Notice the difference between how each campaign handles the sitiuation. Kerry workers plan to persuade the offenders to change their minds. Bush workers lob thinly veiled threats (beat up by Americans??) before kicking the offenders out. Can anyone say desperate?


Wearing Opponent's Gear Can Mean Arrests, Ejections

Hmm.....could also be that Democrats who try to get into a Republican rally sporting Kerry gear are a lot more rowdy and combative. And it could be that the Republicans are not so combative. If someone is nice and cooperative they don't HAVE to be arrested and carted out.

"What exactly is this foreign policy experience?" Obama said mockingly of the New York senator. "Was she negotiating treaties? Was she handling crises? The answer is no."

So in response to a story.... you speculate your way to blaming the victim. Classy.

You forget one key thing: These were ABC News employees, acting politely. Not some random protesters where it's a matter of "he said, she said."

Bush is afraid of dissenting viewpoints, afraid of meeting actual Americans. He can only speak to the converted. I find that telling and sad.

My favorite bit: The guys removed for wearing "protect civil liberties" T-shirts. Isn't it interesting how that was construed as being anti-Bush?

You lessen yourself by defending BS behavior like this. Loyalty oaths and other nonsense have no place in American politics.

This Is going on both sides. Well, they are both making the accusation. In Florida the Dems were attacking the Repubs. Not everywhere but at some of the pre-polling areas. I am sure that in some areas of the country this is going to happen.

This article wasn't about what people are claiming is going on, they actually showed what happened at a few of the rallies. The reactions were very different. It was another example of this kind of reaction: where someone jumps to a conclusion that has no basis in fact.
