| Angry Liberals find a solution to their anger. | | TUCSON - University of Arizona police arrested two men who ran on stage and threw custard pies at syndicated conservative columnist Ann Coulter as she was giving a speech on campus.
One of the pies glanced off Coulter's shoulder, police said.
William Zachary Wolff and Phillip Edgar Smith, both 24, of Tucson, were booked on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and assault and on felony charges of criminal damage, police Cmdr. Kevin Haywood said Friday.
He said university officials estimated that the pie-throwing caused $3,000 in damage.
Coulter is not the only victim of these pie throwing pranks, other Conservatives include Bill Cristol, and Micheal Savage. Although Coulter dodged the pie, both Bill Cristol and Micheal Savage, Both were successfully hit in the face.
---- My Take
I want to congratulate these liberals for making their political group look extremly mature. [chanting] How low can you go? How low can you go? [/chanting]

| This happened a looooooooooong time ago.
Come off the fucking liberal thing. You do NOT know those men were 'liberals'. All you know is that they didn't like Ann Coulter. I can't stand the woman! I love how in her column right afterwards she was like "They attacked me, a little 110 woman in high heels and a short skirt". Oh wow, way to make everyone feel so damn bad for someone who said that liberals should be shot in order to make an example of them, and that we should go over to Iraq and kill everyone and turn them into Christians. And Michael Moore is the anti Christ! lmao |

| LMFAOOOOOO that shit is funny. And, btw, I'm sure it goes both ways. At my college, some Republicans were having a BBQ to protest the liberal PETA people. They had a sign that was like, "Baby seals taste better clubbed."
It goes both ways. |

| Indeed it does Nancy: Quote:
A rabid right-wing radio talk-show host has been stirring up a campaign of hatred aimed at local liberals. In this case, though, the threats have gone beyond simply empty words into concrete action involving threats and intimidation.
The talk-show host in question is a fellow named John Stokes, who operates little KGEZ-AM, a radio station south of town next to Highway 93 . Shortly after Stokes took over in 2000, he began broadcasting right-wing screeds that indeed made Rush Limbaugh sound like "the voice of reason" in contrast. Stokes regularly launched vitriolic attacks on all kinds of liberals; gays and lesbians came in for special scorn (he accused two lesbian activists in Missoula whose home had burned down in an arson of setting the fire themselves), and of course Bill Clinton was a frequent target.
The primary targets of Stokes' venom, though, were conservationists and environmentalists, for whom not even the most appalling comparison nor the most groundless accusation was adequate: Stokes constantly referred to them as Nazis, and the central thrust of all his attacks was that "greens" were responsible for nearly everything that was wrong with life in Western Montana, particularly the depressed economy. Indeed, Stokes has referred frequently to Patriot conspiracy theories, and not merely on the subject of environmentalists (who are viewed by militia types as a cult intent on enslaving the rest of mankind); he's also trotted out Patriot theories on such subjects as taxation and the Constitution.
Unsurprisingly, his audience reflects this kind of proto-fascist orientation. Many of his callers have outright advocated violence against conservationists, and Stokes has encouraged them to do so.
The real-life consequences of all this talk made quite clear that this was not merely "entertainment," and that Stokes' "hot talk" was doing more than just garnering ratings. Beginning in the summer of 2001, local conservationists began receiving a series of death threats, some delivered in person, others by phone. Car windows were smashed in, tires slashed. Strange men would show up in people's yards at twilight, then run off when confronted. People's homes were vandalized. Others would be followed home by men in pickups or on motorcycles. Sometimes the teenage children of the targets were threatened.
And egging all of these people on was John Stokes. Sometimes callers would announce on his show that a local conservationist was on vacation, which would present an opportunity to "visit their home." In others, a caller would simply give the home address of an environmental activist who had just been vilified as "Satanic" on the air by Stokes.
Like all bullies, they prove cowards in a real fight. It's time for the rest of America to start fighting.
| Makes some pie throwing look a little silly compared to death threats to children, huh? |

You know they were liberals. I dont think anyone else would do anything like that. Whatever is going on, all of this spreading hate toward both sides has to end now. The more they continue, the more worse it will get. |
