"One of the Bush supporters shoved Jett and she pushed back in anger."

(note: I just posted this in the GD forum, and, while I'm not one to cross-post like this, and apologies if I'm in violation of any rules, this episode just has me fuming. Plus, this might remind some here of who the real enemy is.)


This story was posted in LBN earlier today by johnfunk.

A group of college republicans decided to storm a Dem rally for one of our candidates, where Jett was performing. I thought that a GD thread might be in order, and hopefully generate an overwhelming "calming" response to these "compassionate" bushists and rovians who feel that storming an event and shoving women is an acceptable means of political discourse.

From that thread:

Two political rallies turned into a brawl Saturday night in Des Moines.

A Democratic rally at Drake's Olmstead Center, urged young Iowans to get out and vote. It was targeted toward high school and college students. A group known for not voting. The rally featured comedian Janene Garafalo and classic rock star Joan Jett, but it got a surprise visit from some unwanted guests.

A group of college republicans at their Midwest caucus leadership conference heard about the rally and stormed in.

I found the following email addresses at the "Iowa Federation of College republicans" website ( http://www.ifcr.org/mclc.html ). I'm sure a little googling could turn up fax numbers, and more. Drop these sweeties a line, would you.

2. Please note the subtle propoganda

""One of the Bush supporters shoved Jett and she pushed back in anger."

Bush supporters "shove". Jett, a Dem, "pushes in anger"

Gee, I guess the Repuke gave a freindly shove!

3. It Is A Shame, My Friend, She Did Not Break A Rib Or Two Of The Wretch

Asked whether evil ought to be repaid with good, the Master replied: "With what, then, do I repay good? Repay good with good; repay evil with correction."
