Yet, you failed to respond with even once instance of Bush stifling dissent. Not even one.

You were thrown out of an event if you wore a t-shirt that was not favorable to Bush or a Bush policy.

What president has given the fewest press conferences of any modern president?

Hmm, let's see. "Protest zones" well away from any rallies or routes of the motorcades. Throwing out, or even arresting, people with the wrong t-shirts or even bumper stickers. Few press conferences, and when he does have them, no questions are allowed.

The list goes on.

They can't give any examples of stifling dissent. The things they're throwing out are matters of liberals wanting rights to stifle conservative speech by disrupting rallies. Like the Code Pink goofs at the Republican convention.
