Free speech applies to republicans only

[buff2]

Remember when President Clinton was in office and how all the repukes called him everything from a traitor,to a MURDERER? I would like to know why it is that bu$h is so protected from dissenters? Why do they think that blundering little mental midget is so special? And where is OUR rights to freedom of speech? I'll bet if this was a freeper with their little traitor signs held up against Bill or Hillary,NOTHING would be said! :argh: :grr:

*Worker Suspended for Anti-Bush Message


*Friday March 12, 2004 4:46 PM*

CLEVELAND (AP) - A state maintenance worker was suspended after he
displayed a sign with the word ``traitor'' on a snowplow while helping
provide security for President Bush's motorcade, the Ohio Department of
Transportation said.

Michael Gerstenslager was asked to park a snowplow on an entrance ramp
to block access to a highway that the president's motorcade used to go
from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport into downtown Cleveland on
Wednesday.

A state trooper in the president's motorcade saw the sign and reported
it to the state's transportation department, ODOT spokeswoman Lora
Hummer said.

Gerstenslager is suspended with pay while the department investigates,
Hummer said. She said she couldn't identify the potential violations or
penalties until the investigation is complete. Discipline can range from
a verbal warning to dismissal.

2. Heck yeah

People need to stand up like this, * has gotten too comfortable by the Secret Service keeping protestors away from him and his speeches. People need to get bold and inventive in letting <he who shall not be named> how disgusted we are with him.

3. "she couldn't identify the potential violations "

So you just suspend someone until you can come up for a reason to do it? Unbelievable!
