Man Fired for Wearing Bush Sweatshirt at Obama Rally
   
<snip>
(USC) -- Don't try wearing a Bush hat or sweatshirt at an Obama rally.

Duane Hammond says it's what got him fired. Hammond is a union stagehand who was part of the crew that built the platform for the Obama event on campus.

He came to work early this morning wearing clothing that says "George H. W. Bush". Hammond's son is in the Navy, currently serving on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. George H. W. Bush.

Hammond says he was not trying to make a political statement. He says he got the sweatshirt and hat during a visit to the aircraft carrier on Family Day. The back of his sweatshirt has a large drawing of the ship.

The remarks at the DUmp and at the LA Slimes are quite amusing.

Since when is wearing something wrong oh yes stupid me the rules don't apply to them
Good girls are bad girls that never get caught.

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies.

35. I don't believe this............

They'll swallow cops jumping out of bushes and ex-Navy SEAL Green Berets writing on strangers' bags with green hi-liter and endless hordes of freepers campaigning at the grocery store checkout, but this they choke on?

Now he needs to get someone to paint a banner on the ship that says "Mission Accomplished".
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Oh,...don't worry DUmmies.
I won't wear a Bush shirt to the imposter's rally. First and foremost, I wouldn't be there. If I did go, I'd be rocking the "Socialism Doesn't Work" shirt. That work for ya DUmmies?!? :evillaugh:
