Freedom of Speech

President Bush delivered a July 4th address before a naturalization ceremony for new citizens at Thomas Jefferson's home of Monticello that was repeatedly interrupted by protesters who called out "war criminal" and "impeach Bush."

According to news accounts, "shouts from protesters were heard during Bush's remarks," while a transcript notes repeated occurrences all through the speech of "Audience disturbance," "Audience interruption," and "Audience interruption continues."

"Protesters made it hard to hear President Bush Friday," Fox News reported.

  Raw Story

He wasn't saying anything worth hearing anyway.

Is this a harbinger of a slight improvement in our situation? Usually in the Reign of George the Bush these people would have been relegated to “free speech zones” and not seen or heard in his presence.
