AMY GOODMAN: What did you do exactly?
KRIS HERMES: Well, we sat on the floor in the New York delegation area and when Andrew Card began to speak, we blew whistles, stood up on the chairs, and chanted and held signs. There was a banner that was attempted to be unfurled, and then proceeded to be assaulted by Young Republicans.

Legally assault is defined as the threat of violence, whereas battery is actually acting on the threat.
So just the fact that they were charged with assault but not battery implies that the right knows they have no real evidence that these protestors were actually violent.
Here's a report from Your Call Radio:

Hey, this whole country has been assaulted by Young Republicans...
Yeah, and there must be a "battery" involved , or we wouldn't be so charged up about it, right?
