The Patriot Act comes to Boston

(Via David Weinbergers's JOHO blog) JOHO - October 15, 2003:
John Ashcroft had the chutzpah to stage the Boston leg of his pro-PATRIOT Act road show in Faneuil Hall, where Sam Adams proclaimed the liberties he was ready to die for. Apparently, this is the first time Faneuil Hall has been closed to the public for a political event since it was built in 1742.

Here are some of the signs I enjoyed:

The Bill of Rights is the real Patriot Act

Take your empire and shove it

Boston knows patriotism. This is no patriot act.

Hey Mr. Ashcroft, Little Brother is watching you!

Time for another Tea Party

Ashcroft is more evil than Steinbrenner "
