"The current president often EMBRACES dissent, frequently pointing out that it is the essence of our nation's freedom." Which, I suppose, explains the loyalty oath required during the 2004 campaign... And who can forget the protest zones?

The current president often EMBRACES dissent, frequently pointing out that it is the essence of our nation's freedom. He may believe that in theory but in practice, Bush has everyone carefully screened who attends his public events to insure a friendly audience: "But these "Ask President Bush" campaign forums, the eighth of which was held at Northern Virginia Community College here Monday, leave little to chance. The national Bush campaign staff works through a local Republican office to assemble an audience of 1,000 to 2,500 people, depending on the site. The party offers registered party volunteers two tickets — and says more are available if volunteers want to bring open-minded friends." usatoday.com
