Coulter was hit in the shoulder. The men were arrested by university police. Perhaps a bit pointless, seeing as it lead to their arrest, but I still applaud them. ---

:eek: I am shocked and horrified that you people, on a website based on fighting ignorance and whatnot, would seek to glorify such an egregious waste of perfectly good pies. They couldn’t find some rotten fruit or eggs? ---

I just saw a video of the attack. For someone who writes so often about America kicking ass, taking names, and converting the heathens to Christianity, she sure ran from the pies like a big ol’ fraidy-cat. Guess it’s easy to be macho when all you do is write fringe columns that even the National Review thought were too wacky. ---

> [@Ravenman](#): > > . For someone who writes so often about America kicking ass, taking names, and converting the heathens to Christianity, she sure ran from the pies like a big ol’ fraidy-cat. Yes, because one’s first instinct upon seeing two men rush up to you is to sit back and laugh. So, Ann Coulter does not have the right to give a speech without being attacked? And if some “right-wing nut jobs” rushed a stage to throw pies at Michael Moore, you would be as equally amused? They were punks and I’m glad they got arrested. ---

Seems that [Ralph Nader,](http://www.ftwr.net/archives/000189.html) [Bill Gates,](http://www.c2000.com/fun/gatespie.htm) [Jeffrey Skilling,](http://www.videoactivism.org/enron.html) [Frank Loy,](http://www.sovereignty.net/p/clim/hague1100/henry-5.html) and [Jean Chretien](http://www.hermit.cc/oddends/jc/piebrain.htm) all managed to muster a little bit of courage in the face of protesters armed with desserts. I agree that the attackers deserve arrest, but surely I’m allowed to enjoy the fact that a world-class blowhard ran shrieking off stage after getting a little smudge of pie on her elbow. ---

> [@ivylass](#): > > And if some “right-wing nut jobs” rushed a stage to throw pies at Michael Moore, you would be as equally amused? Do you honestly think that Michael Moore is as far to the left as Coulter is to the right? I mean, sure, there’s lots of leftist wackjobs who are as comparatively nutty as she is, but he’s not one of them. Anyway, Michael Moore would probably scrape the pie off his face and eat it. ---
