Is he a terrorist or is this what we have been warning about the Patriot Act and the freedom strictions in the US today?

They have passed a new law stating that it is an offence to speak out against Bush or his policies.

Bush Executive Order: Criminalizing the Antiwar Movement
But it does sound as if this chap was setting himself up by ignoring various warnings about dumb bylaws he was breaking.
However I have spoken to Americans and heard some pretty strange stuff. One woman was afraid to go to a web site I recommended in case it was a "bad" site and she might lose her child. She also had an anti Bush sticker on her car and was pulled over, a young mom and baby, weekly for the 2 months it was on. None of the excuses were ever valid. Finally she removed the sticker and the stops ... stopped.
Another friend of mine was afraid to help a woman with a child stranded by the police on the side of the road when they confiscated her vehicle and her man, the driver. My friend said he could be arrested for involvement in a crime.
Something is very wrong, folks. They are in panic mode to get this NWO thing set into place so they are upping the ante. Just be cautious folks.

Man, this is funny!
Here's the quick answer, he didn't have the proper permits.
Here's the truth: our nation is no longer the land of free speech it once was. Soon there will be data-mining of all types--believe me "Big Brother" is watching.
All the dissidents and anti-establishmentarians will be neutralized and/or "Gitmoized."
As a matter of fact- you betta check yourself.
You may be viewed as a sympathizer.

Cause he didn't have a permit to sell there and people complained about him being to agressive when trying to sell the buttons. It's all right there in the article. If he had gotten the permit, they wouldn't have had legal grounds to arrest him. He didn't follow the rules, ignored the warnings officials gave him, and came back and tried to sell items without a permit.
Just read the article, it's all right there.
BECAUSE HE STILL NEEDED A PERMIT TO SELL! If he didn't try to sell his buttons, he could have stayed. WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT? (caps on is fun :-D)

it is the ham handed way that republicans are trying to protect the liar-in-chief. It is not the only incident either. A member of a Canadian Rock band, Deryck Whibley ( Sum 41) wrote a song " March of the Dogs" which is unflattering to George Bush. A reporter who did not like the song went to the house minority leader who tried to have him deported. "Get those terrorist Canadian songwriters the hell out of our country." There's a bumper sticker for you.

he'll do his time unlike scooter. Scooter was supressing free speech which is a necon gold medal award winning activity. If only scooter had gotten a fine comparable in severity you might just be able to argue its fair.

I do not agree with the reasons given but if the town controls the market itself they might have a say so about what's sold.
Personally I think he got the unwanted attention of a Bush support and they went off the deep end.

People are stupid! We should have stopped him when he rigged the votes in Florida and we allowed the courts to select him.

."Town officials had previously warned McConnell about peddling his political wares at the market (he is accused of being "aggressive" in his pitch), and had cited him for selling merchandise without a proper permit.
McConnell was also warned that he would be arrested if he returned to the market, even though it is public property."
gee it looks like if you read the article you would have known..
please provide links to whatever you submit..it is intellectually lazy to use a question and distort it to say what you want to hear...

He was arrested after several warnings that he could not sell at that location without a permit.
