McCain Campaign Had Protestor Holding "Bush=McCain" Sign Removed From Event

***UPDATE***

Read Carol Kreck's blog on her ordeal with the McCain campaign and the Secret Service.

From The Denver Post:

It was Sen. John McCain's staff who asked security at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts to remove people holding protest signs at the venue -- not U.S. Secret Service agents, who were not involved in Carol Kreck's ouster from the galleria.

A video of the incident circulating widely on the Internet shows a DCPA security guard saying that he was told by the Secret Service to remove Kreck, who was holding a paper sign that said "McCain = Bush."

But Thursday, after two days of being vilified by bloggers, letter writers and others, the Secret Service emphatically denied involvement.

"Contrary to some recent reporting, the Secret Service had no involvement in Ms. Kreck being removed from the area," said Malcolm D. Wiley Sr., spokesman for the Secret Service. "It was not done at our request or suggestion. Any assertion to the contrary is inaccurate and inconsistent with our established policies and procedures."

I love it. What a lady!

She said in a few sentences more than a whole campaign can say after spending millions.

Hume : Agreed.

I thought she showed a great deal of poise, as well as restraint.

He is right. It is not true. McCain != Bush.
He is worse. He is more like this:

McCain = 0.5*( Cheney + Bush )

[confuseddemocrat]

Actually that makes him a little bit better than Bush and Cheney

Formula should be McCain=(Ch­eny+Bush)^­2

[ccpostman]

They are interchangeable.

Bush=McCain

Both equal a dead economy and fascist state!

This is sad! McBush couldn't stomach a woman who had a sign that said McCain=Bush??? Boy, is he touchy!!! Hey, John, what about the First Amendment? It is attached to the Constitution! Remember the Constitution, John???

She was obviously a terrorist and needed to go.

Now we know what kind of signs to make for McCane events. Thanks.
McCane staff -.do you have any other suggestions?

[Phaedrus21]

This makes more sense. When I originally saw the tape I couldn't figure out why the Secret Service would be concerned about her.

Looks loke we are going to go over 2004 again. When are we going to get really pissed about this?

[PdotBdotB]
