Not that they're worried or anything. But the White House evidently leaves little to chance when it comes to protests within eyesight of the president. As in, it doesn't want any.

A White House manual that came to light recently gives presidential advance staffers extensive instructions in the art of "deterring potential protestors" from President Bush's public appearances around the country.

Well sure I don't dispute that, but that's not the issue. This White House treats everyone who disagrees with them as lepers. Disagreeing with someone doesn't make them an enemy. You and I disagree on this, but I have no plans to go to Philip and tell him to remove you from the forums.

The Bush Administration does things bass ackwards.

You've gotta give them credit though, they did a fantastic job of hiding it from the majority of the American (voting) public.

LOL.. no I don't think "every" person that that disagrees with the President, should be thought as a enemy of the country.

As a Independent Moderate, I totally agree that if you don't like what the President is doing, voice your opinion.

But there are a lot of protesters that start to talk, not just about there opinions, but start to "cut down" the entire country as a whole.. and also, as we have seen some go to the extreme, as to get hostile intentions. http://www.boston.com/news/nation/artic ... cials_say/

The first para is evident to that, in the NYPD Report that came out a few weeks ago: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20278590/

I agree that protestors can definitely take things overboard. I am just a little dismayed with how the Administration handles those who disagree with them.

They can always sprinkle in some agitators like the Quebec police did for the North American Union summit.
