Actually, there has been a rash of pieings and other immature activity lately.
Quote:
The Horowitz pie-throwing followed a March 30 incident in which William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, was hit by a pie during a speech at Earlham College in Richmond.
On April 1, conservative commentator Pat Buchanan cut short his speech at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Mich., when he was doused with salad dressing.

Buchanan's visit had evoked controversy on campus because it fell on the birthday of the late Mexican-American labor leader Cesar Chavez. Buchanan favors tighter controls on immigration.

The Kristol pier claims that he doesn't identify as a
liberal. However, many left-leaning people now call themselves progressives.

In TSG police report, they damaged the screen in the venue.

The police report says that the two were members of
Al Pieda. Al Pieda lists
the Biotic Baking Brigade as one of their role models. On the about us section of that website it reads:
Quote:
As multinational corporations accelerate the plunder of our world, a militant resistance has formed in response. Diverse in philosophy and targets, diffuse in geography and structure, the movement comprises freedom-loving folks with a sense of aplomb and gastronomics. Fighting a guerrilla media and ground war with the titans of industry, these revolutionary bakers and pie-slingers have achieved in short order what can truly be called a Global Pastry Uprising (GPU).
This uprising has its roots in the belief that our planet is not dying, it is being killed; and the ones doing the killing have names and faces. Since the GPU began in the late 20th century, dozens of prominent corporate executives, politicians, economists, and sell-out non-governmental organization "leaders" have received their just desserts for crimes against people and the land. When it comes to defending the Earth from the corporate universe, the pie's the limit!
The groups and individuals involved in this unique form of Pie-rect Action have declared their opposition to the neoliberal platform. This platform intends to eliminate individual/local/regional/national autonomy, privatize industries and services, deregulate financial markets, hoodwink citizens into trusting "the invisible hand" of the market to protect them, and legislate corporate global dominance through such trade agreements as the North American Free Trade Agreement, Free Trade Area of the Americas, and General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.

The other group in their "role model" list is left-wing as well. So George is correct in the Coulter instance.
If you go to a site like
Democratic Underground , then you will get a glimpse of what kind of people throw pies.
Anyway, pieing or throwing things is for people who are too stupid and immature to engage in rational debate.
