No difference, eh?

When Bush held speeches and town hall meetings he would corral all protesters far out of sight and earshot and call these "free speech zones". He had no tolerance for dissenting opinions.

For those who think Obama is no different I present another example. During his town hall meeting today a man with a gun stood outside the school, holding a sign quoting Jefferson: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

He was monitored but because he was technically not breaking any laws (he was a private property, a church gave him permission to be there, how Christian of them).

This is exactly the mindset that I'm talking about that needs to change. I know he's just a douchebag that wants attention (and is getting it, even from me) but it's funny how much Republicans and Conservatives would howl about how much we need to respect the President, until we elect a Democratic one.

I don't know what point this guy is trying to make other than a thinly-veiled threat to the President. I hear Obama's detractors calling him a tyrant but I have yet to see him remove a single right from anyone.

Bringing a gun to where the president is speaking is pretty much asking the Secret Service to kick you ass. Hell, that's true for guns in public in general in most states.

Plus, if this guy had set one foot off private property then he'd have been in trouble.

Not to a Secret Service agent. Or to anyone else with a minimum of combat training.

True. But you'll also learn that someone with a gun can be dealt with swiftly by someone who knows what they're doing.
