As I was driving to work this morning, doing the daily routine, sitting in my car in traffic listening to NPR, I heard a interesting story.
Apparently, a man wearing a Kerry t-shirt at a Bush rally was not allowed to go in and in fact, was asked to leave and escorted out of the rally. On the same note, a man wearing a Bush t-shirt was at a Kerry rally and no one said or did anything about it. According to both parties, I believe there is only one person on the blacklist for Kerry rallies and whatnot … while there are pages of people on the blacklist for Bush rallies. The story continued with other ancedotes about people getting kicked out for wearing Kerry and pro-abortion paraphernalia. A man who was invited as a VIP to one Bush rally happened to be at a Kerry rally earlier in the day figured he could cover his Kerry shirt with a long denim button up shirt. Well as soon as he got to the door and was searched the Secret Service tore up his ticket and ordered him to leave. A couple with tickets attending a Presidential outting by our “beloved” president was turned away because of wearing a Kerry pin on their lapels or something like that. They were arrested and jailed for 2 hours. The mayor of the town apologized perfusely and blames the feds for the jailing. Apparently, at a Presidential apperance, which is paid for by the tax payers, anyone is allowed to attend no matter what you are wearing. Rallies and the sort, are paid for by the parties or campagins and can tell anyone they choose to leave.
I just wanted to share.
Have a great day.
