It was a clash of elites vs. populists. In their smugness and arrogance, the protestors thought they were speaking for all America. They weren't. I thought Muhammed Ali was heroic, at least he was willing to do time in the name of his beliefs.

My memory, which is a trifle hazy on this, tells me that both sides were ready for, and welcomed, the confrontation. The protestors weren't exactly shrinking violets.
