Julia Gorin, a wonderful humor columnist and conservative stand-up comic, recently set up a Bush/Cheney table near Madison Square Garden. She recounted her experience with angry liberals in the Washington Post yesterday. Here’s a tease:

“Haven’t you seen ‘Fahrenheit 9/11′ ?” one man screamed at us as he passed. “You’re close-minded!” (Wait a minute, who’s close-minded?)”Not my president!” yelled another.

“The fascists are coming!” boomed a third while walking around in a circle and flailing his arms. “Look, they’re already here!”

And more:

“Shame on you!”

“Is this, like, satire?”

“George W. Bush is the devilllllll!”

Then there was the middle-aged man who pulled at his hair every time someone actually bought something from us. “You’re giving them money?!” he’d cry. When he first came upon us, his greeting was, “This is New York — you don’t belong here!”

Read the rest here. (And, for balance, a liberal recounts his experience in red-state Mississippi here.)
