Nice link, Heather. Remember, what the Bush propaganda wranglers say and what they do are two different things. Of course, this comes from the liberal-biased media (ewwww, NPR!), so all conservatives will immediately reject it.
I am pleased that the Kerry camp is overall more respectful of the right to dissent. Bush's handlers sure do believe in gross manipulating of perception to alter reality, don't they? I would be interested in finding out more on possible violations by the Kerry camp, if possible. I suspect that some protestors are kept out of Kerry events too, but this story is illuminating. This is what the press needs to focus on -- on either camp.

This meshes with a story my sister told me while visiting Traverse City with an artsy liberal friend hosting a women's arts camp. Now admittedly, these people were pretty biased against Bush, but my sister told very similar stories concerning exploits with the President making a speech at a Traverse City rally. She even brought back a Traverse City paper, with many crowd cleansing stories along the same lines, including an open-minded republica refused access for wearing a Kerry sticker. Many protesters assembled , not even trying to get into the rally, were arrested or asked to leave prior to Bush's motorcade arrival. Biases added in, all this points to a pretty consistent picture...either Bush doesn't want to hear dissent, or his yes-men are trying to shield him from the fact it even exists.

Ya, I heard this on my way to work this morning, too. What caught me especially was how they not just threatened removal but arrest. What the fuck is that?
The political process is becoming far, far too orchestrated and about spin and bias planting for my tastes.
