Far Left loons are outraged that an innocent 61 year-old "librarian" was escorted out of a McCain meeting yesterday when she showed up with a McCain=Bush sign.
Progress Now reported that 61 year-old librarian Carol Kreck was removed from a McCain event yesterday after she showed up with a McCain=Bush sign:
On orders from Senator John McCain's security detail, Denver police escorted a 61-year-old woman away who was waiting in line to attend a so-called town hall meeting with McCain that was billed as open to the public.What Progress Now Action did not tell you is that Carol Kreck, the librarian(?) and former reporter, is a member of the Progress Now network.
Carol Kreck, who works as a librarian in Denver, held a homemade sign reading "McCain = Bush." On orders from McCain's security detail, police cited her for trespassing and escorted her to the sidewalk. She was told if she returned she would be arrested.
"And all I did was carry a sign that said McCain = Bush," Kreck said. "And for everyone who voted for Bush, I don't see why it's offensive to say McCain = Bush."
Here's her webpage:
And... Progress Now is a Far Left Colorado organization that is linked to MoveOn.org and funded by George Soros.
Don't bother with the details, Democrats. Keep it classy.
Why is this not surprising?
Why should the media do their jobs when they can just collect a paycheck and have the blogs do the work for them?
ReplyDeleteWhy do I get the impression that this librarian has burned quite a few books not to her liking over the last couple of years?
ReplyDeletesyn
This librarian's actions prove that 'classy' isn't in the prog's dictionary. Neither is ethical or tolerant or compassionate or diverse or (yawn)a whole bunch of other things.
ReplyDeleteWish I'd have been there with my Obama = Sharpton or Obama = Carter signs to show her.
ReplyDelete"Carol Kreck has 2 friends!"
ReplyDelete1 is a dead cat and the other is imaginary.
Seems the Librarian has no constitutional rights, since you disagree with her politics or associates.
ReplyDeleteWhat is so vile about "McCain=Bush"? Do you dislike one or both?
Guess some cannot see the forest for the trees. This lady was no threat to anyone except the thought police.
I find the Soros/MoveOn crowd to be deplorable, and I don't care for hippies, like this "plant".
ReplyDeleteNonetheless, I don't like the notion that a protestor in this country is cited for trespass on public property for carrying a sign.
Unless there are unreported facts, it appears that she is exercising her right to peaceable assembly under the First Amendment.
And I don't believe in governmentally-designated "Free Speech Zones".
If we were doing the same thing at an Obama rally as this person is doing at the McCain function, we would be on O'Reilly decrying the violation of our First Amendment rights.
I voted for this President twice, for his dad 4 times and even for Bob Dole, but I am not voting for McCain, because I find the substance of this gal's sign to be largeley accurate.

ReplyDeleteWhy isn't that libtard slag laying on the floor frothing at the mouth from a half dozen doses of the taser?
ReplyDeleteBTW the Progress Now site is a great place to vent against libtards...
Molonlabe28, I'm not voting for al-'Bama even though I voted for Carter and Dukakis and Clinton and Humphreys and Kerry and pelosi and Murtha and everybody else until I found out that they weren't conservative, so I don't blame you for not voting for Bush(5).
ReplyDeleteYou really should stay with the party that you came with.
BTW molonlabe28, those free speech zones that you mentioned, were those the ones at the fenced in area in Boston? You know, at the prog convention during sKerry's last run?
ReplyDeleteMolonlabe28
ReplyDeleteNow how does McCain even remotely equal Bush?
More importantly, how in the hell do people take this stupid stuff seriously.

Clueless anonatard 10:13 AM,
ReplyDeleteYou are the one who can not 'see the forest from the trees", hun.
I guess that you think it is perfectly fine to use PAID protesters to create an "illusion". Just like those "protests" at the 2004 Republican convention which were bought and paid for by the "wife" of the Democratic party nominee Teresa Heinz-Kerry.
