Here we go again. Just like G. W. Bush, the man that ‘Maverick’ John McCain is trying so hard to emulate, the one who has a 29 percent approval rating, the McCain campaign seems to believe in freedom--but only if you don’t disagree with them on anything.
You’ve probably heard about this one already, but yesterday at a town-hall meeting open to the public in downtown Denver, a woman was issued a ticket for trespassing and escorted from the public sidewalk outside the event after a security guard called police.
The problem? She was carrying a sign that read “McCain = Bush.” As she told someone who filmed the event, “Why would someone who supports McCain find this sign offensive?”
Here's video of the incident:
If you recall, our fine metro po-po’s have a history of this sort of thing. Back in 2005, three ticket-holders who were attempting to attend a presidential talk in Denver were removed by someone claiming to be a secret service agent after people reported that they found the bumper stickers on their car offensive. The White House later claimed it was a mistake made by a White House staffer. As carpetbagger asks, was this person punished for impersonating an officer with the secret service? Whose idea was it in the first place to remove ‘potential protesters’ who up to then had done nothing wrong but drive to the event in a car bearing a sticker that stated dissatisfaction with Bush’s foreign policy?
Proposed new Republican slogan: “Freedom. We believe in it, as long as you don’t use it."
