Since most of this thread turned into "It happened here" or "The GOP/Democrats did it here.." I'd like to take a chance to clarify my thread question:

Should discrimination of this type, based merely on percieved political opinion, be allowed?

Is there a time where preventing "protestors" from being allowed into the same area as other citizens would be justified? If so, where, when and why? This will likely resound along your beliefs on giving up freedoms for safety, so I'm curious to see your response to THIS question.
EDIT- My opinion: No. In cases where thousands of protestors could block trafic or otherwise impede a conclusion to the events, I think that ALL the people should be moved away so that the cars can go through, etc. Moving protestors alone sends a message that their political dissonance is the reason for being seperated, not a smooth operation of the event.
