So you are saying that liberals *do* believe violence is a solution
when it is their ox being gored. Thank you for admitting this.

Violence in this situation was delt out to the heckler after HE became
violent; it was a matter of self-defense. Are you saying now that you
are against self-defense?

Were you there, Stan? I was.
It wasn't at all well-handled by either the Dean Campaign's Security,
or by Franken. It would have been very easy for it to go from a Marx
Brothers (Night at the Opera, specifically) farce to a real tragedy.
As in people getting killed. Not good planning on the campaign's
part, and plenty of poor judgement calls to go around.

That said, Franken did do something that was a positive step,
afterwoard - a special show for the benefit of the Palace Theatre
Trust, which owns and operates the Palace Theatre in Manchester.
