Subject: Senator Obama extended his personal apology to those two women. They and the Council on American Islamic Relations accepted his apology. Furthermore, they weren’t arrested or ticketed. The Republican Party is infamous for throwing people out of their rally’s. No one from the Republican Party, including McCain has given an apology and this woman is suing the city for being ticketed. / Vivian

Subject: There is a big difference between these events. These women were not arrested, or even prevented from attending, they were just not allowed to sit behind Obama... It's staging. I'm sure McCain wouldn't want KKK in their regalia sitting behind him. (now, I'm not making any accusations, just making a comparison). Obama, because of his NAME is already having problems with close minded people who affliate all Muslims with terrorism. .... oh, it's too early in the morning and I'm getting lost in what I'm trying to say. I hope what I'm saying is making sense. I'm sure the women wouldn't have been rejected if they had not had the headgear on. ............and since I'm trying to be fair here, the woman in the first clip did kinda egg on the situation. she was told all she had to do was remove the sign and she refused. What IS offensive is that they gave her a ticket for trespassing instead of just denying her access. Of course, anyone else carrying signs should have also been removed. /Gma b@s
