1. So I assume the RNC will let it's protestors roam free?

Right, Ms. Dems Cage Free Speech?

2. classic example of the single issue voter in the first pic..

that maroon is so out of touch, he believes the Dems are the ones who started the Free Speech Zones™.

3. That's one of the anti-choice leaders from yesterday.

6. I am guessing that they will fill up the pen starting tonight

Thus allowing CNN et al to cut to the shot of people in the "Free Speech Zones" while say Clinton is speaking.

I won't be surprised if that happens.

Some of the people (in the photos at least)are anti-war protestors with the anti-NAFTA anti-WTO crowd soon to follow-that should be when it gets REAL interesting, hard rightwingers penned in with dirty stinky ;-) anarchists

4. they built a pen for 1 anti abortion nut?

5. LOL-Terry would probably like you to think they did

I think his organization has more to do with him than the cause it proports.

7. Fucking free speech is upbeat and positive, right?

So it is cool to deny free speech to Americans, as long as it's the Dem Party denying?

Disgusting.

8. I don't think anyone was saying free speech zones are ok with

democrats.

It is disgusting, I agree. Though unfortunately this is a topic that is not getting discussed. This may at least be a way to bring it to attention, for they surely will not note the free speech zones at the Republican convention. Kinda like democrats forwarding the draft bill in order to get people to re-think needless war.

At least I hope that's what it meant.

9. Someone should tell the asshole w/the sign that his prez did this.
