DAYTONA BEACH -- A beer-soaked Madia Paris-Wells looked shaken.



N-J/Joanna Kaney Olivari Protesters wave signs criticizing President Bush at the corner of International Speedway Boulevard and an entrance to the Speedway on Sunday in Daytona Beach.

She and 35 other George Bush protesters had encountered plenty of profanity along their prerace march Sunday to the Daytona International Speedway from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. But a beer bottle, thrown by an enraged race fan, turned dissent into near disaster.
The glass bottle shattered on a narrow aluminum pole, barely missing the head of Paris-Wells, a 23-year-old Embry-Riddle student.

"That was real close," she said, watching as a police officer led a woman away in handcuffs. "I'm glad the cop ran after (her). They handled it real well."

One of the protest organizers, 21-year-old Majid Vasigh, an Embry-Riddle senior, said Bush needed to know "he didn't necessarily have the NASCAR dad vote in the bag."

1. It's cool the cops arrested the woman.

I like when cops protect the safety and rights of protesters. Seems rare (or at least rarely reported) these days.

2. Yes, it would be great if she missed the whole race while being booked

and even better if she was a Dale Jr. fan, thereby missing her hero win the race.

3. Took real courage to protest.

A big thank you, and well done! to those who participated.

from the article:

Bush supporters on foot and in cars hollered and cursed at the protesters, calling them communists and "un-American crap," while urging them to "go back to Iraq."

"go back to Iraq"??? Um, er, I don't quite get it.
