man I rock! It wasn't a full blown choke hold, more of a chest hold and drag. The story, some far-right Phelps type came to WSU today and started spouting the most hateful verbal sputum. A young female student whose father is a minister confronted him. He started quoting scripture telling her she has no place at school, women have no business in pants, they should be home with babies. Right after that he called a theology student fat and a glutton. When Islamic students got their turn he told them about the place reserved in hell for them. I could go on and on but I think you see by now that this was basically not a nice guy.
I had just written an article about the Equal Rights Amendment and the Conservative movement to kill it every time it comes up. I had my facts under control but not my temper. When he made the young female student cry I dove in, head first. My questions were fast and furious, giving him no time to answer. There is no answer anyway, these guys only judge and twist. His response was to get in my face, less than an inch away and yell, "Liar, blasphemer!" over, and over. In a flash some big guy had me in the abbreviated choke hold and was dragging me away. I got a pretty good cheer from the crowd, so at least I got that going for me. Photos? You know I got um, I always roll with a camera!
