Barndog,
There seems to be a familiar pattern of harrasment of democratic voters, and then claims that it is going both ways. The following is from the link you pointed to:
Also early election day, Milwaukee police were called to a John Kerry campaign office, 633 S. Hawley Road, at 5:40 a.m. because at least two people were blocking the parking lot exit, preventing Kerry supporters from leaving the parking lot and screaming and spitting on cars, said Sgt. Willie Murphy. The officers removed the disruptive people but no arrests were made, he said.
Why were these people not arrested by police? By not making arrests, the police are legitimizing election day antics. When they start the day at 5:40, why shouldn't they expect to be in for a long day of reprisals. If these people had been arrested at 5:40 am, there probably would have been no problem.
