And these are the best and brightest of today's young Democrats? Words fail me.

Interesting that the Kerry supporter would start with the 'gay' taunt, huh?

[wideawake]

I'm sure in liberal MN their records for felony assault won't follow them into the job market. They'll be good union thugs in a few years.

And I'm sure they'll be allowed to vote as well.

Zoo schooled Dems end up in cage

[Lijahsbubbe]

A bunch of cowards. Three on one.

[Larry Lucido]

"Some people said only gay people vote for Bush." Chad said the victim said "only gay people would vote for Kerry because he supports gay marriage."

Sounds like the gays didn't rate very highly at all in this debate.

Ever notice that Islam claims to be the "religion of peace" and the Dims claim to be the "party of peace"

I wonder if that shows a commonality

What Democrat voters and Liberal voters are teaching their children today by example, I consider no different than the way that Palestinian parents are teaching their children. Intolerance, hatred and abuse.

The Left needs to look very closely in a mirror, very soon.

I'm not sure if this is political or a bunch of guys just fighting to be fighting. The topic seems to be more who is "gay" rathet than who won IMO. It would be interesting to know if any of these kids have got into clashes with each other before. No one should get "beat up" but it seems both sides kept it going.

Chad got to his car, but the three 17-year-olds attacked the victim, he said, hitting him in face, including with a baseball bat and kicking him. One boy had a padlock wrapped around his finger, Chad said.

Life in prison with no parole or capital punishment ?

Tough choice

Okay, I'll be liberal. Confiscation of citizenship, large restitution to be paid by perps, their family, or the Democrat Party to the victim, and deportation or perps to terrorist country of his choice.

Minnesota bump

[BBell]

no mention of their status in the school. They should be expelled.

[lotusblos]

Typical of the liberal mentality, they can't win in a debate of words so they take up weapons against the unarmed. What pussies!

[Arrowhead1952]

Another article about the intolerant left..... When will this stop????

[Osage Orange]

It's believed to be the only election-related beating in Dakota County.

ROFLOL!!!

What a line..!!!

Although, I'm thinking J. Heinz Kerry took a beating this last election..!!

The great state of public schools.

"It's a good thing to see young people interested and excited about politics," said Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom.

What an effing idiot.

[F16Fighter]

Wouldn't it be easier for Democrats just bring to the floor a bill to secede from the Republic?

We can surrender to them ALL the Big Cities, zoos, meth clinics, abortion shops, bath houses, can't we?

[KC_Conspirator]

Sounds like future IUPAT workers to me. Size them up for black yellow t-shirts and get them praticing ripping up little girls signs.

As a professional scientist and environmental consultant for more than a decade, I see in this article an off-topic point that I'd like to address.

I think few people are aware of an ongoing struggle in education.

Note the name of where this took place: Apple Valley's School of Environmental Studies

That's not the same as Environmental Science. Environmental Studies includes things like activism, etc. Many people are vigorously opposing the attempts to water down the science side of academic programs and still call them science. When I'd receive a résumé from a prospective entry-level environmental candidate, I had to be careful to determine which type of training they'd received in school--environmental science or merely environmental studies.

The author gets things right, saying "...the specialized science and environmental programs..." later in the article. That's not to say that environmental can't be science, but it's clear that this program treats them separately, and does both.

So, if any of you have children interested in environmental stuff and they want to major in it, be sure they get a real degree, not just a sheet of paper.
