[zbdent]

20. count me OUT ...

this was not a good thing ...

Insults are one thing ... physical altercations? NOPE ...

[Iowa]

29. Fortunately the founders of our nation didn't agree with you.

[zbdent]

49. give me a f*cking break ...

this was a book signing ... are you saying that someone can assault Al Franken? That would be in the same vein ...

[RamboLiberal]

4. I want to laugh

But sorry this is still totally wrong. We'd be outraged is someone threw tomatoes at Hillary or Obama.

[Pirate Smile]

7. True.

[BOSSHOG]

9. Roger that Rambo

Its such a shame that palin and her ilk make some people want to stoop to the level of "Patriots" but its wrong.

11. The long history of throwing tomatoes at politicians

[shadowknows69]

14. +1

[waterscalm]

22. I agree, it was wrong.

[HughMoran]

23. ...but Hillary and Obama are 1) real politicians and 2) human beings

She should be pelted with fruits as she is one.

[Psephos]

41. Deny that a person is a human being, and then you can do whatever you want to them. n/t

[HughMoran]

52. She's an "ugly fruit"

...& I'm being silly :silly:

[sellitman]

27. Agreed.

Wrong is wrong.

Besides...it's a waste of good food.

[edwardian]

50. Wrong is wrong?

What world do you live in? The Right is wrong and the rest have to fight to prove our point.

[sakabatou]

39. Agreed

[edwardian]

48. I would laugh.

Tomato throwing is a time honored tradition in European political culture. It says "You SUCK!" like nothimg else, except maybe a shoe.

[FreakinDJ]

5. Give that man a Medal

[Journeyman]

21. I suspect he'll receive his Metal soon. . .

[shanti]

43. ahahahaha!

those were my first thoughts also! GMTA :hi:

[bbinacan]

8. This act

is just plain stupid.

[Arctic Dave]

10. This a stupid thing to do. She is irrelevant, why give her publicity.

[shadowknows69]

15. Hell, she probably hired him to do it. Hasn't been on TV in days.

[Warren Stupidity]

25. better to sit tight and do nothing.

The corporate media knows best when it comes to framing reality for us.

[livetohike]

12. So not everyone is enamored with Palin then?

Wouldn't know it by all the coverage she gets.

[Quantess]

30. Who knows, maybe the guy is WILDLY enamored with Sarah Palin,

and he had no idea how to make her notice him...

[livetohike]

58. A tomato in the face would do it for me

:-)

[KamaAina]

Our own version of the Iraqi shoe-thrower!

:rofl:

[shadowknows69]

13. Hey, that used to be a socially acceptable form of protest.

Ask bad vaudville comedians and politicians before there were TV pundits.

[HopeHoops]

16. But were they liberal tomatoes or fascist Republican tomatoes?

Only the compost pile knows for sure.

[RavensChick]

17. Damn.

I don't know whether to laugh or be upset.

If it was a live turkey, however, THAT would be a news story worth seeing.

[tanyev]

18. If he'd hit her, she'd be a rogue going rouge.

[zbdent]

19. that's just crass ...

and no, I'm not talking about insulting the tomatoes ...

things like this make us look bad ... don't you think that the "liberal media" will make this reflect ALL of the "left"?

[Quantess]

32. Someone should look into whether the guy is a liberal,

or whether he's a crazed, love-struck stalker who shares her political leanings.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

38. Palin Pomodoro !

No matter how you doctor it, it's just not appetizing.

[name not needed]

24. That's just awful

He should have been throwing dogshit.

[AlphaCentauri]

26. ad some onions and that will be a crying salsa all week for rw radio n/t

Man Arrested For Throwing Tomato At Sarah Palin
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (WCCO) ―

Bloomington Police say a man threw a tomato at former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin during her Monday appearance at the Mall of America, but didn't hit her

Officers say two of their own were hit by tomato fragments instead, after the tomato hit the stage about 10 feet from Palin. People on the second level balcony, where the tomato was thrown from, helped police apprehend the man accused of throwing it.

