- intljock, on 07/07/2008, -12/+305If McSame had any balls, he would have invited her inside and explained to America why he is NOT the same as Bush. Instead, his campaign took the cowards way out.
- tbetz, on 07/07/2008, -13/+226This arrest proves that the message on the sign is true.
Neither Bush nor McCain would permit anyone in the town hall who disagrees with them.
How long before McCain event attendees will be required to sign loyalty oaths?

- lhbaker, on 07/08/2008, -7/+105All they did was prove her right.
- macinit1138, on 07/08/2008, -1/+90To quote George Carlin: "Rights aren't rights if somebody can just take them away...they're more like temporary privileges"
- chrisrnps, on 07/07/2008, -10/+73Gee, reminds me of all the people that used to get kicked out of "open to the public" Bush campaign "townhalls". Guess she was more right than she realized.
- vacantlook, on 07/08/2008, -6/+68Wow, I didn't realize that McCain thought it was an insult being compared to the current president from the same political party to which he himself belongs. I myself would think of it as an insult, as I think Bush has been a horrible president; but why is McCain afraid of being compared to and equated with Bush and the Bush administration's policies?
- Hrodrik, on 07/08/2008, -5/+51She asks the right question: Why is it offensive? You people that support McCain also supported Bush, so what's the big deal?
- kayvman78, on 07/07/2008, -10/+53Sure sounds like something a Bush rally would do. So I guess the shirt was right.
- spoonboy, on 07/08/2008, -11/+52Land of the free, eeh?
- marabout40, on 07/08/2008, -10/+47McCain "townhalls" are a farce http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/6/14/0952/31661 ... and attending one is a risky undertaking especially if you're disabled http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/contributors/167 ...
- hwood, on 07/08/2008, -9/+44...should be McCain == Bush
- alapoet, on 07/08/2008, -10/+43Is there any depth to which McCain won't stoop?
"Attend a McCain rally -- see old ladies get the smackdown"? - TsuruchiBrian, on 07/08/2008, -2/+30I think it's because of our freedom. That's really the only reason ANYBODY could hate America.
- relby, on 07/07/2008, -9/+37McWretched strikes again! So much for the right to peacefully protest . . . .
- pintomp3, on 07/08/2008, -1/+25looks like mccain has been reading bush's presidential advance manual:

- wisefool9, on 07/07/2008, -6/+29Now there's a meme that deserves spreading;
McCain is scared of a 61-year-old lady.
And the funny thing is, she's not even a protester. Simply carrying in a sign does not make one a protester. I bet if it said "God hates F***" she'd be escorted to meet with him in private.
Next time lady, hide the sign in yer knickers. - alapoet, on 07/08/2008, -7/+30Actually, you'd probably be the hit of the party, dumbnuts.
Obama people love Carter. Carter people love Obama.
Obama even has Carter's endorsement.
Get a clue. - kingofinternet, on 07/08/2008, -1/+22that peapod sign is pretty clever and funny
- janedoe37, on 07/08/2008, -1/+21How is her sign "voicing dissent" though? As she said, some people would view it as a compliment. Her sign didn't say whether she approved or disapproved of McCain being like Bush. I'm sure there are several civil rights lawyers looking up her phone number as we type.
- tcbishop12, on 07/08/2008, -7/+26Any relation to new McCain campaign manager Schmidt (former Bush campaign architect) not permitting reporters on the McCain plane to be within 30 feet of the candidate unless they agree not to challenge McCain and always write favorable articles?
Wasn't it McCain's people who were pushing the story of the Obama staffer moving the two-scarved women from a photo-op behind the candidate? Kind of a big difference in saying - "no -- please sit here instead" and being forcibly ejected, don't you think? - carpespasm, on 07/07/2008, -3/+22Because John McCain's existing history of half-truth and event bending like his rallies with paid audiences make this seem like nothing new?
- inactive, on 07/08/2008, -2/+21the obligatory 'why doesnt this surprise me' never fails to get diggs ;)
the question is valid though.. it SHOULD surprise, and infuriate us - tcbishop12, on 07/08/2008, -3/+22McCaincient
- Nitrodist88, on 07/08/2008, -2/+20Obviously you're only allowed to come to public townhall meetings if you agree with McCain's ideology.
