Well, I ran into
Democrat bussed in thugs in Houston, Sept. 1998, when we protested against Clinton. The Freepers organized the protest, along with a non-Freeper whom we got to join us, and along with Downing Street Pub that gave us CIGARS and sponsored our Happy Hour afterward. They had to pay THEIR thugs to show up. We volunteered to go!
Then here in Los Angeles, at the Davis/Simon debate at LA Times bldg. the Davis union thugs all came dressed alike, matching signs professionally printed, and they were so loud and rude and mean, that Green party candidate couldn't even be interviewed outside the bldg. These thugs are scary! They get paid to show up and bully us!
