This guy needs to get seriously bent:
Bush photo at farmers' market causes rowThere is an ancient Chinese saying that goes: BOO-HOO.LANCASTER - A Democratic city councilman has demanded that a baker remove photos of President Bush from his stand in Lancaster's venerable farmers' market, saying the city needs a "healing period" following the bitterly contested presidential election.
City Council member Nelson Polite approached David Stoltzfus last month and asked him to remove the pictures. When Stoltzfus refused, Polite vowed to pursue a city ordinance that would ban all political items from public places in the city.
Polite said the photo offended city Democrats.
"I just feel that since it was a close election and the city's so divided, that we should have a healing period," Polite told the New Era of Lancaster.
After the New Era published a story about the flap earlier this month, conservative pundits from around the nation skewered Polite as being clueless about free speech.
Republican Mayor Charlie Smithgall said would-be tourists have told him they will skip Lancaster -- an old city in the heart of Amish country -- because of Polite's statements.

Buncha sore losers, they are.

The Bush picture at the market in this story was ordered taken down by a city councilman.
Do you see any difference? Huh?
Private business owner vs. public official?
Get it?

This councilman needs to take a civics course. Or maybe just pull his head out of his ass.
He wants to pursue a ban on political items in public areas of a city. Is he out of his mind?
If the picture offends you, don't go to the market. Tell your friends to not go to the guy's shop. Write a letter to the editor. Get counseling. Whatever. But don't try and ban public political expression because it differs from your own.
My guess is that if Kerry had won and it was his picture on the baker's stall, this would not be an issue....
