#1 I've been to alot of concerts, and saw altercations in the parking lot at all of them. I wouldn't expect too many anti-war types at a Toby Keith concert. For all that is said, in the article, there are other explanations that could be told. Mr. Barton could have crossed a drunk guy the wrong way, and was sucker punched. The T-shirt could have had nothing to do with it. I've been trampled in mosh pits, and you just have to expect anything when alcohol is sold in an arena. I hope this kid recovers soon.

#4 Let's re-institute the Greek custom of exiling those profoundly obnoxious to the polis.

Better still, trade a US lefty for a frustrated European scientist or techie entrepreneur. US idiot drain/EU brain drain. Deal?

#5 The LLL's peace rhetoric is a smoke screen. Everything always comes down to an issue of force or violence with them, the violence of the media-licensed mob, the violence of their terrorist allies and totalitarian heroes, and the violence of the criminal scum they so ardently defend. Payback is needed, in the language they understand. One hundred dope-smoking anarchist fuckheads should get the shit kicked out of them for each incident like this, at a bare minimum. Fascistic, the appeasement mob will say? Bullshit, we aren't talking about shooting hostages here, or cutting their heads off for that matter, just housebreaking some doper punks who have earned every bruise and scratch.

#7 Hmm.... I guess Kerry really was in a 'fighting mood'..... didn't think it was 'contagious'.

Just think this guy almost lost his leg so these idiots can attend a concert without fear of being blown up or taken hostage.

Around here (Seattle WA) I think a lot of Bush supporters don't have bumper stickers and/or yard sign for fear of vandalism as the left engages in their 'free speech'.

#8 I think a lot of Bush supporters don't have bumper stickers and/or yard sign for fear of vandalism as the left engages in their 'free speech'

Remember, the left are carefully trained that vandalism and assault and battery counts as free speech. Remember several years ago "freedom loving" leftists at a university vandalized newspapers of conservative students, and the Weasel-Assed Totalitarian University President said there was no problem because the students were expressing "free speech". A judge disagreed, and ordered the students involved in the destruction to pay restitution for the damages.

I believe this happened somewhere in Pennsylvania.
