Some Minnesotans on Fargo Bush Do Not Admit list

I noticed there were several people and not all from Moorhead, on this list. (I'm on there, and I couldn't be prouder, although my wife is creeped out):

The following are names of area people included on a list of those not to be admitted into the Bison Sports Arena for today's visit by President Bush, according to two unnamed officials close to the visit.

progressive. :) Good job!!

'nough said, huh? This administration has the damnedest allies and members, such as Pinochet cabinet officials and Iran-contra figures, but keep them away from "glass artists."

I'm job hunting right now and everyone does background checks. I keep wondering if they'll stumble across some BushCo enemies list with my name on it and I'll never know why I didn't get the job.

although they botched the name. She doesn't post here. She doens't belong to mailing lists. She doesn't write letters to the editor. She's just married to me.

There was a poster on the local newspaper's Discuss This Story thread, in which a school where a teacher works was getting calls from concerned parents. My daughter got approached by a dozen classmates, one of whom brought it up in class after they were forced to watch Busy, and got an "Oh, my, really?" out of the teacher.

That's what's really creepy.

They must have used the Patriot act in order to obtain people's real names since most don't put them up on Internet discussion forums.

:scared:

I can understand your wife's concern, Janet would freak if I showed her my name on such a list.

Where could you get these lists? GW was in my town in Ohio and I was doing liberal talk, I'd love to see my name on one of those lists. When he was there (Youngstown, OH) I was joking about black Suburbans following me...

Ack!

:toast:

list.

Have you considered contacting your congressman (is it Oberstar up there?) or the ND senators and congressman to get an explanation on how this list was put together, why it was put together and who did it. I don't mean the Repubs handling the event but the list makers themselves who I presume have to be with SS, FBI or Homeland Security.

Should a dreaded roundup of the left ever occur in the US, looks like DFAers will be first.
