Just saw this at the useful idiots site known as DU. Is this shit true? A part of the parade route was made a free speech zone?

"President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama stepped out of their limousine in downtown D.C., following the longstanding tradition of the president strolling for a portion of his inaugural parade down the city's main boulevard.

The Obamas stepped out of their car near the intersection of 8th Street and Pennsylvania Ave NW, near the US National Archives and Records Administration building.

The first couple walked past the FBI building, before stepping back into the limousine before reaching Freedom Plaza.

Freedom Plaza is the site of one of the only authorized demonstration zones, where a strip of the plaza is designated a free speech zone.

The Obamas again stepped out of their limo near the Treasury Building to finish their trip from the Capitol to the White House."


So now we have "free speech zones".

Didn't the GOP convention do this?  That and we used them against the occutards.  Amazing what it does in terms of making free speech ok, but now only with permission.

That must have puckered the Secret Service's assholes right up solid.

I guess we're in for four years of free speech with permission only.

Just more reasonable restrictions.

This has been going on for a while, at least before GW



You also need a permit in most places to exercise your freedom of assembly

pretty sure that shit started with Bush, maybe earlier, but I remember Bush taking heat for it

"Speach"? Seriously?

I first heard of it during the Clinton years but it was kind of lost in all the NWO noise, GW took it to a whole new level



Apparently been around for a while: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_speech_zone



 

They started doing this under W.  the dems were very pissed off about it at the time. Now it's our turn to suffer.

At least we aren't in Singapore. They have 10 square feet in a park in their capital that is designated as a free speech zone, all other locations are censored speech zones.

Sometimes you have to push the dog's face in the turd.

Yeah. How 'bout a "Correct Spelling/Spell Check Zone"?

Gee, I wonder why the antis label us as a bunch of illiterate neckbeards?

It's spelled "SPEECH" for fucks sake. This is the twelfth time I've seen it spelled that way on this website in the last week.

Pull your head out of your ass.

don't pick on me it has been a long day.

Maybe you should have been protesting this back when Bush was in power and abusing it, instead of waiting until the guy you don't like had access to it.  

First time I have ever heard of it.

There is/was a "Free Speech Zone" at Chico State when I was there. More than anything, it was just used for "ultimate Frisbee" and as a place for dirty hippies to rabble on and protest.

There was also a bake sale once.
