- Just like Dan Quayle in the VP debate. "WWWWHHHAAAAAaa, my turn."
- Or Bush supporters ripping down Clinton signs or physically abusing

- Conservative opposition to the Maplethorpe exhibit.
- Any number of attempts to ban books from school or
- public libraries.
- The political pigeon-holeing of a prisoner who was

- An attempt to make burning the flag illegal.
-
