13-year-old Bush Supporter Beaten by Pro-Gore Crowd
The airwaves have been filled lately with Democrats complaining about the intimidation tactics of pro-Bush demonstrators.
So it will be particularly interesting to see what some of these same folks have to say about the latest report of political intimidation, one that involves not just angry taunts and jostling but the beating of a 13-year-old boy by supporters of the vice president.
It happened over the weekend as Gore and Bush supporters gathered on opposite corners of Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, D.C.
On Tuesday, the Washington Post buried this item in the seventh paragraph of its report on the dueling protests:
"A scuffle [broke out] Sunday in which a 13-year-old boy heading home from the Bush corner crossed to the Gore side and took a punch in the gut."
The Post did not say whether the boy required medical attention after the attack or if police had been notified.