It is ok, though. That librarian and the rest of you and your ilk did learn a few things from history. You and the Democratic party are using political tactics that (and yes, I am going to say it) that the Nazi party used in the 1930's. They are even going to "Recreate '36 at the Democratic national convention with their own version of a Nuremberg party rally on the last night. It is not surprising that they are using them, Soros is a Judenrat and a war criminal who worked for the Nazis during WWII.
Unfortunately for you the majority of us are not fooled by those tactics. You see, we went to school before the schools became little more then anti American Marxist indoctrination centers.
Now...
If you want to see the true "brown shirts" take a look in the mirror.
PS-Soros and his pals will have no qualms with shoving you and the rest of your ilk into the gas chamber when you are no longer useful to him.
Forget the librarian - more info. on the subject to her left rear. In the heels and skirt. Mmm-hmm.
ReplyDeleteEven though it was on public property, the group that reserves the public property usually has the right to control who is on the property during the reserved times. Most campaign speeches are given on public property but Joe Schmoe can't just wander on stage (I know she wasn't on stage but it's the same concept.)
ReplyDeleteAs far as the sign being "home made", that may be the case here but moonbats are nototious for handing out faux-homemade signs at their events.
Mike -
ReplyDeleteI am certainly not voting for Obama or for any Democrat.
I wish that the party I came with had stayed with me.
I am a Goldwater/Reagan conservative, not a Neocon/Rockefeller/country club Republican.
McCain has spent the last 7 years opposing our party. Why should we think he would rule differently from 1600 Pennslyvania Avenue?
As I said in my post, I have no love for a bunch of smelly hippies doing the bidding for Soros and the Democratic power brokers.
In fact, I am looking forward to the Recreate 68 action in Denver, and I am old enough to remember Chicago in 68.
I just don't think that someone should be threatened with jail for carrying a political sign. Not in America, not under the First Amendment.
As for Bush = McCain, I think that McCain = Dole would be more accurate.
Nonetheless, the following is a cursory analysis of whether Bush = McCain, starting with the Maverick's signature bills:
1. McCain - Feingold (limiting political free speech) - signed into law by Bush. Bush = McCain.
2. Kennedy - McCain (the illegal alien amnesty bill that had most of us so nervous and upset this time last year) - Bush supported it, but it mercifully died in the House. Without a doubt, Bush = McCain.
3. McCain - Leiberman (the bill that McCain co-authored which would require background checks on private party gun sales ) - Bush supported renewing the AWB, so I assume that this would not have offended his beliefs as to the Second Amendment. Bush = McCain.
4.Making Bush's 2001 Tax Cuts permanent - This is a tough one, because McCain voted against the President's outstanding tax legislation in 2001, but he now sees the wisdom of making them permanent. Thus, I guess that you can say that Bush = McCain on this one;
4. The War - This is pretty easy, Bush = McCain (and I support both of them on this one, along with the 2001 tax cuts, of course);
5. The Supreme Court - Bush appointed Roberts and Alito (whom McCain voted for, but then felt the need to impugn in a subsequent remark). But Bush preceded his nomination of Alito with Harriet Meyers, a moderate Republican, until she was universally hooted down. But, around this same point in time, McCain, ever the Maverick, formed the Gang of 14 to prevent Senate Majority Leader Frist from exercisng the "nuclear option", which would have prohibited judicial filibusters with less than a cloture (60) vote. All in all, I think that Bush = McCain is pretty accurate on SCOTUS and the Federal judiciary.
6. The Green phenomenon/scam - The President appears to still like buring gasoline and gunpowder, while McCain appears to buy into some of this fairy tail, so Bush is probably a little better than McCain on this issue.
7. Energy - The President has always endorsed drilling in ANWAR and pursuing other energy sources. What is McCain's position on ANWAR and offshore drilling? Bush is probably a little better than his long-time nemesis on this one.
I respect McCain for his valor during Vietnam and for his assertion of a strong defense of our country abroad.
