I think what is worse is that during the last Republican convention a brave woman tried to hold up a sign while Bush was speaking condemning the war and was immediately whisked away as a security threat before the camera could pan to what was on the sign.

McCain has so much respect for the current president, that he considers being compared to him a terrorist-level insult. As digby asked, what if that sign said "McCain = Reagan"?