Police identified him as Jeremiah Wobbe from St. Paul. They said he was arrested and could face assault and disorderly conduct charges. Officers added that they found two more tomatoes he'd been carrying.

Palin was at the mall signing copies of her book, "Going Rogue," for four hours Monday. She did not address the crowd, but did speak individually to owners of the books she signed.

34. So it was

a three tomato hit? I wonder if they were beefsteaks or romas? :)

36. I will contribute to any fund to aid in his defense. n/t

[NanceGreggs]

37. This whole story makes me laugh ...

... for obvious as well as subtle reasons.

But this line, "Officers added that they found two more tomatoes he'd been carrying," has me :rofl:

"This was obviously not a hit-and-run, one-volley tomato-thrower," said another officer on the scene. "He was armed and apparently ready to splatter without remorse."

40. Jeremy Olsen....

....I'm extremely disappointed in you....to throw two tomatos at a former repug VP candidate and miss, is totally unforgivable....

[Deja Q]

42. Well, it was a waste of a good tomato. Now I'm hungry for something tomato...

Maybe I'll drink a bottle of ketchup...

:shrug:

[New Dawn]

44. Excellent.

:toast:

[Doctor_J]

45. Shoulda waved a gun. That's legal, at least at Obama rallies

thanks for the link to fox "news" :eyes:

[Tabasco_Dave]

46. Rotten eggs would be better n/t

[John Kerry VonErich]

47. It is wrong, yes.

But on the other hand, judging by recent events and decisions, maybe it's time to start using "push", which progressives sometimes desperately need.

[Politicub]

51. Love the Shakespearean overtones n/t

[MissMillie]

53. Not a fan of this kind of behavior

Makes her look like a victim.

Besides we do much better when SHE makes HERSELF look like an idiot... which she does with great regularity.

When we resort to this type of action, we look like we're on the low road, and it gives her the opportunity to claim the high road.

In the end, she'll do way more damage to herself than we could ever do.

[dugaresa]

54. her publisher probably paid him to do it in order to boost sales

I personally think that the best thing to do is ignore her.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

55. Here we go again...

Who made the rules saying Democrats must be always nice!!!?!?!?!

[4_TN_TITANS]

56. My youngest daughter will be pissed

at this mindless waste of tomatoes (her all-time favorite veggie).

68. Yeah, the evil liberal media is so evil! And liberal! But that's redundant, innit?

:eyes:

[EstimatedProphet]

70. He doesn't need to. You just did for him

And accused him of doing it.

Beat it, troll.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

71. Whoa, this one was nuked so hard you won't even be able to find a link to his profile.

Only the name remains: "PA Coug".

So long, fuckwad.

[yurbud]

57. that could interrupt her from putting her foot in her mouth.

She doesn't need to be pelted--she's self-immolating.

[Love Bug]

59. I'm officially offended!

But still laughing my ass off.

Since he didn't actually hit her, I hope he gets off for his act of political protest. The Twins should sign him up, too, because throwing anything from the 2nd level balcony is quite a distance. But then again, he did miss, so maybe not.

[bikebloke]

60. Was he charged with tomato abuse?

Those poor, poor tomatoes desecrated on Moose Bunny.

76. I have few doubts...

"Liberals throw like a girl..."

I have few doubts that you posses firsthand knowledge of that little bit of subjective trivia-- maybe a crisp, white jersey never dirtied due to being benched-- possibly the boyhood dream of playing never realized and that lack of accomplishment finally projected onto those who disagree with you on a political level during your 'adult' years.


(which makes about as much sense as your little fit of petulance...)

You are just too clever for us.

[Kingofalldems]

78. Hmmm, you seem familiar

How many times is it now?

[ima_sinnic]

80. you're still here? it appears the mods think you're kinda cute, too

we get to keep it for a while

[Kingofalldems]

82. I think he has been here many times before

Likes to show everyone how clever he is. He's actually just a punk.

[fascisthunter]

81. too bad you aren't around to see how I throw

I'm a liberal

[DebbieCDC]

74. Doesn't come close to the mooseshit she's be throwing at everyone

But it's a start.

[yellowcanine]

84. He couldn't afford shoes or what?
