"What happened when people wore a Bush t-shirt to a Kerry rally, and a Kerry t-shirt to a Bush rally?"

At one Kerry-Edwards event, the BC04-clad producers were surrounded by sign waving Kerry supporters, in attempt to make the purported Bush supporters invisible to the press

At another event, a Kerry campaign worker approached the producers and told them "We hold the right to remove you, but other than that, enjoy and hopefully at the end of the event you'll want to wear a Kerry T-shirt."

You could say it didn't go quite so well in Bush-Cheney land. When the producers tried to get into a BC04 event, they simply weren't allowed in at all.


A campaign volunteer told them: "I'm sorry, but they're Kerry shirts ... We were told not to let people with Kerry shirts into the rally."

And then this happened ...

And as they approached the gates of the stadium, Lance "Chip" Borman, a Bush campaign worker and attorney who worked for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, directed them toward the Brevard County sheriff's deputies waiting at the exit.

"Hey folks, it's a private event," he said. "Can you find your way to the nearest exit? Maybe some law enforcement can help?"


Maybe some law enforcement can help. That's adorable.

Another guy working at MSN tried a similar stunt. Wearing Bush paraphernalia in what was deemed "Kerry Country" and doing the opposite in "Bush Country." Though I have yet to find the link

It's interesting and a little sad how seriously people take this whole mess, and how easily it is to get them riled up.
