The hypocrisy includes "penning" people with anti-Bush signs, while allowing
pro-Bush crowds to throng wherever they like.  People with protest signs are
herded into areas where they can't be seen by cameras or by Bush supporters, in
flagrant violation of their rights, while others -- often far more noisy and
intrusive -- are allowed to assemble wherever they want.  This is the first
time this kind of constant penning of dissenting opinions has been done this
flagrantly.

And for those who always say "cite your source" on these things, you can find
