WaPo: WH manual details how to deal with protesters

Some quotes:
"A White House manual that came to light recently gives presidential advance staffers extensive instructions in the art of "deterring potential protestors" from President Bush's public appearances around the country.

- -

The "Presidential Advance Manual," dated October 2002 with the stamp "Sensitive -- Do Not Copy," was released under subpoena to the American Civil Liberties Union as part of a lawsuit filed on behalf of two people arrested for refusing to cover their anti-Bush T-shirts at a Fourth of July speech at the West Virginia State Capitol in 2004. The techniques described have become familiar over the 6 1/2 years of Bush's presidency, but the manual makes it clear how organized the anti-protest policy really is."


we knew this. We felt it in our bones. And now we have confirmation. Well, it worked. It demoralized people, made up believe that there were no protests and no protesters. In fact, they were pushed around like cattle and culled from the herd and from events.

We need to spread this word around the netroots. Now that we know their plans, we can work on ways to avoid them.

Down the toilet wit the rest of the rights that have been assaulted by these fascists!
