Bob Boyd म्हणाले...: If a group like that gathered in DC wearing "Clean" shirts to protest Hillary's money grabbing and Obama's legal shenanigans the NYT would portray them as racist, sexist, backward, shot-gun pumping, cousin humping, religious-extremist wackos.; २४/२/१६, ९:२७ AM
RichardJohnson म्हणाले...: The link informs us that the "Clean" T-shirts were worn in protest of government corruption. Thus the ban. Solution: have thousands upon thousands wear them. You can't throw a hundreds of thousands in jail without severely clogging up the system.; २४/२/१६, ११:१८ AM

mikee म्हणाले...: Just a note: there are very few places on earth that value, by law, individual rights above the authority of government, or the good of society as a whole (as defined by the authority of government). I thank God I was born in the United States, every time I am reminded of this.; २४/२/१६, २:३५ PM
