That's hilarious! What will those wacky Republicans do next?
Uh-oh. Perhaps I've said too much.
Well, they had a point. That slogan *would* be offensive at a Bush rally.
After all, they've spent every day since 9/11 trying to do the exact opposite.
Protecting liberties is offensive ... maybe they'll use that as the new '04 campaign bumper sticker.
maybe if you told the whole story, it was a ticket only affair,and the teachers did not have tickets, make sure you get your fact straight qui
they claimed they appled for the tickets and were given but did not have the tickets when they arrived at the fairgrounds
I'm for Kerry, but hate when people distort the facts on either side.
Of course they had tickets,they got in.
they were turned away at the gate
You *did* watch the local news coverage,did you not?
keep spinning
I saw the news broadcast on line just now, and read the report, they were never in the fair ground itself.
was this KOBI's news?
Im only further asking because Id like to know if I misunderstood my local news...calm thyself...
Uh Lisa ,could you cut & paste the article with what news affiliate you got it from? Id like to read it & have it as reference...
pleeeeese??
WHAT!?
{crickets}
If this were an osiloated incident, I could see the possibility of miscommunications, etc.
But this isn't the only incident. There have been several instances of peopel being evicted from such events ... fo rthe crime of wearing a t-shirt with some slogan.
Just goes to show you... Republicans "eat their own"!

Ive e mailed for the local news transcripts{good luck}& found only 2 quasi local news articles & both make no mention that the ladies didnt have their tickets upon entry.
Lisa Id really like to see the article,if you would...
Here are the two I have & the sources..
Three Medford school teachers were threatened with arrest and escorted from the event after they showed up wearing T-shirts with the slogan “Protect our civil liberties.” All three said they applied for and received valid tickets from Republican headquarters in Medford.
The women said they did not intend to protest.
“I wanted to see if I would be able to make a statement that I feel is important, but not offensive, in a rally for my president,” said Janet Voorhies, 48.

The women said they did not intend to protest. "I wanted to see if I would be able to make a statement that I feel is important, but not offensive, in a rally for my president,'' said Janet Voorhies, 48, a teacher in training.
"We chose this phrase specifically because we didn't think it would be offensive or degrading or obscene,'' said Tania Tong, 34, a special education teacher.Corvallis Gazzette
