Bushist outrage of the week - the No Rally List

Seems that the fight for freedom and democracy that Bushotep II doesn't apply in the US, at least not when it comes to access to the President's public events as a servant of the people.

Here's a quote from Salon from 2/7/2005:

"When Bush traveled to Fargo, N.D., for a forum there Thursday, more than 40 area residents found themselves on a list that prohibited them from getting tickets. Suspected terrorists? In the eyes of local Republicans maybe -- the residents on the list all seem to be known, one way or another, for their liberal political views."

Their crimes:

- being a city commisioner

- being a university professor

- hosting a liberal radio talk show

- being involved in a Democratic gubernatorial campaign

- being a high school student

- being a member of Howard Dean's Democracy for America Meetup group.

The White House's response? "Overzealous volunteers"; "We knew nothing of it". How typical--next they'll blame it on "a few bad apples".
