Young Democrats Refused Entrance

[goddess40]

Bush is appearing in our town this Thursday. The president of the Young Democrats at the local state university campus went and stood in line for a ticket. She said she wanted to hear what he had to say. She was refused a ticket and they told her she was a "security threat." Seems the president of the Young Repukes at the university squealed on her. How sick is this? Now she is joining our Bush protest.

1. That's scary that they knew who she was.

2. My friend

at that same campus was trying to get tickets....she's supposed to e-mail me later today. I'll keep you informed.

4. After being refused a ticket, she was told

by the Secret Service, "C'mon, you've already heard all this stump speech crap before. You're not missing anything." :evilgrin:

I'm glad she's joining the protest. Send along some DU-brand support!

5. A security threat???

A college student who wants to hear the President of the United States is a security threat simply because she supports the other candidate? Jeezus, what have we come to?

6. She's a threat because...

she might question Bush...and that sends him perilously close to a stroke. :evilgrin:

7. I don't even know why we post this stuff anymore.

I mean, is anyone surprised?

This is just SOP for these assholes.

8. Now she'll have that in her FBI file for life.

She should use the Freedom of Information Act, if it's still recognized, to check out her file in a few months. Many jobs require security clearance - That's just the kind of dirty, knife-in-the-back behavior I'd expect from a Bush supporter.

9. i think if bush brings up the word "freedom" in the next two debates...

kerry should counter with something like "the president talks alot about spreading freedom around the globe, yet he has his audience sign a loyalty oath to disuade any form of dissent. I think America has a responsiblity to the world and to its citizens to practice what it preaches."

i don't know if that would score any points but i'd like to see it.

10. I wish these people would learn to carry a pocket tape recorder

or something to that effect. Get this fascist shit on tape . . .