- rameshpreddy, on 07/08/2008, -5/+22Her next sign should read McCain / Bush = Oppressive dictators. Guess they are learning a few tricks from the likes of Saddam..
- RobN, on 07/08/2008, -29/+46Do you see anybody else in line holding a sign -- ANY sign? I didn't. Was she removed for the content of her sign, or for having a sign in the first place? She was clearly told she could get an admission ticket if she discarded the sign.
If I'm in a town hall meeting, the last thing I want is to be sitting behind the idiot with a sign, no matter what it says. I want to see the meeting, not the back of someone's sign.
But wait...we can't be reasonable here. It's obviously because McCain's a facist that this happens. Surely this will never, ever happen at an Obama rally, and if it did it would be the fault of the evil Secret Service, and not the fault of the tolerant, wonderful, saintly Obama...right? - Rohhob, on 07/08/2008, -2/+19Not that far off though.
- dopre, on 07/08/2008, -13/+29McCain = Pussy
- twiztidsinz, on 07/08/2008, -1/+17No.. She was clearly there to express a point.
McCain is just like Bush and it has been shown many times over and over.
If he's so offended by being mentioned with Bush, then what was he doing here?
http://hyperpapeterie.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/ ... - Equinox2012, on 07/08/2008, -1/+17This kind of ***** didn't happen until Bush took office. When he was governor of Texas, he was notorious for removing people he didn't like from addresses and allowing protesters to protest only on the outskirts of Austin away from media.
Now everybody does it. On the plus side, she made more of a point getting covered in the news than if she was just kicked out. - obscurant, on 07/07/2008, -15/+31You can be removed from a political venue because your voicing of dissent labels you as a protestor, and hence a threat. How many politicians in the US have been attacked by protestors? The Secret Service is protecting against threats, but these threats are the real voices of democracy, political dissent.
Make the government afraid, tell a politician off... - mushtakrakish, on 07/08/2008, -5/+20funny how people on mccain's end of the spectrum fight tooth and nail for the second amendment while seemingly overlooking the first. buffet-style bill of rights anyone?
- johnny23, on 07/08/2008, -1/+16I don't know. Maybe she was a Bush supporter and wanted to cheer on McCain and his policies which exactly reflect Bush's.
- minkusingh, on 07/08/2008, -5/+20another reason to not to vote for this illiterate dumbass...
- therealdeal101, on 07/08/2008, -3/+18*sigh*
whats happening to america?
its one thing after another.
do we have any rights anymore?
i really hope this guy doesnt make it to be president.
i dont think we can take another horrible president like him. - barbobot, on 07/08/2008, -1/+15Why not?
You'd be the the one who looked like an idiot. As a matter of fact, I would encourage you to. - Fordi, on 07/08/2008, -1/+15Wait, wait, so
So, calling someone Bush is equivalent to calling someone a *****?
That's offensive to ***** everywhere.
Seriously, now. "McCain == Bush" is commentary on policy. "Obama == *****" is little more than racist. If you were to go with "Obama == Jackson", "Obama == Osama", or almost anything else, your argument *may* have been defensible. As it is, you shot it in the foot by illustrating exactly *where* limits on speech do exist - hate speech. - bunit03057, on 07/08/2008, -3/+17Yea actually, I went to an Obama event in NH, and they kicked my friend out because of the anti-Dem shirt he was wearing. I guess they thought he would be a disturbance and stir up bad press for them. Can you imagine if a "don't taze me bro" video occurred at one of these meetings? It would be the end of their candidacy.
- BlacklabelSAR, on 07/08/2008, -2/+16"Look, you are free, ok? So shut up and get back in line or you might just lose your freedom."
- Khast, on 07/08/2008, -6/+19Free speech has gone the way of the Dodo. It is only free speech if you agree with whom you are addressing.
- Aikidi, on 07/08/2008, -7/+20preach.
obamas people toss protestors out too.
and shockingly for most digg users, unlike the often compared to christ, he has yet to be quoted saying "let the children come to me" in spite of his supporters actions.
wake up - Hrodrik, on 07/08/2008, -0/+13Excellent
