Cold War Makes Brief Reappearance..
2003-02-05
From Instapundit. It's near the bottom of the page.
President Bush was in Grand Rapids, Mich., last week to unveil the administration’s health-care reform plan. Meanwhile, outside an estimated 500 pro- and anti-Bush demonstrators clashed in a savage snowball fight. “There was about 10 inches on the ground,” reported Ehlers, so opposing forces had plenty of ammo.
It was inevitable, I suppose.
By the time order was restored, several demonstrators were arrested. But Ehlers, a professor at UC-Berkeley in the 1960s, wasn’t impressed. “Nothing like a Vietnam protest,” he said of the melee, in which outnumbered Bush supporters routed their opponents, according to one participant, by using “better target selection and superior firepower.”
On to Baghdad!
