I hear Michelle Obama once sampled a grape at the supermarket, one stinking grape. And she didn't pay for it. Let's release the hounds!
Why is it stupid to bar people from campaigning in a polling place?

That's theft in case you didn't know.
And you're talking apples while this thread is about oranges.
The punishment should fit the crime.
"I don't think it would be much to imagine, the First Lady might support her husband's agenda," Gibbs smiled.
She didn't tell the guy what she likes to fix Barack for breakfast. She talked about his politics.

This thread pisses me off!
I have to say that for once I actually agree with Robert Gibbs.

I hear what you're saying, I just disagree. It's another case of the law applying to us, but not to them. We get what they want, they tell us what they are going to do, they do differently and people are getting beyond angry.

It is not stupid to bar people from campaigning in public places, but she was not campaigning. She mentioned her husband and she mentioned that she supports his policies. That is not campaigning. That is being a loving spouse.
And like I said originally, everything she says these days is political. Perhaps, we should muzzle her before letting her enter a precinct?

I think that focusing on a simple crime like this is a minor thing to some. They can make a mountain out of a molehill when it comes to hiring a maid and forgetting to sign a document properly but this is too random and trivial to discuss. Let's focus on the GOP and forget about the occasional law-breaking that the Dems do everyday.

If she were taking some kind of an intimidating stance on something or taking names of people who disagree with her husband, I would have a problem with this. But... well, first off, this comes from Drudge, so trusting the report is one thing, but even if it were true, for her to say that she supports her husband's policies is not campaigning in my opinion.
If it is then just wearing a lapel pin stating that you are either a Democrat or a Republican would also be campaigning.
I'm fine with not wasting the prosecutor's time or budget on this case.

Horseshit. She was campaigning. It comes in various forms. Giving a speech, showing up at a church, going to your workplace, showing up on The View, whatever.
Emanual has goons who pretend to be media. They rough up the real media who ask tough questions.
Now I ask you, if you think you can get away with campaigning at a polling place, don't you think you believe you can get away with anything?

You would not be able to enter a polling area wearing a candidate's pin or party pin, at least where I've lived in IL. Seriously, it's enforced. Actually other than saying hello, there's little talk inside the polling place between voters.
If you don't think the first lady just showing up with her entourage is intimidating, guess again. That wasn't the time or place. I don't think she should be prosecuted, but do think the media should cover it, so there's not more of it with Emanuel coming back.

Are you saying that she should have been forced to vote using an absentee ballot and she should not have been allowed in the precinct at all? She is a celebrity. Just walking into the precinct was a political statement. Perhaps she should have been arrested for that?
She let someone take pictures with her and she mentioned she supported her husband's policies! That is not campaigning and from what I read in the article she did not pass out any pamphlets as someone said in this discussion earlier.
