After being told by secret service to leave – because, you know, freedom of speech has no place in a national presidential election – Kreck begged the million dollar question, "Why would Republicans who voted for Bush find it offensive that McCain = Bush?" Why, oh why, indeed?!
Watch as Rachel Maddow, who's headlining MSNBC's Countdown this week, and journo James Moore shoot the shit on this sure-to-stink controversy. They also discuss how McCain's campaign screens liberal media.
The moral of the story is that John McCain and his cohorts think they can bully the American people and press. Maybe Kreck had a point…

Wow! I have to wonder how much of this story will be seen on other outlets besides Countdown. Fox noise perhaps? chuckle.
Kicking out someone at a GOP rally for using free speech is not new… at the 1956 Republican National Presidential Convention, a deligate was escorted out of the hall when he nominated "Joe Smith" for President. At the following Democratic Convention… that clip was played, and even spawned a song "THE MYTH of JOE SMITH". I would not be surprised if Carol Kreck, is invited to the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
I love that little old woman…good for her!
Why do republicans hate the elderly?
Republicans hate everyone, themselves included.
How anyone can really think four more years of this sort of anti-democratic, anti-Constitution, domestic terrorism is a good thing is utterly beyond me. Mccain continues to demonstrate that he's not just bushcheney (cont'd), he's bushcheney (moreso).
McCain f*cked up bad on this one.
It's going to be near impossible to character assassinate this lovely little lady.
I can't wait to see Fox and/or Bill O'Reilly try to label Ms. Kreck as a Commie liberal atheist who supports gay marriage and abortion and thus, was lucky that the police were kind enough not to haul her off the jail.
Perhaps Fox will run a photo of her and make her teeth yellow.
Gotta love the so-called town hall meeting. Faux democracy at its best. Bozo is dead. Long live McClown.
I love her. And she's right, what was so offensive to a republican about her sign? Bush = McCain, shouldn't they be proud of their president? Should McCain be treated like the Dixie Chicks now? Where is Ann Coulter crying treason?
Just a mere four days after the nation celebrated its independence and the fight for liberty, McCain takes a classic Republican dump on a true American expressing her freedom of speech. McShame is more of the same.
I disagree with Rachel, its of relevance whether the facility was a public or private one. If it was a publicly pay tax facility then they had no right to escort the old lady and the others out of it so long as they were not acting violently. They should've been allowed to show their signs and costumes.
I wonder however when the shoe is on the other foot like in the Denver convention where there will be a "chicken wire or chain link" awaiting protesters, how will the Obama darling media will report on it? Will there be the same amount of outrage and indignation?
Mayhaps the added security is there because Democratic protesters are nice-old ladies and Republican protesters are rabid, gun-toting hicks. Mayhaps…
John McCain is a fucking moron. How fucking dare they do this to this lady.
I am surprised old lady librarians still exist. I thought they went out with the Charleston.
It was a ticket-only event in a venue the McCain campaign had rented. She deserved to be arrested, not just ticketed.
Bitch. She should be home cleaning toilets, and fixing dinner.
I like the fair and balanced approach of MSNBC – have one commenter from the leftist of leftist sources, the Huffington Post. That alone negates everything MSNBC was trying to persuade us to believe. No reason why MSNBC is light years behind in viewership of Fox News.
emb, I hate to inform you but as far as 4 more years of undemocratic, unconstitutional, domestic terrorism is concerned that is not going to stop with the election of Obama as he aligned with President Bush and John McCain with the FISA bill. Unless the ACLU is successful in challenging this new law in court then you might just see little old ladies escorted away to prisons in Syria to be interrogated for having the guts to speak their minds over the telephone. Sounds absurd doesn't it? But then so does this. And by the way, Hilary Clinton voted against it. That was some Kool-aid Obama had us drink.
Obama and McCain, looking more alike everyday.
P.S. RYPD, why don't you just shut the fuck up?
And Hillary has her reason's why she did vote against it. Always a strategy lying in wait!
