‘We weren’t doing anything wrong’
Couple in anti-Bush T-shirts were arrested at president’s speech

A husband and wife who wore anti-Bush T-shirts to the president’s Fourth of July appearance aren’t going down without a fight: They will be represented by lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union as they contest the trespassing charges against them Thursday morning in Charleston Municipal Court.

Police took Nicole and Jeff Rank away in handcuffs from the event, which was billed as a presidential appearance, not a campaign rally. They were wearing T-shirts that read, “Love America, Hate Bush.”

Spectators who wore pro-Bush T-shirts and Bush-Cheney campaign buttons were allowed to stay.

“We weren’t doing anything wrong,” said Jeff Rank. The couple, who said they had tickets just like everybody else, said they simply stood around the Capitol steps with the rest of the spectators.

“We sang the national anthem,” Rank said.

1. To the tune of, "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas."

From Corrente:

"They're beginning to look a lot like Fascists
Ev'rywhere you go
Take a look in the Pentagon,
infested with neocons
With culture wars and media whores aglow

They're beginning to look a lot like Fascists
Toys for ev'ry war
But the prettiest sight to see
is the brownshirt that will be
At your own front door

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Rummy and Dick
Pols that will talk but not walk the walk
Are the hope of Rove and the SICs
While Jebbie wires up Florida for the fix

They're beginning to look a lot like Fascists
Soon the guns will start
And the thing that will make them shoot
Is the stamp of the Bush jackboot
Right within your heart "

2. Trespassing charges????

[daa]

4. On the steps of the Charleston Courthouse!!!!! eom

7. Is it actually possible for a taxpayer to trespass on

public government property?

[wtmusic]

8. Absolutely not

especially in light of the fact that charges were selectively filed based on the subject matter of their signs, while others were allowed to 'trespass'.

This is only the start, folks...

3. No, Shrub is a Hitler. Right Wingers are Nazis.

This point was being argued on the Howard Stern bulletin board yesterday by a right-winger who was "so angry she was shaking" that someone could compare the United States to 1930's Germany.

Seeing right-wingers fawning over Bush sends chills up my spine, recollecting photos and footage of Nazis making big over Hitler.

Just because Bush hasn't killed 6 million yet doesn't mean he won't. He's well on his way.

9. like margaret cho said

"i don't think bush is hitler, but he could be if he applied himself."

5. FASCISTS I SAY

and so do a few others

Early every year the seeds are growing
Unseen, unheard they lie beneath the ground
Would you know before their leaves are showing
That with weeds all your garden will abound?

If you close your eyes, stop your ears
Shut your mouth then how can you know ?
For seeds you cannot hear may not be there
Seeds you cannot see may never grow

In January you've still got the choice
You can cut the weeds before they start to bud
If you leave them to grow high they'll silence your voice
And in December you may pay with your blood

So close your eyes, stop your ears,
Shut your mouth and take it slow
Let others take the lead and you bring up the rear
And later you can say you didn't know

Every day another vulture takes flight
There's another danger born every morning
In the darkness of your blindness the beast will learn to bite
How can you fight if you can't recognise a warning?

Today you may earn a living wage
Tomorrow you may be on the dole
Though there's millions going hungry you needn't disengage
For it's them, not you, that's fallen in the hole

It's alright for you if you run with the pack
It's alright if you agree with all they do
If fascism is slowly climbing back
It's not here yet so what's it got to do with you?

The weeds are all around us and they're growing
It'll soon be too late for the knife
If you leave them on the wind that around the world is blowing
You may pay for your silence with your life

So close your eyes, stop your ears,
Shut your mouth and never dare
And if it happens here they'll never come for you
Because they'll know you really didn't care
