I'm not going to claim the Repubs are innocent of this too, but the Dems are just as guilty at attacking 1st Amendment rights.
You neglected to mention that they also had one at the 2004 Republican Convention in NYC.....but I appreciate you not claiming the Republicans are innocent
"They are based on U.S. court decisions stipulating that the government may regulate the time and place -- but not content -- of expression"
"The Bush administration has been criticized by columnist James Bovard of The American Conservative for requiring protestors to stay within a designated area, while allowing supporters access to more areas. According to the Chicago Tribune, the American Civil Liberties Union has asked a federal court in Washington D.C. to prevent the Secret Service from keeping anti-Bush protesters distant from presidential appearances while allowing supporters to display their messages up close, where they are likely to be seen by the news media. Regarding free speech zones, U. S. District Court Judge Douglas Woodlock has commented that "One cannot conceive of what other design elements could be put into a space to create a more symbolic affront to the role of free expression."

In 1984 I got to see Ronald Reagan at Pierce College on his re-election campaign. There was a knot of leftist protesters surrounded by a very friendly (to Reagan) crowd. One of these guys was behind me, who got separated from the crowd and was set upon by a Reagan supporter who grabbed his sign and tried to rip it up. This resulted in a scuffle. I separated the two and handed the sign back to the protester and told the Reagan supporter to knock it off. I then got back to enjoying the rally.
