I think it might be good for some people to get a pie in the face though. It might make them think a little. People get pissed about **** and it's hard to make some people understand that sometimes.

Imran, he's right.

The left is made of intelligent people who are disgusted by the whackos on their side, and end up not voting. The right is made entirely of ignorant cretins who love to listen to the Coulters and Limbaughs

Point 1 - The left is in decline (for now at least as I believe in cyclical yet ever leftward socialization occurrs. ).

Point 2 - Symptomatic implies A reason not THE reason for decline.

Ned, why do you believe such drivel? How can you believe it when somebody "flamboyant" paints about 50 millions Americans with a broad brush, especially when you know how biased she is?

Is the unemployed who gets some aid at GePap's office in NY an intellectual who engage in battle of wits? Is the average balck man a member of the intelligentsia? Is the unionized worker a caviar-champagne elitist?

Ned, it's sad to watch your intellect getting wasted on prejudice. Painting people with a broad brush, without having a base for it, is the first step to bigotry


Come on, Spiff, I couldn't resist poking some fun at the left.

Besides, I simply asked why the Dems are throwing pies. Not one single Dem has really answered that question yet. There has been a lot of "divert your attention" type of responses though.

Spiff, even though you are not an American, can't you see that there is a "small" problem with conservative speakers being routinely targeted for assault, and prosecutors doing nothing about it?

Fair enough I feared that you were really believing her words. Since you often paint your political opponents with a charicatural brush, I don't really know when you're trolling and when you're serious

I think the response they would all agree about is "because we have our dumbasses, too"

I think there is a problem whenever parts of the society take upon themselves (in a vigilante fashion) to stamp out free speech, whether conservative or liberal. It's bad, regardless of which side it comes from.

I may be more prone to see a problem when society exrts pressure than the average American, because the American ideology focuses on the fear of the State, which means that there is no room anymore in the "bad" department for societal pressures. Besides, I'm strongly against all forms of vigilantism, which is why I think the pie-throwers should have been punished proportionally to their assault by justice, and that's why I hope the vigilantes who broke these dumbasses' bones will be punished in a much harsher fashion. Not because they're rightwing dumbasses as opposed to leftwing dumbasses, but because they are violent and caused much more serious damage

The right is said to get its news from conservative talk radio, etc., because the major media (AP, NYTimes, Broadcast News) is all leftist, biased and hostile to facts that would help Bush and the conservatives.

I haven't noticed. 'Course, I get all my news from the all the intarwebs and webternets out there, so.

In any case, I approve of accept you being completely in lockstep with the current Republican opinion that has the greatest mindshare: that you're beset and beseiged on all sides by a vast liberal conspiracy.

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.

Really? I saw nothing of the kind as the Dems controlled Congress almost continuously from 1933 until 1995. During that time, the right responded with such pie throwers as William F. Buckley, Jr.

On the other hand, I've never heard the phrase "cold blood" ever attached to a pieing. I have heard, however, of "Cold Blood Pie".
