Men Nail Conservative Ann Coulter With Pies

TUCSON, Ariz. -- It appears they didn't like what conservative columnist Ann Coulter had to say.

Two men ran on stage and threw custard pies at Coulter as she was giving a speech at the University of Arizona Thursday night. Coulter was hit in the shoulder. The men were arrested by university police.

In her half-hour speech, Coulter trashed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, liberals and Democrats, while praising conservative students who attended her speech.

Coulter writes a column for Universal Press Syndicate. Her appearance was sponsored by the UA College Republicans

Here's the video

heh. Reminds of what some Iowans did to another bitch in another era.

They're not heros, they're morons. I'm a conservative and even I would feel bad if this happened to Al Franken or Michael Moore. I wouldn't be suprised if these two guys were given stiff punishments.

Shoot, had it have been me, I wouldn't have missed.

This type of behavior is wrong no matter what your political beliefs.

While I agree that this was wrong and the 2 guys should have been bigger men and should have handled their "issues" with her in a different and more appropriate manner...rather than assulring her...it's still kind of funny...I mean it's a pie! They obviously had no intention of causing her serious harm, just embarassment.

I remember when our Prime Minister, Jean Chretien was hit in the face witha pie...even he could laugh it off.

Yea stiff punishments for a pie!

Anyway I just saw the video and I thought her reaction was priceless man, the way she went running off the stage = roofles.

Not the best way to go about things but it sure gave me quite the laugh.

Okay, it's silly.

But this sort of thing happens all the time, especially in the public eye. It's a P-I-E. About 8 years ago, SF Mayor Willie Brown was pelted with pies by a group. I don't think they got "stiff punishments," even though he was an actual elected official.

It was hilarious.

It was highly illiberal, and shows a tremendous disrespect for the fundamental principles which formed the ideological concensus of this nation's founding.

So much for a free and dispassionate discourse of ideas.

Who was it that was pelted with cream puffs? I can't seem to remember.

She looks too skinny, but she sure can run fast.

I think Bill Gates was pelted with a pie also a few years ago.

Get over it, Annie! It comes with the territory - and look at all the free pub!

Throwing things at someone can be battery and that is a punishable offense. Stupid ass way to make your point if you want to be taken seriously at all. They just hurt their position I think.

And I would have run off the stage too. Yes it was just a pie-we know that now. But I am sure in the heat of the moment she wasn't sure what they hell was going on. How does she know it didn't have acid or some other chemical in it.
