Do the Democrats Believe in Democracy?

Tweet This sounds familiar. When a few of us were standing on the sidewalk outside the Garfield Obama/Cantwell event awhile ago with an "Impeach Bush" and a "No Iraq War" sign, Cantwell's campaign had us kicked off the sidewalk. Do the Democrats believe in democracy?

"The American Civil Liberties Union has voiced its support for five students at Bellevue Community College who say their rights were violated last week when they were barred from a campus rally with U.S. Sens. Maria Cantwell and Barack Obama.

"The students say Cantwell staffers did not allow them into Thursday's event because they were wearing red T-shirts with the name of Cantwell's Republican challenger, Mike McGavick.

"They were clearly there to disrupt the event," said Cantwell campaign spokeswoman Amanda Mahnke. She said the students were carrying McGavick signs and refused to take the shirts off or turn them inside out.
