It’s becoming more and more clear that as the president travels the country, trying to rally Americans behind his Social Security privatization scheme, that event staff is using lists to deny entrance to legitimate ticket holders — exercising a type of prior restraint even if they merely suspect the attendees will protest for the cameras.
And what happens every time is this: The national media flies into town with the Bush entourage, gets a pithy soundbite or video, and zips back out of town right after the event. Meanwhile, the citizens who’ve been barred from attending go to their local newspaper, and the story finally appears a day or two later, when the big media circus has moved somewhere else.
Your tax dollars at work.
