Students Pelt Karl Rove In Protest


White House Advisor Karl Rove was the target of a protest on the American University campus Tuesday night, NBC 4 reported.

Rove was on the campus to talk to the College Republicans, but when he got outside more than a dozen students began throwing things at him and at his car, an American University spokesperson said.

The students then got on the ground and laid down in front of his car as a protest.

The students said security officials picked them up and carried them away so Rove could leave.

Police said they have dealt with a lot of protests on campus and this one was handled peacefully.

No one was arrested.

1. Seems our elite ruling class is
having to deal with the little people they have screwed. I suspect they find it annoying.

2. "...things..."
I wonder what was thrown. 'Things' seems a little vague.
