Glenn labels this the crushing of dissent, and I have to disagree. I will call it what it is: Absolutely Disgusting.
Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Due, right, a U.S. Army recruiter, is surrounded by protesters at Seattle Central Community College, Thursday, Jan. 20, 2005, in Seattle. After about a 10-minute standoff during which protesters tore up U.S Army literature, the protesters were successful in getting Due and another recruiter to leave their table under escort by campus security officers. Several hundred students walked out of classes at several Seattle colleges and universities to protest the inauguration of President Bush.
This isn’t dissent. This is despicable. Although when you peruse the rhetoric of ‘moderate’ Democrats like Oliver Willis, it is hardly surprising that the ‘radical fringe’ might do something like this. After all, ‘moderate’ Oliver’s buddy Michael Moore seems to be stirring up the twerps.
