Can We Call It Fascism Yet?

Josh Marshall looks at how people sporting the wrong T-shirts or bumper stickers are being thrown out of Bush's Social Security roadshow events and says such public forums are no place for Bush's thought police:
During the presidential campaign, this sort of behavior may have been just embarrassing — after all those were private, campaign-funded events.

But these events are taxpayer-funded public forums. So it really amounts to a violation of people’s constitutional rights....

This is White House policy - to ban American citizens from taxpayer-funded public forums on the basis of their political beliefs. They're doing it because they think they can get away with it.
And, as Marshall says, so far they can, and they have, and they will keep doing it... until and unless YOU stop them.
