Phony War Protest at Clemson U, Genuine Zot at FR

"The only person there at the time was a man in a black ski mask, trying to set up a sound system he never did get to work." In addition to the ski mask pulled down to conceal his face, the man wore an athletic shirt displaying the word "CUBA" and a white headband over his ski mask with the word "PEACE" scrawled on it.
"We were a little taken aback," relates Cothran. "He looked like a terrorist."
If the manner and appearance of this lone protest leader weren't disconcerting enough, the signs he displayed gave additional pause. "Abortion Isn't Murder, War Is" read one, with the letters in "War" colored red and dripping like blood. Another banner he would unfurl, crudely spray-painted on a bed-sheet, urged "Free Saddam, Arrest Bush."
As if on cue, a line of counter-protesters from the College Republicans made their way to Bowman Field, more than a dozen well-scrubbed campus conservatives with signs of their own.
Two days later, Clemson officials announced an investigation when the man in the black ski mask was identified as Andrew R. Davis, editor-in-chief of a self-described conservative Clemson magazine. Davis admitted he had organized the rally using a phony name and a shell group he called "Clemson Liberals Against War" (C.L.A.W.)"

Davis admitted he had organized the rally using a phony name and a shell group he called "Clemson Liberals Against War" (C.L.A.W.)"I would say his future as an even organizer were dim.

Calls to ask if they then all marched downtown to enlist went unreturned.That question is getting old. Besides, do you really know where to go if you want to enlist?
