That's a good argument. Not one that I agree with, but one I'll ponder for a while before I have a good answer.

Free speech doesn't mean you can go anywhere you want yelling about whatever you want to yell about.

Actually, excepting private property, and those few things specifically exluded by the Supreme court as presenting a clear and present danger to life and property ("fire" in a crowded theater), or obscenity, it pretty much does mean just that.

If you wait until protestors get disruptive its to late to prevent it.

Now there's a legal term for that argument, and it's just plain wrong. You cannot punish what might possibly happen, just what has happened.

If you want to protest do so, or are you afraid you won't have the camera coverage you get with a presidential visit?

The president is not the only thing the media is there to cover on a presidential visit. No need to go ad hominem just to wrap up your argument. You started out really strong, but finished pretty weak, there.
