Bush Photo Offends Lancaster Democrats

By Matt Margolis | December 13, 2004

Well, they can just cry me a river

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.

Awww, poor baby. What’s next, are Democrats going to protest history books in public schools that show Bush’s picture in the back of the book amongst all the other Presidents?

    I feel the country needs a healing period to recover from the wounds of the Civil War that continue to tear this nation apart. I will be introducing legislation to ban the $5 and $50 bills bearing the likenesses of the controversial figures of the day, as well as that icon of hate-mongering Republicans, the penny).

    Funny, for all the libs laments about religous censorship, all I ever hear about is liberal censorship. I wish they would have censored Chevy Chase.
