Ha Ha, Medea

The Dems are not content confining protesters to free speech cages (FSC's). No, no, no! They want to show that they are truly not "soft on free speech" a label that Republicans have been pinning on the Dems since the ACLU was founded. To prove they have the cajones to keep (in this case) anti-war rhetoric down, they had former Green Party Senatorial Candidate Medea Benjamin thrown out of the convention in handcuffs for unfurling a very generic U.S. out of Iraq sign.

The punch line, of course, is that Medea is one of the "prominent activists" who publically signed onto a "Don't Run Ralph" open letter. "We must support the Democrats in these perilous times," she whined. Then they had her arrested.

Ha ha ha Medea. Thanks for proving my point.
