Classy response from the Union. I was involved (in my young, liberal college days) in a Dukakis rally outside of a GHW Bush speech event. Pro-GHW Bush thugs from the Theta Chi fraternity (yes, republicans have thugs too) plunged through the crowd of protesters ripping up signs and screaming at 4'10" women who were protesting GHW Bush.
I'm a Theta Chi, and I never ripped up any Dukakis signs.
OTOH, I never had the opportunity, either.
