NOW you're gonna get it...
a) Fanatical terrist Cindy Sheehan was arrested before the SOTU last night for wearing a t-shirt that said '2245 dead. How many more?'.

b) Freedom-hating stormtroopers manhandle a Republican congressman’s wife and throw her out of the SOTU for wearing a t-shirt that read “Support the Troops - Defending Our Freedom.”

Beverly Young's husband, a Republican who chairs the House appropriations subcommittee on defense, was unaware she was removed until after the speech. He said he was furious about the incident.

"I just called for the chief of police and asked him to get his little tail over here," Rep. Young said late Tuesday. "This is not acceptable."

Ms Young said, "Wait until the president finds out."

Uh-huh. Right.

As Shakespeare's Sister says, Yeah, wait until he does. Like he’ll care.

So far conservatives have been perfectly content to sit back and watch liberals get censored, marginalized, and cast as traitors for what they have to say, but once a government starts criminalizing free speech just to silence dissenters, it’s not long before those who once found themselves celebrating the harassment of those with whom they disagree suddenly realize that they’re not as free as they used to be, either. Wake up, morons. We’re all in this together, like it or not.
