A supporter of President Bush pulled a demonstrator's hair on Thursday as the president was addressing a crowd in Colmar, Pa.
And the Secret Service, who're supposed to be nonpartisan, restricted press access to the demonstrators:
Journalists were told that if they sought to approach the demonstrators, they would not be allowed to return to the event site -- even though their colleagues were free to come and go. An agent, who did not give his name, told one journalist who was blocked from returning to the speech that this was punishment for approaching the demonstrators and that there was a "different set of rules" for reporters who did not seek out the activists.
