First Bush violence against opponents?
Since they had tickets, you'd think that it would be OK with a free marketer if they stayed. Maybe Bush should take lessons from his poodle, Tony Blair, on heckling, since Blair has to face it every day. Then again, the UK is still a democracy.
Forced out how, one wonders? Are Bush's paramilitaries (back here) on the job already?
There were a few voices both inside and outside the convention center to counter the support Bush received. A half-dozen anti-Bush college students were escorted from the hall before the president arrived despite holding tickets for the event and three more people were forced out after chanting "No more Bush" as the president made his way across the stage. About 80 protesters demonstrated outside, many gripping red balloons pointing out the expanding national debt under Bush's watch.
