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.
