If someone came into a F 9/11 private screening with Micheal Moore, wearing a pro Bush shirt, can you tell me with 100% certianty (sic) that they would have been removed?
Also, they couldn't have been arrested for inciting a riot because of what their shirts said.

Their t-shirts made it very likely that they were there to disrupt the event. As such, the people running the event had a right to keep them out. It's like the old "no shoes, no shirt, no service" bit. In a private venue, or in a public venue that has been rented for a private use, traditional "free speech" rights don't apply. There's TONS of caselaw on this.
In a private screening? Depends on who was doing the screening, wouldn't it? But do you have ANY doubt that a pro-bush person standing up and screaming at the crowd/screen in a regular commercial theater would be asked to leave?
And YES, you CAN be arrested for inciting to riot for wearing something so provocative that it would most likely cause an immediate breach of the peace. Examples of this is wearing a WWII German military uniform to a Holocaust survivor reunion, or a Klan uniform to a NAACP meeting. You'd get the shit beat out of you, and you'd DESERVE it.
