What Mr Bono, a devout Catholic and patriot who prides himself on being a macho ibérico, received seems to have been a “gay-bashing”, provoked by the government's promotion of gay rights. “Hate-filled women” in fur coats punched him; others called him an “assassin” and a “defender of poofters”. He and another Socialist politician fled, after a man wielding an iron bar joined the attack. The police questioned two members of an opposition People's Party (PP) committee, one of whom was photographed clasping a broken flagpole.

Sounds like Taiwan..........not Spain.

It's Spain - under the left. Welcome to the Brave New World of Spanish Socialism.

Bono is as devout a Catholic as Kerry, and he's not a patriot either, unless you consider Socialism to be his país. Furthermore, he and the entire Spanish government have spent day and night promoting "gay marriage," though he's the Defense Minister and, in theory, has other things to do. But actually, he's been doing them, because he did have time to visit Hugo Chavez and sign the papers for Spain to start producing naval vessels for Venezuela, which is Zapatero's favorite Socialist hell-hole.
