Texas Couple Arrested for Wearing Anti-Bush Shirts at July 4 Campaign Stop

Come on, nobody can defend this, even jokingly. This is ridiculous.

 

It is comments like these that will get you onto my ignore list. These people are degreed professionals who were ARRESTED FOR WEARING A T-SHIRT.

I don't like to label people fascists, but this is the kind of thing that fascist governments do.

EDIT: I saw that you were kidding, Faos, but it is truly sad that ANYONE can defend this action in ANY way.

 

Sorry, IROC it, but you are dead wrong here. The United States Constitution protects free speech for all American citizens, no matter what that free speech consists of. We obviously have a commander in chief who likes to use the United States Constitution as his own personal roll of "TP for his bunghole", as was evidenced in the United States Senate yesterday. George W. Bush's arrogance towards the freedoms that made this country great is turning into his downfall, and, as a freedom loving American who holds the United States Constitution as the most sacred document in our land, I couldn't be more pleased.

 

1. I wasn't there, but i heard that there were other people there also wearing T-shirts who were not arrested. What's up with that?

2. Surely if they had had their diplomas hanging around their necks, this would not have happened. We need more elitism.

 

this is indefensible given the facts we have so far from this article.

 

Okay, go back to a screening of UnFairenheit 9/11 and start screaming "FIRE!" or even better "ANTHRAX!"

See what happens to you...

 

It is truly a sad day in America when we have a president that is so insecure that he can't even stand the thought of someone disagreeing with him or his policies. That he would feel threatened by a T shirt!

 

Do you have a shred of evidence to back up that assertion? DId Bush order the arrest? or did it just happen with him having no idea at all about it?

 

Why do I need evidence?

Obviously Jr never used any.

 

this is the worst debate ever.

but i'd like to add, "i know you are, but what am i?"

 

I forgot the ---->

And yet another reason I've been in lurk mode this last week or so. I guess I have hit that "Outrage Fatigue"

 

Can't we be adults about this?.....Mr Poopie Pants!

 

Typical.....

 

If you threaten the President it doesn't matter whether it is in his earshot or line of sight. It is illegal and you can (and should) be arrested. Saying you "hate the president" is a statement of opinion not a threat and not illegal (yet). Do you really want to live in a country where our leaders are shielded from the feelings of the citizens?

 

1. Has a protestor wearing a T-shirt critical of a sitting President ever been arrested at one of that sitting President's political rallies? Apparently not.

2. Have citizens protested a sitting President in the past in worse ways than this without being arrested? Definitely.

Do your math, or go back to school, shill.

 

There you guys go again with the personal insults.

Will it never end?

 

These liberals have had a field day insulting our President, insulting our country, and insulting our troops and their leadership. So a couple of of the lunatic fringe get arrested. BIG FREAKING DEAL. Obviously they were just there to draw attention to themselves. Obviously they were there to get people angry. They deserved what they got. BOO FREAKING HOO.

 

All I'm going to say is I'm glad they hadn't invented Viagra when Hitler was in power.

Have a nice day.

 

You just know that if tj had been around during the Revolutionary War he would be posting his little leaping smilies every time he heard about one of those dirty rebels getting locked up.
