It all started with Rush Limbaugh s somewhat snarky response to a caller, who lamented that his wife controlled the family budget and wouldn t give him the $29.95 he needed to subscribe to Limbaugh s newsletter.

Limbaugh, who will be posthumously honored at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday night, replied, Why don t you try a bake sale?

They’d form human chains to try to block police from reaching the mostly teenage and college-age protesters, shouting: “Beat us, don’t beat the kids.”
At times, the authorities obliged. Many of the volunteers, including an 83-year-old known as Uncle Wong, were tear-gassed and pepper- sprayed.
