In the effort to be "fair and balanced" and provide equal web bandwidth, I submit the following counterexample of potential righto (his political affiliations were not described) wackiness (else be potentially labeled as being a one sided hack )
Salivating over Fonda

Police: Man Arrested For Spitting On Jane Fonda
Fonda Declines To Press Charges

KANSAS CITY, Mo. --
Police said they arrested a man for spitting on Academy Award-winning actress Jane Fonda during a book-signing stop in Kansas City Tuesday night.
Fonda, 67, spoke at Unity Temple on The Plaza about her new book, "My Life So Far," and her new movie with Jennifer Lopez called "Monster-In-Law."
At about 9 p.m., police said a man who had been waiting in line for about 90 minutes, passed a book to Fonda and then spit a large amount of tobacco juice into her face.
The man then ran away and was taken into custody by off-duty officers, who were providing security for the event.
Michael A. Smith, 54, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, which is a city charge.
Fonda declined to prosecute the man. The actress, who flew to Minneapolis Wednesday for another appearance on the book tour she began April 5, issued a statement through Jynne Martin of Random House, which published her book.
"In spite of the incident, my experience in Kansas City was wonderful and I thank all the warm and supportive people, including so many veterans, who came to welcome me last night," Fonda said.
In 1972, Fonda was photographed sitting in a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft tank. About her involvement in the Vietnam War, Fonda has apologized for her anti-aircraft tank photo. She has called it an incredible lapse in judgment.

Well, here's the rub. Which would you rather be hit in the face by, tobacco juice, or a pie?
Both of them stain, is my understanding, so...
In my case, I'd rather have the pie. Guess that makes me a rightist-type victim, leftist-type perpetrator.
Then again, it also depends on the pie... I'd wager cream pie might not hurt as much as, say, pecan pie. And it might not burn as much as say, hot chicken pot pie...
