This is interesting. You’ll remember that a few months back three opponents of privatization went to one of the president’s Bamboozlepalooza events and got tossed by someone who they were told was a Secret Service agent, even though they did nothing to disrupt the event in any way.
(It later emerged that the reason they were ejected was that they came in a car with a ‘No Blood for Oil’ bumper sticker.
To the best of my knowledge no one now disputes the fact that the three did nothing to merit ejection, even by the most draconian and Bush-true standards of president-fealty. And politicians of both parties in Colorado have condemned what happened.
The three involved as well as their supporters have been trying to find out since March just who the official was who ejected them, what the justification was and who he worked for.
At this point, the Secret Service has confirmed that the person in question did not work for them. And the White House has conceded that Mr. X was working as a volunteer for the White House. Both know the identity of the man. But both refuse to divulge the who he is or reveal any more about what happened.
Here’s a piece in today’s Rocky Mountain News on the latest. And here’s more from the Denver Post.
