AZRedhawk found a story about a lady being barred from wearing a politically-themed shirt when she goes to vote.
http://www.armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=26513.msg516999;boardseen#newI don't know exactly what Michelle Hussein Obama was doing there, or if she broke the law. Given the First Couple's previous behavior, whatever she did was probably classless, divisive, clueless and politically backward.
But if the law makes it illegal to wear a Tea Party t-shirt or chat about politics in a polling place, then the law is an ass. If anything, the Tea Party t-shirt lady and the MHO are both being singled out for special treatment. Organized advocacy at the polls is one thing, but get a grip. People are going to talk, and people wear political t-shirts. It doesn't hurt anybody, and we don't have enough cops to enforce rules against it.
Funny how we can't check folks' ID at the polls,* but we can censor their speech. Funny how voter intimidation by Black Panthers earns you a pass from the Justice Department, but wearing a t-shirt gets you booted from the polling place. Funny how I've never heard of a law against talking about politics at the ballot box, until MHO did it.
FWIW, I tend not to advertise my politics while voting. Wouldn't want the enemy to know whose ballot to lose, or anything.
*They check ID in Missouri. Represent!
