72. I bet this is FR trickery
Note: Another DUer posted about an FR thread wherein regular, Kristinn, complains to the board that only 40 showed up for their pro-war counter demonstration. Kristinn also claims that one of the veterans among the FR group was spat upon.

My guess is that the FR folks probably provoked the saliva shot. I wonder if the NYT stringer bothered to find out what happened before the slobber hit the dirt?

I read a page of that FR thread. I feel like I need to bathe in bleach now.
