Reply #107: It's not a "claim", it's a fact.

[Warren DeMontague]

And I didn't say it was acceptable. I just said I, personally, have bigger fish to fry than insuring that anti-abortion people have free access to scream and wave bloody placards at delegates on their way into OUR convention. It's not my "wish" to paint the demonstrators as mainly "fetus people", that was my experience, in Chicago, in 1996. The vast majority of people protesting the dem. convention were right wing anti-abortion people.

And the gist of these thread, mainly, has been that this is something "new" and hence horrific. It's not, again, and that's not a "claim", it's a fact. I don't remember if there was razor wire in 96, or not. There was a big ol' fence, I know that.

Free speech is not something to be "accommodated" - it is our right under the First Amendment.

Fine, tell it to Mr. Ashcroft. Hate to break it to you, but I'm not in charge of these things.
