Here's an excerpts:
Note: On Thursday night, an antiwar protestor in Milwaukee spit on a returned Iraqi war veteran, Marine Major Jerry Boyle. Boyle is a Republican candidate for Congress in Milwaukee. Boyle served in Operation Iraqi freedom and was posted to Baghdad shortly after the invasion. Although he is an underdog in the race, he has shown up for every campaign forum, where he's won high marks for his civility and willing to face hostile audiences...

More excerpts:
*As Boyle was walking from the stage to the reception, a graduate student from UWM spit on Boyle as he passed by.
*Boyle, restraining himself, went to the restroom to clean up let this incident go.
*I, however, did not.
*After seeing Jerry wipe the spit from his jacket, I asked him what was going on and asked the young man why he spit on him.
*Although it was witnessed by several people (at least five) he denied it and approached me looking for a confrontation. He walked up to me and got right in my face.
*I asked him why he spit on Jerry and he said he didn't but should have because Jerry didn't answer his question to his satisfaction.
*He called me an imperialistic pig and said that I was a puppet for an imperialistic regime. I asked him if that was a new term he had just learned in school and that I was very proud of him for using it in a complete sentence.
