COLD WAR IN GRAND RAPIDS -- Snowball fight erupts during president’s healthcare message
President Bush was in Grand Rapids, Mich., last week to unveil the administration’s health-care reform plan. Meanwhile, outside an estimated 500 pro- and anti-Bush demonstrators clashed in a savage snowball fight.
By the time order was restored, several demonstrators were arrested. But [U.S. Rep. Vernon] Ehlers, a professor at UC-Berkeley in the 1960s, wasn’t impressed. “Nothing like a Vietnam protest,” he said of the melee, in which outnumbered Bush supporters routed their opponents, according to one participant, by using “better target selection and superior firepower.”
