Not prior restraint. Black Letter Law. The Bush event, being private and not a public accomodation, can keep people from attending their function for ANY reason. (that's why the BSA can keep homosexuals out. It's a right to associate thing, you prolly wouldn't understand.) There are documented cases where a "Bush/Cheney" sign was enough of an incitement to cause a breach of the peace at various events. One, which took place in a public airport, involved a big burly union guy terrorizing a 3 year old girl after ripping the sign from her hands and shredding it in front of her, as she sat on her father's shoulders. That WAS at a public forum kind of situation. So, yeah, people do crazy shit when it comes to politics, and keeping the two sides separated is a very good idea.
