A Sign of the Times?

Apparently, the First Amendment is not allowed at Republican events.

Though I'm sure the Right to Bear Arms was in full effect.

The skinny: A woman was forced to leave an event in which John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for President of the United States, was speaking. Why? She was holding a sign. The sign said simply, "McCain=Bush." Apparently, that is offensive.

Well, it is offensive, but that's not the point I'm trying to make here. Or is it?

Here. Watch the video...



So she was ticketed for trepassing. At a public event. On public property. Because her sign equated McCain with Bush.

Hell, if the Republicans don't want to be compared to Bush...
