It's not your grandparents' America

Terri Shiavo's husband tries to attend the debate between Marilyn Musgrave (R-CO) and challenger Angie Paccione, and here's what happened:

Just minutes after taking my seat, I noticed a flurry of activity around my seat including about four uniformed police officers who were - I would learn later - called in by Musgrave staffers and asked to remove me from the building.

At this point, I had made no speeches, I had no signs, had made no attempt to disrupt or cause any commotion. I only came into the auditorium, spoke to a dozen or so reporters and took a seat.

To their credit, the police refused the Musgrave campaign's appeal to have me removed.

It gets even worse. Read the whole thing here.

I mean, this wasn't even a campaign rally. It was a debate between two opposing candidates. So, what makes Ms. Musgrave think she has the right to have an opponent thrown out?

Call in the storm troopers, this isn't my America.
