Civil liberties

The Bush campaign, apparently, is agin’ ’em.
Janet Voorhies said she was curious to see how Republicans would react when she and two other women showed up at President Bush's Central Point rally wearing T-shirts stating "Protect Our Civil Liberties."
She got her answer before the president even spoke. The three women were ejected from the rally and escorted from the Jackson County Fairgrounds by state police officers who warned them they would be arrested if they tried to return...
Yep, according to Voorhies, a campaign worker called her shirt ‘obscene’.

I see. Yep. Lotta people feel that way about civil liberties, I’m sure. I mean, no one wants to see that, lady... There are children present.

Now, I'm sure there’s a rational explanation, of course. Probably, they just got in the way of the crew shooting a documentary at the rally, or something...

I mean, I’ve heard that Ms. Riefenstahl can get awfully bitchy about that kinda thing...

(Goose-steps out...)
