BUSHWORLD: AN AMERICA WHERE CIVIL LIBERTIES ARE "OBSCENE"

Three schoolteachers were threatened with arrest and ejected from a Bush rally in Oregon for wearing T-shirts with the slogan, "Protect Our Civil Liberties."

"We chose this phrase specifically because we didn't think it would be offensive or degrading or obscene," said Tania Tong, 34, a special education teacher.

The women got past the first and second checkpoints and were allowed into the Jackson County fairgrounds, but were asked to leave and then escorted out of the event by campaign officials who allegedly told them their T-shirts were "obscene."

I never thought I'd see the day when protecting our civil liberties was considered obscene in the United States of America.
