~Woman Banned From BORDER'S For Bush Joke~

http://www.local6.com/news/2357475/detail.html

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. -- Singer-songwriter Julia Rose doesn't like President George W. Bush's legs.

She's been banned from a Borders Books and Music store in Virginia for commenting on the president's physique. Rose was performing at the Fredericksburg Borders, when she told the crowd the president has, "chicken legs."

...

She said he needs to pump some iron. The line drew a laugh, but not from Borders' management. She's been banned from that store, but not others in the chain.

Rose says she's mystified by the reaction. She tells the Free Lance-Star newspaper she was just poking fun at the president's frame and wasn't making a political comment.

So much for free speech...

Well I go to school in Fredericksburg and I can't say I'm all that surprised. The citizens of FBG are mostly stubborn, dumb, and very conservative - the perfect recipe for these types of incidents. I actually got kicked out of that same store once, I was with some friends and one of them decided it would be a good idea to use an air horn he had just purchased next door.

When I go back in late August, I'll have to go back and try to get banned. It should be a blast.

Yes they are fairly stubborn here. If you wanna see some of the worst of it check out the forum on fredericksburg.com. Here it seems if anyone isn't a republican you get bashed for your ideas.

I haven't read the whole thing but here are locals dicussing it:
