Great--loons everywhere--even at The Mall.

Hope he has fun in jail.

Must have been a Franken supporter.

Man arrested for throwing tomatoes at Sarah Palin?

Where they red communist tomatoes, green liberal tomatoes, or tomatillos from Mexico? Considering Palin's birther ideology it makes all the difference.

She should change the title to 'Going Roma.'

Neither tomato came close hitting the former 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee

"A man was arrested for allegedly throwing two tomatoes at Sarah Palin"

The only thing he should've been arrested for was for only bringing two.

"An obviously limp-wristed Obama supporter?"

Nah...Huckabee.

Nah...Huckabee.

I heard he used to pitch for the Cubs.

"She's (Palin) a lot more relatable...."

"Wearing her (Palin) trademark red...."

You lost me.

My excuse is that it's late, I'm still at work, getting nothing done, and in desperate need of a drink. haha!

It was a joke, LoD, and not a very good one at that. I was referring to the retarded guy they just executed in Tejas.

Ah. lol

Sorry you had to explain it, like I said, I'm a little slow right now. (well, more slow than usual)

"Huckabee? You really think he'd have trouble throwing away a perfectly good vegetable?"

Republicans love vegetables-see Reagan and Schiavo.

Too bad he missed. For one reason, she deserves it. But more importantly, it would make her even more popular with Republicans. All together, a win-win.

What scum you are. What a literal piece of human garbage.

A tomato? How boring. It would have been more fitting if he had thrown a newspaper at her. Since she reads all of them she could tell the audience all of the headlines without having to look at it.

Prolly shoulda linked to the original Politico story this guy got the story from.

Sorry, WCCO link not Politico.

Be Well.

Obama doesn't have to worry about people throwing stuff at her.

Palin does because she is SUCH AN ASS! If I had a couple tomatoes I would be launching them at her also.
We got to work on this guys aim!

Jail time for that? I seriously doubt it!

When Moose Mama comes to town let 1000 tomatoes fly!!

As I said when the shoe thrower happened, throwing stuff at politicians is offensive. They live under the constant threat that some kook will take a shot at them. I hope they make an example of this clown.

Sure you would, you compassonate ass.

Attack of the killer tomatoes.

Why does Sarah Palin deserve to be assaulted and/or battered? This ought to be interesting.

Oh man that shoe thrower was righteous Rcade. Bush had that coming to him. It could have been a bullet but a shoe is much more interesting and fun!

As far as tomatoes isn't that a time honored tradition?! Seems I have heard of that on more than one occasion in the past.

If Moose Mama cannot dare to face the righteous contempt of the masses then perhaps she should not appear in malls and at bookstores? Let her carefully script out where she appears like Cheney did.

Oh no never mind I guess we can't have that! It might project an image of a leadership and that would not be mavericky enough!

Give the bottle back to Sarvis, Monstman. You've proven you can't handle it this early in the morning, lush.

Because, much like you she's a buffoon.

Shouldn't you be in court?

Get serious. Throwing anything at a politician just raises the ante, and before you know it, some other goofball is taking it a step further with her or another politician. I agree with RCADE and Spud - this isn't funny or acceptable, no matter how much one dislikes Palin.

Here's hoping they were picked by illegal immigrants.
According to Sarah, "when God gives you tomatoes, make
tomato juice".

Can someone hit Bachmann with a thrown watermelon?

The guy must have not been able to afford a new set
of shoes.

These events never make it on TV. Its only thanks to Michael Moore that I know lotsa eggs and tomatoes were rightly thrown at Shrub's Limo after SCOTUS stole the election for him. Democracy my ass. We live in a inverted totalitarian society. In a totalitarian society like communism or facism, politics dictates economics. In an inverted totalitarian society economics (Corporate commerce) dictates politics.

No one should discount Palin. After Reagan failed thrice at the Presidency, Casey and BushI made a deal with Iran to trade missiles for hostages and have Iran hold them until after the election was over. Any 1st grader understands unelected bureaucrats planning to undermine a freely elected President to be treason of the highest order. But that's what happened and nobody did shit about it. There is an agreement between the two parties to never say or do anything which undermines the credibility of the system. We are permitted to chose our personality preference, but have absolutely no influence on policy unless we take to the streets in mass, like in the sixties. Even then it was a long drawn out battle.

Throwing tomatoes is assault, chairborne?

Only if they hit. : )

Alex,
Pie throwing is also considered assault.
Personally I don't buy in to that, and think it's more prankish, and if charges needed to be pressed it should be something like "disturbing the peace", but that's just my 2 cents.

Typical linp-wristed lefty tries to assault a woman from a distance. That pussy lib should have grown a set and tried to take a swing at her. I bet Palin could have kicked his ass.

Hey just think if these tomatoes had some toxic substances injected into them and they hit their mark. It's always possible.

Larry

What a useless piece of shit.

Or Banana Cream Pies!

Dude are you trying to get a dump or are you just not caffeinated enough to see that those werds could be construed as "inciting violence" towards a politican.

Not cool.

Insight? Yes

Incite? No.

K?

Be Well.

Honestly, though... why use tomatoes?

Put some eggs on your engine for a few hours, then toss toss those. Yummy.

It could have been a bullet but a shoe is much more interesting and fun!

I don't think it's fun at all. Even minor acts of violence against political leaders are wrong and should be prosecuted with an eye towards discouraging other people from trying it.

I grew up in Dallas. Both my parents were lining the motorcade route the day Kennedy was shot. I don't think any violence against politicians should be laughed off.

Tom cruise has a lot of restraint with this guy:

They didn't happen to be wearing red raincoats or opening and closing a brawley, did they?

Boy I hope this story makes the front page! This is some hard hitting stuff!

I remember the movie..."Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"

No excuse for tossing ANYTHING at anyone for their political views. After all, some of them MIGHT send fast bits of lead back. Not limp-wristed liberals, of course, but most conservatives COULD send it back at 1000+fps.

Glad they are taking him in for his assault on the police officer. Maybe a little time with "Bruno Buttcheeks" in jail will help.

-----------

Why a .45? Because they don't make a .46...

The guy/gal that hit Ahnold with the egg was really tempting fate.

I'd like to see the thrower (regardless of whom they're attacking) catch a severe and prolonged ass beating.

It would be like the jackass at Kerry speech that wanted to make a spectacle of himself and then became notorious for "Don't taze me bro".

typical leftists radical approach.........

one of these days..If I could just be there once when some asshole piece of shit like this does something like this

just once.......

ah but enough of the he man macho bullshit.......

Man, Rein sure does hate women. Oh, that's right, he's a poofter. Nevermind.

I think a pie to the face isn't even in the same league as JFK getting shot.

I didn't say that it was. But we live in a world in which violence against political leaders is a very real possibility. Because of that, it makes acts like throwing a tomato, pie or shoe at a politician more serious.

But really? Assault?

It is assault. Perhaps you need to look up the definition.

Joe,
I believe he was claiming they need to hit the target to be assault. Whether or not that is true, I do not know.
Maybe reckless endangerment?

Look up the difference between assault and battery.

You do not need to hit the target for it to be assault. Assault is defined as an act which creates a reasonable apprehension of an unwanted touching (a battery).

Guy must be well-heeled.

Tomatoes at our local store are going for $1.99 to $3.99 a pound now.

Eggs would have been a better choice.

nice job biggie....'keepin it real'........

I thought it was supposed to be ROTTEN tomatoes you threw at people anyway.......

So the lefty misses Palin and hits a cop. Typical puss arm Lib.

Republicans love vegetables-see Reagan and Schiavo.

Throwing tomatos at Sarah Palin only serves to draw more attention to her and possibly garner some sympathy. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that she, or someone on her staff hired the guy to throw the tomatos at her. It gets her back in the headlines again.

Yeah. There's no way a liberal would be stupid and crazy enough to throw shit at Sarah Palin. That never happens.

If Truck or Tranny or Throw-outbearing or whatever shows up with an "o" carved into his face, we'll know where it came from. Tiger has been stealing SARAH!!'s limelight, so you never know. She's already ramped up the media coverage with her birther idiocy after Tiger took the front page away from her.

Personally, I think he should have just brought an automatic weapon and stared at her. Would have had the Drudge righties lining up to kiss his Second Amendment loving ass.

True--doing something like that automatically revokes your liberal lable. Liberals are for Free Speech--no matter how stupid. Liberals are for freedom---free to own as many guns as you like whatever caliber you like, tanks, aircraft carriers, fighter jets, and nuclear weapons. Conservatives seek to infringe on the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms---free to make decisions concerning your own body. The guy who threw the tomato was either mentally unbalanced, or a conservative who was upset with the way Palin was damaging his party's credibility. Not much difference between the two, but he was definitley not adhering to liberal concepts.

Watching you Liberals obsess over her for how many months on this site, I've come to the conclusion that Bob is still nuts.

From the LA Times:

Obama's new Gallup Poll job approval number is 47%. Last month it was 53%.

Regular Ticket readers will recall how in this space in late November we pointed out that Obama's closely watched job approval slide was coinciding with Palin's little-noticed rise in favorability. And it appeared they might cross somewhere in the 40s.

Well, ex-Sen. Obama, meet ex-Gov. Palin.

The new CNN/Opinion Research Poll shows Palin now at 46% favorable, just one point below her fellow basketball fan.

The Chosen one just 'ain't what he used to be.....

Too Funny

Watching a nutcase like yourself think that liberals laughing at Palin is "obsessing" make me sure that my evaluation of you as a nutcase is quite accurate. Liberals can only hope that Palin is the the conservative candidate. Your evaluation that liberals are somehow "worried" about her candidacy shows the true imbalance in your mental capabilities. That would explain your support for Bush--TWICE---and your continued hope for more of the same. Palin is a bigger joke than you are--but only slightly.

Sure, Bob. It's just laughing. I hope you get a big box of reality for Xmas.

There is no way throwing a pie or a soft tomato is an assault.

I was standing Next to Steven Conliff at the opening ceremonies for the Ohio State Fair in 1977 when he threw a banana cream pie at the Guv James Rhodes, the butcher of Kent State.

The highway patrol threw him down and the local prosecutor for Franklin County charged him with assault. He took it to trial and the jury found not guilty.

There is no good reason a jury would sympathize with a crazy Yippie! But to find guilty you have to prove there was INTENT TO HARM, or ACTUAL HARM SUFFERED or both.

The purpose of this kind of theatre is to embarrass not harm. That kinda was the whole point behind the American Pie Kill Union. We were sick of the political assassinations like JFK, RFK and MLK.

A good 'pie kill' (or tomato) makes the political point and you move on. You have fun and avoid the messy consequences.

What if 'the hit' is not on a politician. What if you do a pie kill on Rushbo or Ann Coulter? Is that a crime?

I understand your comments about JFK in Dallas and it is well taken RCADE. Since it is coming from you I respect your opinion and will take it to heart.

To condemn throwing a rotten tomato at a politician is going against well established political tradition in America! Surely you cant be serious to state every time a clown throws a pie that is going to be an assault?

#82

Palin was not hit by the flying tomatoes, which instead hit two police officers standing near the former governor. Olson was arrested on charges of suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct.

They say reading is fundamental......

That must be why I don't reply to you fundamentalists.

Sure, Bob. It's just laughing. I hope you get a big box of reality for Xmas.

Respect and maturity are saved for those that exhibit the same qualities and also practice honesty and integrity. She does neither.
