Partisanship Suits You

[Here at the Stump, it will never be said we were afraid to ask more questions than we answered; or weave an excessively long setup for a debatably unfunny punch line.]

The American Civil Liberties Union has filed suit against volunteers at one of the president’s campaign stops who forced two attendees to leave the event.

Leslie Weise, 40, and Alex Young, 26, were escorted from the March 21 event after they arrived in a car with a bumper sticker reading “No more blood for oil,” and wearing T-shirts saying “Stop the lies” under other clothes, the federal lawsuit said.

When did these two reveal what was under their clothes? Were the volunteers utilizing x-ray glasses? Were the threatening t-shirts discovered through some sort of routine strip-search required to enter a presidential campaign event? Are the t-shirts at all relevant to the lawsuit?

Why did the two leave? Certainly it was within their rights as citizens to attend a presidential public appearance, no? Why’d they let some campaign volunteer punk them out like that?

Weise and Young thought Casper was a Secret Service agent because he wore a radio earpiece and a dark suit. [Emphasis added.]

Oh.

You know who’s the real victim in this case?
The dark suit forced to take part in the overly clichéd g-man shtick.

The suit seeks unspecified damages.

You go, suit.
