReepers protesting a Dem president.

I've been here long enough to remember FReepers howling at the same exact treatment.

And I know this fickle crowd of hypocrites will be just as adament about their right to freely assemble, just as soon as a Dem is in office and not one moment before.

"same exact treatment"

1. Not the same

2. We're not violent -- Secret Service can't ask people to back up with out a legitimate threat, and these people on the left post a threat.

3. "We're conservatives. No tear gas necessary."

Law and order: it's what we believe in.

Except no one from Free Republic ever filed a lawsuit about it. Sure, maybe we were unhappy about it and said so, but we played the cards we were dealt.

If these groups are truly interested in their "causes", they can do what the DC Chapter Freepers and various others did every Saturday morning for two years. Stand outside the White House and protest. They just want media face time, pure and simple.

As one who has been on the lines with the DC Chapter, I couldn't disagree more with your statement. The Secret Service is responsible for the safety and security of the President. We have been relocated by the Secret Service even though we had a permit whether the occasion's guest of honor was X42 or 43. While we may have grumbled, we have always cooperated. There was never any discussion of suing the Secret Service because our right of assembly was being trampled upon, which is wasn't.

I deplore hypocrites.
Those of us who are vocal in condemning the Liberals/Democrats for dishonesty had darn well better practice what we preach.
