still more of bush's "democracy" in action

‘Threatening’ T-shirt barred from TCC

A University of Arizona student says he was told he was a potential threat and was barred from President Bush's forum yesterday at the TCC because of the T-shirt he was wearing.

The UA Young Democrats T-shirt that Gerner wore is white and has the party's logo on the back. Gerner said he did not plan to cause trouble.
---
A staff member asked to see his shirt before crumpling up Gerner's ticket and walking away. He returned to say the Young Democrat's name had been added to the list of those not allowed into the convention hall, Gerner said.
Gerner said he offered to take the T-shirt off and wear only the long-sleeved blue shirt he had on underneath, but event staff still would not admit him.

Talk about cowardly! A t-shirt is "threatening"! F'king absurd!
