You silly little democrats are such hypocrites. I don't recall such  
indignity being expressed when he kicked reporters off his plane  
yesterday. I know that was a long time ago, but please!

There's also this concept of freedom of association or assembly. You  
may have heard of it:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_assembly>

That means you have a right to associate with individuals of your  
choosing -- usually to express political views. Look a little deeper  
and you'll understand it's okay to exclude those from your assembly  
that don't share your views. That's why Boy Scouts have the right to  
expel gays from their ranks, so long as they don't feed at the public  
funding trough.

Those expelled didn't have a right to disrupt McCain's free speech  
rights or to disturb those exercising their rights to freedom of  
association. They may gain that right in an Obama thugocracy, but  
they don't have that right now.
