I'm a bit torn about this...was the word offensive? Unfortunately, I see alot of people wearing t-shirts with that word. The disdain and humiliation should come from good people, I don't know if throwing her off of the flight was the right thing. I'm interested to hear what others think. If it were a shirt with Bill and Hillary with similar text, would you be mad she was thrown off? I hope everyone is honest here.

"Here we are trying to free another country and I have to get off an airplane in midflight over a T-shirt. That's not freedom."
It's not about freedom, you frikkin' ditz... Southwest is NOT the government. They have a right to make and enforce rules as to how passengers behave.

Heasley told the Reno Gazette-Journal, "Here we are trying to free another country and I have to get off an airplane in midflight over a T-shirt. That's not freedom."Freedom for me but not for thee, huh Heasley? Southwest is a private company with the same rights as you, you vulgar trollop. You are perfectly welcome and encouraged to find another airline.
The headline is a bogus one as well. It wasn't the political statement that got the idiot ejected it was the vulgarity. The writer knows this and with with the political angle anyway. Dishonesty and the media go togethe like Michael Moore and pork chops.

It's not the politics of the message, it's that word. That word alone should be enough to have her thrown off the plane. If you can't conduct yourself civilly, you can expect to be asked to leave a lot of places. Actions have consequences.

I wish I would have been on that flight. Instead of kicking her off, I would have asked for the seat next to her. By the time the flight arrived that shirt would have been torn to pieces. Think I'll take a can of spray paint with me now on..you know, the kind they use to color their hair?

If she got off mid-flight wouldn't that have been at 30,000 feet. Just asking the obvious.

I wouldn't be upset at all. A bit less shocked, perhaps, but not upset. ;o)
All airlines have rules governing the behavior of their passengers. Some of these rules seem (or are) silly, but they have a right to enforce them as they see fit. Would I have kicked her off the flight? I might have asked her to change her top in the bathroom first, and then tossed her if she refused. Ultimately, though, the pilot is responsible for the safety of his passengers, and such a politically-charged message could, in the airlines' eyes, cause problems.

The airline would be in the right even if Bin-Laden were the object of the vulgarity. But then, I half-support blue laws against voicing obscenities in the presence of women and children.

All the Golf Courses I play won't allow shirts W/O collars.
Shirts with collars usually don't have controversial info on them.

I have a t-shirt that has a picture of Hillary as Hitler, and the other night I actually was approached by the owner of a diner that asked me to leave because it would "offend" his largely blue-collar Union customers.
I told him to go pound salt.

Anybody see her photo?
I did.
She looks like Cindy Sheehan after a three week malt liquor and twinkie binge.

Words that are not allowed on the public airwaves should ALSO NOT be allowed for public consumption, i.e. on a flight.....if she wants to wear the shirt in her backyard or at her parents house, that's OKAY, but in public...NO. There should be SOME standards.

"I might have asked her to change her top in the bathroom first, and then tossed her if she refused." I understand they DID ask her to do just that.
