Andy,
Surely you are not taking the position that there is a presumption that outside
agitators, not Nader supporters where responsible for disrupting the Gore event at
Macalaster. Now it is possible that is the case, but I think it is a more likely
assumption that it was in fact overzealous Nader supporters who denied other U.S.
citizens their right to free speech.
The people that choose to disrupt the event should have been brought under control
by the Green Party Nader supporters that put out the call for them to show up at the
event. If that wasn't possible Macalaster campus security should have start
ejecting and/or arresting the protesters if they refused to cease and desist.
After all if they feel that strongly about the righteousness of their cause, they
should be willing to pay the price for practicing civil disobedience and fill up the
jails and courts with their persons.
