Will the MSM pick up on the fact that there were NO "Free Speech Zones" in Elkhart, IN, today?

I'm betting it goes unnoticed.

1. There are indeed "Free Speech Zones" just not the kind we have come to recognize.

Free Speech Zones were created in the Clinton era. They came about because of protests at "abortion clinics". It came about because people were being harassed when going in or coming out of Clinics and people wanted a buffer zone. It was made into law that protesters had to maintain a certain distance from the entrance of those clinics and they got the name "Free Speech Zones" from that. The protesters felt their "Free Speech" rights were being denied and took it to court. The court ruled there could indeed be special "zones" where the protesters had to remain..Bush* took that to a much level.

3. The same concep was then applied to strikers - courts agreed to employer requests

to have strikers pushed back behind a buffer zone, using the abortion cases as precedent.

2. Were there protesters?

I can't imagine there were.

5. There was one woman who asked some pointed questions I hear.

I'm watching it now. Bush was never received with so much affection anywhere, not even at home.

4. That's a good question, Boz. It will be interesting to see if anyone does. Here is the link
