...lawsuit filed yesterday by the ACLU against the White House and the Secret Service on behalf of two West Virginia Republicans, Jeff Rank, 29, and Nicole, 30, who were arrested on July 4 at a Charleston, West Virginia, rally for President Bush, because they refused to remove two home-made T-shirts sporting the circle-and-slash "no" symbol superimposed over the word "Bush."
According to the suit, filed by the ACLU in federal court, even though the Ranks had tickets to the event, which was held on the grounds of the state capital, and were not being disruptive, city police arrested and handcuffed them, charging them with trespassing, and held them for several hours, on instructions of the Secret Service, the federal police agency that is tasked with "protecting" the president.
Nicole, who works for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, a notorious nest of right-wing loonies, was also temporarily suspended from her job following the arrests.
I'm not going to quibble (as you know, I hate quibbling) but those are hardly "liberals protesting", Johnny. And my spider sense tells me there's more here than meets the eye. I'll look into it:
With a name like "Rank" it shouldn't be hard.
And, USA, carrying firearms is a right in this country - that's why they're doing it - so, if you don't like it, find another.
I like how both of you ignored the point of the post - liberal media lies and deceptive editing - to make your own points. Changing the subject is also how liberals fight.
It's weird. Like you're not really people or something. You'd never get away with that in a normal, offline, conversation.
Proof, Johnny, proof. Start with the t-shirts arrests.

Wearing rude t-shirts is one thing, carrying loaded firearms to political rallies is another.
ReplyDeleteEnough is enough. Time for Obama and the secret service to take a page from the Bush playbook and CRACK DOWN on these "tea bagger" idiots.
That's what the Patriot Act is for, after all.

Oh, and one more thing:

ReplyDeleteWhat you got, I (or any other sane person) wouldn't want. Keep on whining.
ReplyDeleteHa - then explain why you're here, genius.
ReplyDeleteThis ought to be good.
Heard about this whacked out paranoid blog and had to see for myself if you were as off the wall as I heard.
ReplyDeleteYea, but that doesn't explain why you're STILL here.
