Tell the truth, her she tacked that bit about "invading" onto her ever present "Lesbians Against Boys" poster, didn't she?

I know Matt Drudge had linked to it as well.

Hmmmmmmm

That was the ONLY report online that described this event. I searched Google News for Joan Jett and Republicans (because of the College Republicans).

Certainly is curious pending further details. If it turns out to be brownshirt Rats in Republican clothing will it get a retraction from the media?

I know. Took me awhile to find that one source after I saw the videotape on my local TV.

That's the importance of posting articles in full on FR, as a historical reference in case something fishy pops up later.

I'm hoping to see a statement from that chapter of college Republicans.

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

Maybe my visions off, but those three women all look alike. Lesbian triplets?

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?

Something made the media drop it...something stinks.

Lesbians against Bush? Isn't that like "Christians against Jesus?"

What an idiot. There is no way I'd mess with Joan Jett.

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.

Do a Google search on "lesbian triplets" and see how many hits you get :-)

Even they were straight, they wouldn't be my type. I like a woman with plenty of brains between her ears and a lot hair between her...

Wrong Bush. Sorry.
