It looks something like North Korea.

Are you saying that it is against freedom to wear T-shirt with Bush face and to gather?

Grzegorz 246: It looks something like North Korea.

So is Dear Leader Bush to you as well, Gregorz?

I have to laugh at some of the things people say without thinking. I guess people's world view is colored by their already preconceived notions.

We cannot compare USA and Russia, because it is important cultural difference between American and Slavic culture. I’m representative of Slavic culture and I don’t remember any examples for mass scale, of people wearing T-shirts with faces of politicians in this region. Party activist wearing just T-shirts with party symbol, normal citizens don’t like politicians and parties at all then it is impossible to see them in such T-shirts. Election campaign as well isn’t the same like America.
