I posted this article mostly for this brief excerpt. It is a new account of the "
brawl" "scuffle", er whatever it was between Joan Jett and a heckler. This downplays the violence even more (indicating that the heckler was throwing punches as he was being tossed out).
Later in the day, at a rally in Concord, N.H., there was shouting but not from Dean. Hecklers interrupted his speech at least five times, including one at the start of the speech who was dragged out while throwing punches. Dean stayed calm though each disruption and during one responded by singing the national anthem into the microphone. The crowd, which included rocker Joan Jett, joined in the singing to drown out the heckler's yelling, then followed by chanting, ``Howard Dean! Howard Dean!''
It may seem like a mountain out of a molehill but some Democrat operatives have been trying to propagate the original report (which was pulled off the web and toned down). They are trying to spin hate (calling the Republicans "blackshirts", don't they know ANARCHISTS are blackshirts?).

On Tuesday . . . Later in the day, at a rally in Concord, N.H., there was shouting but not from Dean. Hecklers interrupted his speech at least five times, including one at the start of the speech who was dragged out while throwing punches. Dean stayed calm though each disruption and during one responded by singing the national anthem into the microphone. The crowd, which included rocker Joan Jett, joined in the singing to drown out the heckler's yelling, then followed by chanting, ``Howard Dean! Howard Dean!''
Wha----? Another scuffle? Instant replay of Saturday?

Notice how much the famous Dean Yelp sounded like Peter Boyle in Young Frankenstein?

His anger is weird, but his calm is even weirder.

Can't revitalize something that was never vital anyway.

By far, the most satisfying aspect of Dean's flop in Iowa is the fact that he was enthusiastically endorsed by our esteemed senator, Tom "Dungheap" Harkin.
It's always a pleasure to imagine the Dungheap eating some humble pie.

Maybe Gore will advise Dean to change his image with lots of makeup.... like Gore did in the one debate. Dean could be the new painted lady.

Here's another account:
Local Dean fans not so happy
(excerpt)
Republicans haven't gone unheard in Iowa. Weinberg saw dozens of college-age supporters of President George W. Bush crash Saturday night's Dean bash at Drake University, which featured rock singer Joan Jett and comedian Janeane Garafalo. Weinberg was close to the stage with a video camera and taped some of the Republicans who came in with signs, banners and chanted Bush's name. They grabbed signs from Dean supporters and one of them bumped Jett, Weinberg said.
"She said, You can hit me, but don't mess with my guitar,'" Weinberg said. "It was absolutely incredible."
Dean supporters started singing the national anthem to drown out the Bush people, who were finally ushered out by security, Weinberg said.
