Bush Scandal In Fargo!!!

[Odin]

People here (even some Republicans) are enraged after it came to light a few days ago that Bush's cronies had a "Do not Admit" list when he came to Fargo a few days after the inaguration. The people on the list are not left-wing activists or trouble-makers, just average people in this area. This is unlike other rallies, where there was no list, you just had to do a "loyalty oath" and get kicked out if you criticize Bush.

The questions are:
1. How did the administration get the info to make the list?
2. wouldn't this violate one's constitutional right to petition one's government?

Is the Democratic Underground's server down again?

Don't be silly, everyone knows that when the server is down one goes to Counterglow.

"1. How did the administration get the info to make the list?"

Likely from people known to have views opposed to the administration who might cause trouble.

"2. wouldn't this violate one's constitutional right to petition one's government?"

For a private rally, no, no more then you have a right to go into GWB's bedroom at night to yell at him.

But Shi, this secrecy is destroying our democracy! Bush is obviously spying on the good people of Fargo!

The Stasi compiled a huge list of people known to have views opposed to the administration who might cause trouble from a sweeping network of informants.

Who made the Fargo list, and who contributed to it?

In any case, I'm not too upset, since it's my understanding it was a private function...

Bush is a PUBLIC OFFICIAL, If Bush wanted it to be a rally for his fellow Republicans he should say so, if not than it is a PUBLIC event, not a private one.

Proof once again that the Dems are getting desperate when they have to hype stories like this one in a lame attempt to discredit the president.

Hell, aren't there enough real issues to discredit him with

No. Bush is kind of like Jesus, except more perfect.

The problem is, this is indicitive of the overall apporchability of Bush. You can't even protest him in his presence anymore. If you have an anti-Bush sign on a route he is traveling, you will be arrested.

First... "apporchability"?

Second... I've seen anti-bush signs on TV where he has been present, so your implication that ALL those that do so WILL be arrested is kind of stretching it a "tad"...

And Last.. Come on, desperation time... stick to abusing him for real meaningful reasons... I'm a Republican, and I can find far more things to attack him on that are far more important than this

Yes, but I'd have to search Salon for a while, and I don't wish to do this.
