Last month I wrote a diary entry on DailyKos while in the Storm Center for Dean volunteers in Des Moines late at night. Two guys I met that evening told me about how earlier in the day Dean supporters fought off a Young Republican assault (they disrupted a Dean rally, ripped up Dean signs, and shoved Joan Jett on stage) by singing the Star Spangled Banner loudly and I thought it was an amazing story that needed to be shared widely:

Today, PaulDem wrote a Kos diary on how he remembered reading this story, and led the gays and lesbians in line for marriage licenses in San Francisco in singing the Star Spangled Banner today. Once again, the Right Wing protesters/interrupters sorta joined in the singing (how can you not?) then left.
