(Mods, Please let me know if I need to cut the text down. I posted the text since I lack the link.)

Don't personally feel that stringly about the social security debate. It does however sicken me that he has used untold tax money to run around the country holding fake ass town hall meetings to publicize his highly partisan position!

Meanwhile, Secret Service "imposters" are throwing lawful, ticket holding folks out of these freaking bogus events. Here's something I got from a friend (Hi Linda! You Rock!) who has been tracking it closely:

Bush's bouncer gets around
By Diane Carman
Denver Post Columnist

Tuesday, April 26, 2005 -

The White House keeps insisting that the guy impersonating a Secret Service agent who tossed the so-called Denver Three out of President Bush's Social Security road show here on March 21 was a nobody, an overzealous Republican Party volunteer, a rogue vigilante bouncer.

If that's true, this guy really gets around.

He was in Fargo - always a hotbed of dangerous political insurgency in this country - prior to Bush's Feb. 3 appearance in a Social Security town meeting.

There he blackballed more than 40 North Dakotans, placing their names on a list to be denied tickets and excluded from the event because they could not be certified as Kool-Aid-drinking Bushies.

He was in Tucson on March 21 when he refused access to the Social Security town meeting to ticket-holder Steven Gerner, who was found guilty of wearing a University of Arizona Young Democrats T-shirt.

And he was in Portsmouth, N.H., on Feb. 16 when he and another guy dressed to look like a Secret Service agent with a serious weight problem ejected two middle-aged women from a sparsely attended Social Security town meeting there.

Carol Shea-Porter and Susan Mayer had tickets and were admitted to the event staged in an airplane hangar. They even were allowed to stay through the entire show, despite the fact that they sat near the TV cameras and removed their sweaters to reveal red T-shirts that said, "Turn Your Back on Bush."

But when they left their seats to join the crowd on the floor as the president left the hangar, two burly guys grabbed them and gave them the bum's rush.

"We were there for the whole event, and they knew darn well that we didn't disrupt anything," said Shea-Porter. "We never opened our mouths the whole time."

Shea-Porter said they went to the edge of the crowd of people as Bush exited and turned their backs to him in silence. "Somebody grabbed me," she said. "It was really frightening. He said something like: 'That's it, you're out of here. We've had enough."'

She said she asked him to identify himself. "He said, 'Never mind who I am."'

The guy was wearing a dark business suit and an earpiece. She assumed from his appearance and his demeanor that he was a Secret Service agent, but she saw no identification.

Mayer was grabbed by another Secret Service look-alike who told her, "Time to leave." She was so startled she yelled: "Take your hands off me. Don't you dare touch me."

The bouncer recoiled, she said, but continued to hustle her out of the hangar.

"They were very contemptuous," said Shea-Porter.

The bouncers took the women to a side door and shoved them outside to a spot where several police dogs and police vehicles were parked.

"It was like a drunk being thrown out of a bar," Shea-Porter said. "They tossed us where nobody would have access to us."

Mayer and Shea-Porter didn't reveal their story until recently. "We don't want our husbands to get fired over this," Shea-Porter said.

"But I got to thinking about it. My father was a lawyer and a very strong Republican, and he always used to tell me, 'If not you, who? If not now, when?"'

With their husbands' encouragement, the women decided they had to go public.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan continues to dismiss such complaints as political stunts. But the Secret Service revealed last week that it has reopened its investigation. Impersonating a Secret Service agent is a federal crime with a maximum penalty of three years in prison.

As for conspiracy to hire and train agents to unlawfully impersonate the Secret Service and intimidate law-abiding citizens, well, we can only hope the White House still considers it a crime.

Not official policy.

In honor of the situation, I bring you this new graphic! Use it in good health!

1. I propose the following for any woman who is physically ejected

Scream at the top of your lungs, "Get your hands off my ass, you pervert!"

I'd also suggest asking in a stage voice (from the diaphragm, not loud but projecting) to see identification. Always. Then scream about being groped.

Hey, it worked in the 60s.

2. May Work! Especially If There IS Some Media There!

Any other suggestions folks?

4. Oh wow

Big news. I'm glad to hear more about this. It's ridiculous how we're not allowed into his events. :mad: Especially on taxpayers money where they have tickets. What would happen if it shows this goes to Bush or someone in his administration?

[DistressedAmerican]

5. I bet it is! Either that or the secret service is totally full of shit!

Hi Agent Mike!:hi:

7. Aren't there laws about impersonating an officer? Isn't it dangerous

to create a disturbance where there isn't one and the President is nearby?

This guy will have to be recycled. Look for his face as a security guard on a great salary at Halliburton.

8. I'm Not Sure Those Laws Cover Secret Service Agents?

You may be able to impersonate them at will. Anyone know?
