Hecklers Banned At Bush Rallies
LAS VEGAS, August 13, 2004
Bush's "Friendly" Rallies
(CBS)
There was a full-throated roar of support for President Bush at a New
Mexico rally -- adoring crowds and a beaming candidate -- the stuff
great political theater is made of -- and it's no accident, reports
CBS New White House Correspondent Bill Plante.
Said a rally organizer, "I wanna hear lots of cheering in there for
the president!"
The event tickets went to busloads of pre-screened party faithful --
who poured in hours in advance -- to be greeted and organized by Bush
campaign staffers.
"We don't want anybody with a dry throat. We want you yelling for the
president!" they were told.
The art of TV-friendly political stagecraft reaches new levels in this
campaign.
At "Ask President Bush" events, even the president makes no bones
about the fact that he's speaking to invited guests.
"Okay, I've asked some citizens to come and help me make my points,"
he said.
As relaxed and affable as a talk show host, the president answers
friendly questions -- which are often not questions at all.
"Mr. President, I don't have a question. I've got three thank-yous,"
said one supporter.
He also helps his handpicked guests to make a point.
"I don't know, Linda, if you're in a position to say this. But most
people who go back to school with the new jobs end up making more
money."
Linda: "Absolutely."
Mr. Bush: "Yeah, she was. That's good."
This tight control means that hecklers like those who greeted Kerry
and Edwards in Missouri are almost never seen at Bush events.
And that doesn't seem to bother the president's supporters.
"I think it was more of a rally to get the supporters rallied up, so I
think it served its purpose," said a guest.
But what about inviting some voters who haven't yet made up their
minds?
"You mean the people who don't support Bush? They're only gonna sit
and chat and you won't get to hear anything," said a backer.
It's all about getting out the message without any distractions, and
making sure that there's no public argument to spoil the party.
