White House tactics riding in Joe's Tomorrow Tour

My DD has a hilarious recounting of a recent Lieberman "rally" in New Haven. At least it would be funny if it wasn't for the disturbing trend it reveals about the new proclivity for suppressing political dissent. When the local police refuse a private citizen the right to drive on a public road because they don't approve of the contents of a vehicle, in this case a largish effigy of Bush kissing Lieberman, and futher attempt to have the vehicle removed from the scene even when it's parked on private property, that's a cause for concern. And when a politician's support team attempts to prevent opposing views from being heard or seen by its candidate and presuably the press, that's a clear sign that our democracy is in trouble.

If this is Joe Lieberman's vision of tomorrow, then give me back yesterday, cause the future isn't looking so bright.
