Every single private event that took place here, from a Tom Tancredo breakfast, to Sheriff Joe speaking at a bookstore, to Ann Coulter speaking at a university hall — the screaming libs took over. They were escorted out, but had already caused a huge disturbance. Who wants to run the gauntlet of angry Communists in order to go see Sheriff Joe? (It’s good that I was dressed like one of the hippies that day though, so they didn’t swing their pinata head of the sheriff at me.)
