From Daily Kos: CT Woman denied tickets to Bush rally because of her ride

Is This What America Wants in A President?

Dan Froomkin has collected a few (more than a couple) anecdotes about the qualifications it takes to get in to a Bush rally.

A reader e-mailed me this story by Matt Coughlin in yesterday's Bucks County Courier Times:

"A Lower Makefield woman said she received a rude awakening Wednesday when she tried to get tickets to see President Bush today in Lower Makefield.

"Simi Nischal got a ride with a co-worker to pick up tickets for herself, her husband, Narinder, and their two children. But just as the tickets were about to be placed in her hands, she was escorted from the Yardley gristmill and told to leave, she said.

"'I deny you the right to attend this rally,' Nischal said a Bush-Cheney campaign worker told her.

"Apparently, Nischal's ride was a Kerry-Edwards supporter. Her car sported a bumper sticker for the Democratic candidates."

6. ummm... she obviously was not a bush guy
or her ride would not have willingly brought her to buy tickets to a bush rally.

She should have been allowed to buy tickets, but quit acting like she was a bush guy turned away because her friend was not. It was obviously a ploy to get in and protest.

9. It's the fascist bushite cult
See the thread 'OMFG - Now the Brownshirts are saying Pledge to * at Rally'.

This is a classic information control technique, wherein access to non-cult sources of information is minimized or discouraged. Nichal was being disobedient by associating with a non-bushite.

A bushite co-worker of mine thinks that 'the terrorists' are in Falluga. Why? because bush said so, no thought required about what percent of the people in Falluga are truly terrorists or what percent of the world's terrorist are in Falluga, or even what a 'terrorist' is.
