When HIPublicans Attack

I always thought it was the PC Police (who have the nerve to suspend fraternities for paying homage to that great American cultural institution, the minstrel show) that was a threat to intellectual freedom on our college campuses:

A Democratic rally at Drake's Olmstead Center, urged young Iowans to get out and vote. It was targeted toward high school and college students. A group known for not voting. The rally featured comedian Janene Garafalo and classic rock star Joan Jett, but it got a surprise visit from some unwanted guests.

A group of college republicans at their Midwest caucus leadership conference heard about the rally and stormed in.

The college republicans in question were upset by the fact that their 7 student confrence (on the same day as the Democratic rally with b-list celebrities and day before the Iowa caucuses) wasn't getting any media attention, so they decided it would be a could idea to disrupt the Democratic event. Ah, those south park republicans and their high spirited brown shirt tactics.
