A 61-year-old librarian was ticketed (her court date is July 23rd), escorted off a public plaza outside a McCain town hall meeting, and threatened with arrest for carrying a sign that read “McCain=Bush.” (Hey, it’s a free country – you ought to be able to be arrested for anything, so long as it’s not hurting other people, right?)
You really have to watch the two-minute video. I love what she asks at the end: “Why is [the sign] offensive? Why would Republicans who voted for Bush find it offensive?”
I suppose it would be gilding the lily to note that when the grotesquely unchristian Reverend Phelps holds up signs reading “God Hates Fags” outside funeral services, he is not ticketed, forced to leave, or threatened with arrest. (Nor, in America, should he be.)
This took place in Denver.
