Public property. City property. Event open to the public. She was "trespassing", ticketed and given a court date. Her crime? A sign that reads McCain = Bush. Interesting times we live in.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

While I agree this is totally egregious, don't forget it happens with them all.

I can't get the video to play, but, assuming there's nothing else to it, this is quite awful. I just wonder if there's any more background, or if this is standard operating procedure for both candidates. Regardless, it stinks.Bob Juch wrote:That was a lot more than simply holding a sign.Beebs52 wrote:While I agree this is totally egregious, don't forget it happens with them all.

It was SOP for President Bush when making campaign stops and holding "town hall meetings". I don't know how it is among the Democrats these days, but it wouldn't surprise me to find out that they, too, would prefer to exclude "disruptive elements".Beebs52 wrote:I can't get the video to play, but, assuming there's nothing else to it, this is quite awful.
