Albuquerque Woman Displaying Anti-War Poster Says She Was Taken From Airport
The Associated Press
DALLAS ââ¬â An Albuquerque woman says she was ejected from a Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport terminal after showing military recruits an anti-war campaign poster.
Carole Ward, 57, showed the recruits an 8 1/2- by 11-inch poster of a composite illustration of President Bush made up of the faces of soldiers who have died in Iraq. It bore the title "Faces of Death."
Some people found the poster offensive and the woman became belligerent with an American Airlines gate agent, said Tim Wagner, a spokesman for the airline.
Ward made some passengers feel uncomfortable while waiting to board her airplane during a thunderstorm Tuesday night and presented a security threat, he said.
"She's not only going around talking to these recruits, saying they shouldn't join the Army, they shouldn't fight in the war, she's also forcing the poster on them," Wagner said.
Ward, who was returning home from a Libertarian convention in Atlanta, said she started a conversation with a few of several dozen recruits in the airport.
She passed around the poster that had messages to elect Libertarian Aaron Russo president and to stop a possible military draft.
Wagner said some people thought the poster had pictures of soldiers' bodies. He said the material could be considered offensive.
Although Wagner said the gate agent asked airport police to remove the woman from the secure side of the terminal, airport spokesman Ken Capps said the officers only monitored the situation and Ward left on her own.
She said she was forced to leave the airport without her bag or shoes, which she left on the airplane, and spend the night in a hotel.

Carol Ward rules. This incident made me realize she's the Right's answer to Emma Goldman, who made quite a splash in WWI for doing this sort of anti-war street theater.

Carol on the Web meets Jewish Tyranny in Dallas airport
Here.
Okay guys.. I need some support.. letters to the Dallas Morning News are running half and half...
Here's what happened.
I came back from the Libertarian convention in Atlanta through Dallas... We boarded the plane for the last leg and a storm came in quickly... we sat at the gate for an hour.. then we got off the plane...[important because this proves I did not come to the airport with an 'agenda' AND it is why I had no shoes when I was dumped on the street in the storm]
Anyway.. I had a legal size color photo of George Bush's head that upon closer examination - was a composite of all the photos of all our war dead.. very very clever and effective.. and the header said...FACES OF DEATH... it was Dubya's face made from 900 or so teeny pictures of each of the dead in uniform]
When we got off the plane, many people were now backed up into the terminal,,, sitting all over the floor. I noticed a huge group of what looked to be college kids.
They were talking about their 'enlistment'... and I struck up a conversation with them... they quickly passed the poster around - they were more interested in the technology that made such a poster than the message... but because everyone kept passing it around - it got the attention of the 'recruiter'.... he was furious.. took the sheet of paper - crumpled it up... and tossed it.
I took out another one... and he grabbed it and went up to the American Airlines Gate and complained... then the AA employee [ a rumpled Danny Hastert who looked as if he hadn't finished high school] was visibly annoyed - and told me I could no longer speak to any of the other passengers---
I told him the first amendment was there to protect the speech we didn't want to hear... and that freedom of association was still in force under the constitution...
He called the police. The police came and told me I needed a license to distribute political literature... I said I wasn't distributing anything - I was between planes and was engaged in private conversation which was NONE of their business.
Well... at that point the police told me they would escort me to the street and I was not to return to the airport...
But what about my shoes? My bag? my ride to New Mexico?
They didn't care... I was to exit the airport.
At no time did I raise my voice.. utter a swear word - or become a nuisance...
But as the cops were hauling me away.. i held up another poster and told the hundreds [remember, the planes were all g4ounded so this happened in front of a huge crowd of people] I held up the poster and said "I am being evicted from this airport for my anti war beliefs"... THIS poster is enough to get you ejected from an airplane!!"..
At this point the police told me to "Put THAT away!".. If I didn't they would book me and I would spend the night in jail...
WELL -- I walked out into the rain in my socks... I had no clothes... no shoes... no where to go. I caught a Hampton Inn shuttle out front and started calling newspapers, radio stations and TV...
The dallas Morning news interviewed me the next morning... and ran the story FRONT PAGE METRO section on Wednesday June 2....
I am meeting an ABC crew in about an hour here in NEw MExico...
The bastards at AMerican LIED to the reporter... said they paid for my room [bullshit].... AND that I left 'voluntarily'... more bullshit!!
SO now the Libertarian party calls me and says they can help me find a civil rights attorney... the Dallas morning news is furious because American also said I was passing around offensive photos of blood and gore... AND that I was belligerent and a 'flight risk"..
those ****ers... those MISERABLE sleaze buckets... so the writer...
Michael Grabell... [email]mgrable@dallasnews.com[/email]
now says we have a reason for a follow up article...
My list of demands...
Payment for hotel and phone calls - $150.00 [hilton really sucks you dry on phone calls]
I pair of Guess Tennis Shoes at $125.00
Replacement cost of tennis shoes $125.00
Refund of airfare - $263.00
AND I want a refund on my tickets for Europe $685.00 X 2 [daughter and me]
I told them I would never set foot on another American Airlines flight... and I wanted a full refund...
the bastards...
They flew me home on Delta... with a sky marshall sitting next to me...
I need emails to dallas morning news... AND a possible heads up on an attorney who wants a high profile civil rights lawsuit...
American is calling me telling me this was a 'misunderstanding'...
right... they misunderstood my resolve to exact a price from them for this travesty...
PLEASE SEND EMAILS TO DALLAS MORNING NEWS... PLEASE TRY TO GET OTHER NEWS SOURCES TO CALL ME... Michael Grabell has my number ..
It's time for OUR side to mobilize some support ... CAN WE DO IT???
thanks in advance

