I’m gonna have to side with **Ivylass** and **millroyj** (damn you all!!!)

We should fight her with better arguments and we should shout her down. But throwing things at her, beit pies or tomatoes or whatever, is stepping across the line. I don’t think we should cheer this kind of thing.

At least Ms. Coulter can rest easy knowing the perps were taken into custardy.

Next you know, she’ll be telling us that all those boys boys really need is a good whipping.

I feel you on this, I really do. I’m generally in favor of taking the high ground and not giving the idiots on the other side more ammunition, and she is entitled to her free speech…

But damn is it still fantastic. 😃

Because if anybody is deserving of it…in fact, if anybody REQUIRES it (because I mean, c’mon, PIES! With charges as ridiculous as she makes, almost all you can do is counter with something equally ridiculous)…it’s her.

I don’t know. Throwing BRICKS at her might be over the line, but not pies and tomatoes. Food is definitely in bounds when dealing with a jester. And truth be told, I’m not positive about the bricks. Ideally, someone would throw one at her, then I could watch it on video and weigh in on whether it’s excessive or not.

Perhaps it would be more subtle just to flick boogers on her.

Just sayin’.

I’ll fight ignorance with my last breath, but I draw the line at fighting whatnot. 😉

I know, I know, violence, even “soft” violence is no way to answer a fool like Coulter.

But damn! Didn’'t it do your heart good? 😃

Boooooooooooooooo. Forget the pies, where’s those tomatos when you need them?

hey, let’s admit it–it’s just plain fun to see somebody get a pie in the face.  
Especially if its somebody rich and famous.  
But nobody can say so out loud. Instead, we arrest the throwers. (and for good reason)

So I propose a new rule: Do it like an old-fashioned duel.

1. Run up on stage in the middle of the speech, holding 2 pies on a tray and an apron or beach-wear style wrap.
2. Salute your victim formally, and announce that you challenge him to a pie-duel
3. Be chivalrous, and assist the victim in putting on his apron and allow him to choose his “weapon”

4.) Stand back to back, walk 20 paces, turn around and heave  
Result: pie in the face , and a good time is had by all

Yep, that’s right.

**Ivylass** , I’m not a fan of Michael Moore’s, so let’s say, Jon Stewart. And absolutely. Pie throwing is funny!

Throwing a bottle at someone: not funny.

Throwing a pie at someone: funny.

Hitting someone with a baseball bat: not funny.

Hitting someone with a rubber chicken: funny.

Me getting gay-bashed: not funny.

Me getting gay-bashed by The Chipmunks: funny.

That’s an unfair comparison. Because if Michael Moore ever found himself on a stage with two men carrying pies, those two men would be lucky to escape with their lives.

I must concer that pie in face = funny.

This begs a deep question: Why? What is it about the pie that gives us such a chuckle when we see it mashed into the visage of an unsuspecting victim? A tin full of polenta al pesto would probably be no less messy, but would we laugh? I think not.

Since I believe in frankness. Don’t view if you don’t want TMI.

A pearl necklace, if I have this correctly, is the act of pulling one’s cock out just before ejaculating during oral sex, so that you ejaculate on the person’s neck and/or breasts.
