Incidentally, I'm having a hard time caring about Ann Coulter's plight, especially in light of:

-The continuing issues in Iraq.
-The tsunami aftereffects in Southeast Asia.
-A new, conservative and in all likelihood, transitional pope.
-Her racially charged remarks about Mineta.
-Being hungry because I was late and skipped lunch.

Salivating over Fonda

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

POSTED: 8:19 am CDT April 20, 2005
UPDATED: 1:23 pm CDT April 20, 2005

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...

I honestly can't blame you. Outside of maybe a rare decent gag every few episodes (like that Tetris one...), there's not much left. I don't watch it either, so I'm not quite sure where I picked up both Tomacco and Rageohol... since I haven't seen the episodes those were in.

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.

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.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

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.

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.
