"... Isn't this a democracy?" Ah, a public school teacher. No Ms. Mead, it's a Constitutional Republic... Not a Democracy.And you got off pretty easy.

I think these folks should be welcomed and escorted right to the midle of the crowd.

They're working overtime to keep Nader off the ballot, they are smearing the Swifties and tried to bride Admiral Huffman to shit him up---and the press is interested in these manufactured stories?
To: Lexinom
I think it's bad policy to prevent these people from hearing the President. The perception is bad, which is something he needs to minimize. If they act up, then make them leave, but they should have the opportunity to hear him. However unlikely, there's always a chance the President might sway them.

I'm dubious. Why would the Secret Service rip up her ticket? They just told her she couldn't wear that button. Why didn't she just turn it over to the Secret Service if it was so important for her to see the President?

"It really is comedic," said a man holding a Kerry/Edwards sign. "
My sentiments exactly. Typical of so many teachers today. They think that they are entitled to break any rule they don't agree with and this is the kind of rhetoric that they teach their students. This country is really going to suffer down the road when these students grow up to be voters.

The democrats do the SAME THING. Try getting into a Kerry rally with a Bush-Cheney button.
I have some co-workers who couldn't get into the Kerry "townhall meeting" because they didn't have any democrat connections.

"I really, truly wanted to have the experience of having seen the president and hear him speak, which is very important to me as a social studies teacher," she said. "How can anyone in the United States deny someone entry? Isn't this a democracy?"1. Is anybody really surprised that a government-school social studies teacher doesn't know the difference between a democracy and a constitutional republic?
2. How rude do you have to be to attend a political event and flaunt your support for the speaker's opponents on your shirt? What a moron.
To: Lexinom
This is a campaign rally. It's paid for by the Bush campaign. Why should Kerry supporters be permitted to use a Bush campaign rally to spread a pro-Kerry message at the Bush campaign's expense?

Went to the Dick Cheney event in CO earlier in the month. The young guy ahead of me had a T-shirt on underneath a regular shirt. They made him lift up the top shirt to see if his undershirt had any sayings on it.
As far as I understand, these events aren't for the general public. They aren't townhall meetings. They are for the party faithful. I was invited to the Cheney event because I donated to Bush/Cheney. She could have went in had she taken off that sticker. Obviously she refused. She shouldn't have worn it to the event if she really wanted to hear the President speak.
Of course, the cynic in me says this was a setup from the get-go.

The Secret Service mans security checkpoints, not ticket booths. It was a staffer who refused entry to the woman because she refused to remove her Kerry sticker. She has a right to her opinions, and the rally has the right to freedom of association.
A sob story over nothing. If she wanted in, all she had to do was not display the sticker. But of course, that's 'wrong' to her. Tough luck, lady. It was a political rally.
