How NOT to get votes: the T-shirt police

Family Booted over T-Shirts

A family who wanted to see President Bush speak were treated to 'democracy under Bush' when first a pro-choice T-shirt was confiscated and then people returned to summarily throw them out. The family was not disruptive. The mom claims to have brought the T-shirt, which she uses to exercise in, in case she got cold, without thinking about the message. The daughter was in a feminist T-shirt.

So much for welcoming any diversity or undecided voters. I first saw this on feminist.org, but given the obvious bias thought I'd check out the original at the Saginaw News site above.
