President Bush, not King George
The President of the United States of America is elected by the people in order that he or she may govern on their behalf. The president is not a monarch, not a king or a queen, not a prince or any such thing. These people hold positions that require other to kowtow and grovel, never express a contrary opinion and show utter docility, unswerving respect. Monarchs are to the people as masters are to slaves (at least in theory).
Why should President Bush be permitted exception to this dynamic? Does his position put him above protest and contrary opinions? Well, according to the New York Times Republicans say that they will try to portray protesters at the GOP convention in New York as “Democratic-sanctioned displays of disrespect for a sitting president.”
God forbid!

God forbid we can hold a convention in this city without those diguisting fucks harrassing/assaulting visitors to the city, destroying property, putting cops in the emergency room and lighting fires in the streets. Cuz, you know, its not like we have other threats to deal with.
Disgusting Fucks? Why don't you tell everyone how you really feel.
Political protest may not be something that Republicans tend to do (after all they are the G.O.P., and better than such plebeian public displays) but that doesn't make a dirty democratic trick, or illegal for that matter.
