Same old shit, different election

John McCain was in Denver, CO, today for a town hall meeting. The event, at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, was billed as “open to the public.” Yet Carol Kreck, a 61-year-old librarian carrying a “McCain=Bush” sign, was taken away by police for trespassing. A police officer told Kreck:

"You have two choices. You can keep your sign here and receive a ticket for trespassing, or you can remove the sign and stay in line and attend this town hall meeting."

Video here of how Republicans will once again, as they did in 2004 and 2006, unconstitutionally deny citizens their rights to free speech, expression and the right to 'peaceably assemble' on public property.

And here's another video on what the 'authorities' plan on doing to 'disperse crowds' in Denver during the Democratic Convention in August.


We're screwed up.
