Let freedom reign
But first, sign this loyalty oath.
Tight security and screening at [the Dictator-tot]'s campaign events in Iowa has led to at least five arrests, frightened one teenager, and caused several other people to be turned away when they failed to voice support for the president.
While some were protesters, others were escorted out of events or told to leave because they were wearing buttons or T-shirts for John Kerry. One of the latest incidents came when John Sachs, 18, went to see Bush last week. Sachs got a ticket to the event from school and wanted to ask the president about whether there would be a draft, about the war in Iraq, Social Security and Medicare.
But when he got there, a campaign staffer pulled him aside and made him remove his button that said Bush-Cheney '04: Leave No Billionaire Behind. The staffer quizzed him about whether he was a Bush supporter, asked him why he was there and what questions he would be asking the president.
"Then he came back and said, 'If you protest, it won't be me taking you out. It will be a sniper,' " Sachs said. "He said it in such a serious tone it scared the crap out of me."