Good for Carol.
Truly a pathetic performance from the cops, as usual.
As I've evolved into a White Nationalist over the last couple of years, I haven't lost all of my libertarian leanings -- I still despise cops. What a bunch of miserable thugs.
Carol should sue those SOBs too, not just AA.

Last year a liberial reporter from CA. had a run in with Portland OR. Airport police, like Jim Giles in Jackson Miss. did, but different of course. This Liberial major newspaper writer from CA. who was going home at around Thanks giving, objected verbally to his wife being handled with their first child, I think? So the handling of his wifes pregnant mammary glands being squeezed, and being looked at too, sort of upset him. So if I rememeber right he was put down, cuffed, and locked up in a small closet like cell in the airport, and then separated from his wife. Then the police brought him to the city jail charged with some serious Bogus crap, and the next day he was released.. So the arrested CA. reporter was offered a lesser charge if he accepted, that he could not fly for next 3 months etc.. A columnist for the Oregon State marxist newslesspaper poked fun of him in his column saying the victim over reacted, for his suing the airport for false arrest etc., this recollection is by my memory only..
Any one remember reading about that Medal of Honor recipient who was a retired Marine General in a wheel chair who was hasseled in a AZ airport in the name of security by so called homoland security program a in 2002?... And away we go..........A land of Magoo's lead by the you know who's.......

Another one:
[url]http://www.azcentral.com/specials/special42/articles/0207frisk07.html[/url] "America West spokesman Monahan responded Wednesday: "We have had no evidence for any basis of this allegation." The airline knows the name of the employee but has not disciplined him; an investigation is ongoing. Schmidt went to Napolitano, whose office was flooded with complaints after the incident was publicized.
Air staff complains
The complaints have not been limited to passengers. The Association of Flight Attendants sent a Nov. 9 letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta concerning "unprofessional and abusive behavior by security screeners at airports."
The union cited three instances of harassment: a pregnant flight attendant in Portland, Ore., who had her belly pressed during a body search; a woman "repeatedly rubbed all over her body" with a screening wand in San Francisco; and a flight ...."

This hassling the passengers at airports can be looked at as a test: if too few people complain, that means there's not going to be any revolt if ZOG tightens the screws. Then maybe it's going to become Land of the Free... sheep.

M.R. you better believe whites are pissed all across this "Nation" country at this filthy airport crap. Rather than than profile for savages and the most likely they want to show equality, and so they like jump any white, especially any who is not submissive enough, perhaps? I have a 60 year old friend who had to fly because his mother was dieing in a hospital in Tenn., his dress and looks make him look exactly like an Orvis catalog model, and he is a Gentleman. A savage beast put him up against the wall and ran his hand up his croutch..... White political money grubbing whores is all we have in office today with the exception of a very few I.E. Ron Paul.... The whole airport security thing is just a part of the con-tinuing war against U.S. whites.
Know this folks, private charters and Air Taxi company's is big time business now because the corporate,and wealthy don't like the IDF security laid on U.S. MOST white men have given up going near airports. I have read many articles where the car rental business is booming because of business men who would rather drive that be stripped searched and worry whats in their bags at all time and etc..
Plus with the invasion of African Refugee's against our WILL and with OUT our PERMISSION! LICE have been found on planes when passengers suffered seating on a seat where an invader sat, then went home with lice in their hair and Cockroaches have been a problem. Don't forget the stories of Bed Bug infestations in Motel/Hotels from NYC to S.F.CA. now. Just lovely huh?.. What pole cat politician's have of note spoken up for U.S. on this issue?
Do you think any white men feel like flying today, unless they have no choice? NKVD security for whitey in the name of protecting whitey,from WHO? The airlines are all on the Tax payer backs now for welfare support, is there a U.S. airline NOT getting millions in direct help now?
