The demonstrators at the Obama rally were also in a public space - but yet cordoned off by barricades (were the Sumter Square protesters put behind barricades?) Do security concerns only extend to the President? Ask congresswoman Giffords and George Wallace about that. Are security personnel allowed to do racial/gender/age profiling when they follow security procedures? If you want to be embarrassed about something, be embarrassed for the media that fails to point out that segregating protesters happens in many venues - not just TV.
