Why are Democrats throwing pies at opponents?

Perhaps, but I thought the left was aligned with and supportive of al Qa'ida.

You're serious too.

Ann Coulter was in genuine fear. I have seen the video where she ran off the stage.

But, I hardly consider a physical attack of any kind to be "non-violent."

But, another point. There is no evidence that the people doing this were "venting anger." The only evidence is that they attacked conservative speakers and Nader with pies that were effective both in humiliating the speaker (as Che contends) and shutting them up. One can rightly conclude that the reason for the attack was to do just this. Further, the planning involved in getting pies into the auditoria indicates planning and cold blood.

I don't know why they throw the pies at people. I was just saying that I would like to throw a pie at someone, and it wouldn't be to shut them up. It would just be to laugh at them.

What, my answer about the idiots perhaps thinking it might be a funny political statement didn't pass custard?

Q, just try to imagine how you would feel if someone were charging you in a public speaking forum?

So you're saying my answer to your OP question wasn't good enough? Or was your reply more in line with what I said about different kinds of fears?

Or are you referring to both?

...I will admit though, that the pun was weak. It didn't really pass muster. Or mustard, for that matter.

Yeah, the man was a commie upset at her changing her position on supporting the NV war effort against her own country.

I seem to remember a guy upset at Clinton sprwying the White House with bullets. Another guy crashed his Cesna into the White House. Another got arrested with a gun trying to gain enternce to the WH.

The GOP staged a fake protest to shut down the recounting of ballots in Florida in 2000. Conservative talk show hosts frequently shout down or cut the mic to liberal guests. You will be arrested if you try to protest Bush in Bush's presence; the Secret Service routinely detains and removes anti-Bush protestors from parade routes. At rallies, only pro-Bush people are allowed in.

Sorry Ned, there's one side genuinely interested in shutting down debate, and that's your side.

Sure, sure, Che. Flying planes into the White house is a plan of the Republican party and not the act of a lunatic. Protesting an illegal recount is a way of shutting off "speech."

You really need to try harder, Che.

Memory fails. Was it politically motivated? Hinkley shot Reagan afterall for the unrequited love of a woman (who ironically doesn't like men reportedly)

I thought that was a heart attack or something.

During Clintons reign I take it. Must have been the dry cleaner getting stiffed for not getting paid for cleaning up Monica's dresses.

How does one stage a "fake" protest? Either people are there and protesting or they are not. And if they are there, are they not entitled the right of association and the right to demonstrate.

Apples and oranges thats not a free forum and you know it.

Duh its called the Rush Limbaugh show or Sean hannity show not the callers show, it comes with the territory.

Heck celebs or for that matter anyone going on any show know the dangers. Reminds me of the Simpsons episode wher Mr. Burns went on shock jock radio and was parsed and misquoted to make him look like a pervert.

Its called threat assessment. In light of 9/11 and marked increased domestic tensions its no wonder the SS are stepping up security. I also don't think this is new news for any president.

I remember one thread on that topic but for the life me don't recall the details. It was an invite only thing if memory serves.

If you think the Democratic Party or even leftists in general are aligned with Al Qaeda then you have lost all touch with reality, Ned.

Ned, Ned, Ned, you still haven't answered my questions!

If someone was charging me in a public forum with a pie, odds are I'd prepare to defend myself. :shrugs:

So I've answered two of yours, and you still haven't answered two of mine. Maybe more. In this thread alone! Even.

The way they requested it done in England was impressive. Free Speech Zones, a la Bush.

He means the guests specifically invited by Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. I've heard Sean do that to his guests several times when he's not busy having callers patting him on the back.

Thank God. We need the entertainment around here.

No I was pretty sure she liked box lunches (not that theres anything wrong with that ) and her kid was via sperm donor.
