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." |

Glass houses.
In Detroit, Michigan, a town widely recognized as an Arab-American diasporic hub, the Obama camp made two Muslim women in hijab exit the crowd scene behind Obama’s podium. Obama staff explained that they asked the women to leave the stage because in “this political climate,” it would not be prudent for Obama to be seen on camera with Muslim women in hijab behind him. |

Yes, the volunteers acted in very poor taste and Obama personally called the two women to apologize. Has McCain called this woman to apologize and pay her ticket? |

Obama should have apologized. Those people were there to support him. |

You are correct. And he did apologize. He did the right thing in response. Will McCain? |

She doesn't deserve an apology. She wasn't there to support him. She was there to disrupt.
Signage of any kind was not permitted at the venue:
"A representative of Senator John McCain's staff respectfully asked that the venue for its July 7 Town Hall Meeting, The Denver Center for the Performing Arts, not allow persons to display signage within the Arts Complex," DCPA officials said in a statement..."
"...A previous federal appeals court decision determined that the galleria area where Kreck was standing is not necessarily a public spot and that protests can be curtailed there.
Kreck, a 60-year-old librarian and former Denver Post reporter, was cited for trespassing by Denver police at the Monday event." |

| This is a total non-story. It's as big a deal as the way the Liberal Media went into hysterics over Phil Gramm's comments, which McCain swiftly disputed. |

How EXACTLY did McSame "dispute" Gramm's comments, stupid? By claiming that the man he gushes over everyday "doesn't speak for him", even though that very day he "spoke for him" at a meeting at the WSJ?
And much like you and your hero Bush, McSame is obviously threatened by a 61 year old librarian with a piece of poster board..... |

McCain held a PUBLIC "town hall" puppet show. If he doesn't want the PUBLIC to show up, maybe he should use Bush's idea and make people sign a loyalty oath before they are allowed to hear the moron speak? |

Oh no no no no, my friend.
Phil Gramm's comments are a BIG story! Gramm was quite aware of what he was saying, and later even said he did not regret anything that he said.
And this is McCain's guy! His top economic advisor!
You'll be hearing about this one for the rest of the campaign. |
