"There are seven of us who worked really hard at putting this conference together, said Jason Cole of the college republicans. "so, we met, discussed and majority ruled. We went down there."

Jason Cole (chair) also shows up on the agenda page of Midwest Caucus Leadership Conference

I'd still like to know the identity of the one who did the shoving.

The source link is still offering "Our apologies."

Someone from DU has posted this to Buzzflash in full (no additional details). The original report is not even on Google News now (but Google News considers the Buzzflash Blog a "news" site). Funny how in my correspondence with the operator of Google News, complaints about violent hate speech ("shoot our troops" and "Bush is Hitler" - a phrase denounced by the Simon Weisenthal Center and others) fell on deaf ears because they occurred in the forum portion of DUh and not the "editorial" which is what Google considers "news". Yet here is another discussion blog listed as "news".

I'd like to know the real story of what happened and why the media dropped coverage of this event. What made them change their minds?

Here's the revised article (slightly rewritten and a less dramatic headline):

Political Rally Ends in Shoving Match (Joan Jett article redux)

Still lacking many details.
