ACLU suing over ouster from event

RMN – The American Civil Liberties Union is taking up the case of two of the three people ejected from a presidential appearance in Denver over a bumper sticker and has named a federal bureaucrat in Denver as the mystery man who ousted them.

The ACLU filed suit today in federal court in Denver, alleging violation of the pair’s civil rights.

The words written on the bumper sticker weren’t mentioned until the 11th paragraph in the story:

The three say they were told by the Secret Service later that the man admitted ejecting them because they arrived in a car with a bumper sticker that read, “No more blood for oil.

It was quite obvious that the protestors were just there to troll and cause people to be upset. Even though this was a taxpayer event, that does not give you the right to act like an ass.

    Well I’ll be darn nothing like guilty until proven innocent … oh wait that’s only for Delay and Co. Maybe we should do a little racial profiling at these events too.

    Doesn’t give you the right to act like an ass? In who’s estimation. You people are the modern day equivalent of Joe McCarthy.