But that is about it.
And I view the Constitution quite differently than he does.
We had McCain speak at the Federalist Society, where interpreting the Constitution in accordance with the original intent of the drafters is a focal point, a couple of years ago, and he was given a polite, but fairly tepid, response.
Obama has some serious vulnerabilities (e.g. an energy policy consisting of windmills, etc. instead of drilling in ANWAR and offshore; being from the same political machine in Chicago which has unConstitutionally banned most guns for many years; a proponent of amnesty for illegal aliens).
A better candidate than McCain could easily take advantange of those vulnerabilities, but he just keeps plodding along giving boring speeches prepared by political handlers.

ReplyDeleteRemember the Heller Decision?
It's OK to make
"Reasonable Restrictions"
on any Constitutional "Right".
Why is librarian in quotation marks? Is she not really a librarian because she belongs to a left-wing group?
ReplyDeleteChange
ReplyDeleteMove on
Progress Now
My the left isn't very stabile are they with all this movement.
SHHHH they'll not dare say from what to what, but with the angel choirs following Obama off the liberal cliff, they don't have to do they?
...poor nahanni. Threatened by the Constitution. Threatened by the BOR. Threatened by freedom. Threatened by a 61 year old lady . Threatened by a simple sign.
ReplyDeleteWhy does the sign "McCain=Bush" bother you so much? Is there no rational thought in your mind? You realize you attack all that make America different from most, if not all the world. The foundation of your world is shaken by a little 90 pound lady with a small homemade sign. Are you so fragile and hostile, you can see nonthing but blind hate in what you do not support?
It is not Sorros we have fear. ...guess those trees are blocking your view.
Molonlabe28, then you have my apologies for the snark. I'm still voting for McCain even though I dislike like the guy as much as you dislike him. And for the same reasons.
ReplyDeleteFree speech will not be abridged by the gov't. Both non-governmental parties practice ritual cleansing of the audience. The 'other' must hie him hence cries the warden!
Whatever one thinks of this lady's politics or the content of her handmade sign (the underwhelming "McCain = Bush"), having police escort her out of a town hall meeting only resulted in her getting a lot more attention. Can anyone really argue that this was a smart move for the campaign? Of course the press was going to play it up. After the Obama meltdown for moving two women in headscarves out of camera range at a campaign event, there is no excuse for a campaign to make this kind of mistake. Blaming the press doesn't help McCain. Only fixing his campaign can do that.
ReplyDelete"Why is librarian in quotation marks? Is she not really a librarian because she belongs to a left-wing group?"...
ReplyDeleteWell theklute personally I find that its just common sense to question anything and everything a leftie whackazoid has to say...
Thanks, Mike.
ReplyDeleteI am tired of plants who lob scripted, slow-pitch softballs to the candidates.
And I respect people who think similarly to me, but who decide to vote for McCain.
Having at least 2 SCOTUS likely vacancies makes the whole thing a really tough call.
I think that the Republican Party will rise again, with the conservatives (e.g. Tom Coburn) leading the charge and setting the agenda.
well she certainly struck a nerve and made a good point so the rethugs want to distance themselves from the shrub as much as possible and that's why they were afraid of the 61 year old librarian who threw it right in their face, how pathethic!
ReplyDeleteThe delicious irony is that the Mc Cain campaign proved, in front of cameras, that her sign is telling the truth.
ReplyDelete"The delicious irony is that the Mc Cain campaign proved, in front of cameras, that her sign is telling the truth"...
ReplyDeleteLeave to a libtard to be a witness to reality and they still can't figure out what happened...
You realize that if the lady were truly a MEMBER of a Soros sponsored group, her sign would be far more professionally designed
ReplyDeleteI have 2 queries;
1) Since when do the local cops work for the SS?
2) Isn't the best test of the validity of one's convictions how well those convictions weather criticism?
please respond as you wish, but those on the fascist right may be better able to understand words of two syllables or less.
