If you hadn't been there, the wackos would have had the stageto themselves and they'd have been seen as perhaps mainstream.
Plus you demoralized them and the media.
My only concern is that SOME elements of the opposition seem to have abandoned any sense of HONOR......and violated one of the key principles of our "political warfare" by attacking CIVILIANS.
Over the years, we have certainly engaged the "cancer from A.N.S.W.E.R." many times in "street actions."And, we have even tangled with the "union thugs" once or twice.
But as NASTY as both of those groups of people can be, I do not recall ANY of them pulling a stunt like THESE bozos did:...directly attacking innocent political non-combatants: the graduates and their families.
