there is no “we” cc, you arent american
#1 it’s the law. If the money comes from government funds you can’t “legally” keep people out.
ok, if thats true, than when its government funds, it shouldnt happen. did these happen at rallys paid for by govt funds or party funds?
#2 Arn’t you the guy who wants debate?
random idiots shouting obscenities and disrupting a rally doesnt constitute a debate. :wink: (i know thats not what happened in the examples). simply wearing a button may be a bit extreme, but think about it. you are promoting an image. its all marketing. why allow the opponent to get any free publicity at your rally? its common sense.
Who does it help to silience the opposition?
it helps you. and its not silencing the opposition, kerry is the opposition, not his supporters. unless he is hiring them to go into a bush rally wearing the button, hes just some random guy that gives the enemy free publicity. take him out.
Do we get a better government?
whether or not you can wear opposition propaganda to a bush rally has no impact on the quality of government.
