A Yale a cappella group was severely beaten after singing the national anthem in San Francisco on New Year's Eve

    How's this for an only-in-San Francisco story:

    Members of the Baker's Dozen, the renowned, all-male a cappella singing group from Yale, are pummeled outside a New Year's Eve party after singing "The Star-Spangled Banner."


It's not totally clear that the two things were connected and, in fact, the explanation for this could easy be that the attackers were just assholes. Certainly a general assholery is a more comforting explanation than the idea that young San Franciscans just viciously hate America.

However, given the political bent of the vast majority of SF's population statistically its much, much, more likely than not that the attackers were liberal, not conservative.
