The Bush campaign has a habit of squelching dissent at the first sign of a sign, button or tshirt that says anything anti-Bush. During the last election, a friend of mine was pulled out of the crowd by police at a Bush rally in the same manner for wearing Nader buttons and carrying Nader stickers. She hadn't done any demonstrating or pamphleteering....she was arrested for having a different political affiliation at a Bush rally. The charges (I can't remember what they charged her with, someithng like disorderly conduct) were later dropped by the police. Obviously, they just wanted to get her out of the way. I suspect the same for the two men referenced in this article.
