McCain = Bush? Not in Denver!

A 61 year old woman was issued a ticket and escorted off the premises earlier this week in Denver while waiting in line to attend a John McCain townhall meeting. Her crime? Carrying a sign that said "McCain = Bush"

I'll admit it: when I first heard about this story I thought I was going to be watching someone making the "What about the first amendment?" argument, and I was dead wrong. The woman's argument surprised me - why would any Republican who voted for George Bush be ashamed of seeing a sign equating a two term president with their presumed nominee?
