I have 2 thoughts on this.
1. It seems like it is a publicity stunt for its own sake more than anything - the depth of their political analysis seems to be "we mustn't have a bare chested president who rides a horse". Its like a clown act. They're safe. So Madonna can speak up for them, but I don't hear her speaking up for Julian Assange, who has been targeted for death by the US/UK according to Snowden's documents.
2. If some US group tried that at say the superbowl, the response would be equally brutal if not worse. the american crowd would do the cossak's job.
