varrus, you must be so conflicted in how to put the most appropriate partisan spin on a non-partisan incident. On the one hand, you have some kids being attacked for singing the star spangled banner, and by San-Franciscans no-less, so clearly you should side with the singers. On the other hand, however, you have a bunch of high-fallutin' choirboy pussies from an elitist liberal institution getting their asses handed to them by people who call other people "faggots", so you've got to side with the tough guys as well. Now, most would look at this and say that it has nothing whatsoever to do with partisan politics, but clearly not you. So, the only question at this point is which silly oversimplification of events fits best.
