TUCSON, Ariz. - Two men ran onstage and threw custard pies at conservative columnist Ann Coulter as she was giving a speech at the University of Arizona, hitting her in the shoulder, police said.

University police arrested the men but did not release their identities.

In her half-hour speech Thursday night, Coulter trashed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) and derided liberals and Democrats while saluting conservative students who attended her speech.

Coulter writes a column for Universal Press Syndicate. Her appearance was sponsored by the UA College Republicans.

1. Thowing a pie at her is an action that I unconditionally condone

[prolesunited]

2. LOL!

Where's the pics? I would be happy to help post bail. Wouldn't you?

[Tuttle]

3. Need photos n/t

Tut-tut

[napi21]

4. That was great. I only wish they would have hit that face!

[Demit]

11. me too. I imagine she'll get a book out of it anyway, though.

5. She should be glad they were only pies.

Because when the Repubs go after our folks, they use bullets and malfunctioning airplanes. And they succeed.

[speedoo]

6. That's terrible.

No pies deserve that kind of treatment.

7. WOO HOO!

I like that form of protest. Nobody gets hurt, and the point is made. Point being that Ann "the man" Coulter is a PIE HEAD!

hahahahahahahahaha.

10. The message is that

she should SHUT her piehole.

8. I'm sorry...

but that's absolutely hilarious!!! Good for them! Unfortunately, Coulter feeds off of hate both from within and around her. She's a self-described polemicist. Come to think of it, she and Alan Keyes should become roomies at the insane asylum...it's the only humane thing to do in order to give them happiness for the rest of their miserable lives.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

9. LOL, I was hoping it was Novacula, but Ann is even better

:)

[librechik]

19. my feeling EXACTLY!!!

[tanyev]

12. OMG!

I have wanted to do that for ages. Not only does it make a point, but the woman really needs a few more calories.:evilgrin:

Plus, the retribution for her "pie-wagon" comment. Perfect.

13. Ann looks a dude with a bad wig-she is a pig

[David__77]

14. Ah, that old-time method of political protest.

Anita Bryant got one on TV. I believe Willie Brown got one.

[Alpharetta]

15. A pie? That's exactly what her make-up artist was going to use next

But there's really no hope for that ghoulish face.

16. Throwing pies at politicians is a wonderful dem tradition.

I can only hope, for sake of "visuals", it was chocolate pie in Ann's case. Make her nose and face brown like it's supposed to be.

Another "dick", in this case "dickette", made irrelavant.

17. Ed Koch got hit with a pie once when he was NYC mayor

I forget what the perp was charged with, but Koch passed a law to make the penalty against "attacks on public figures" stronger.

18. They just wanted her to eat something!!!

Anorexic Annie...

[leetrisck]

20. Now she can go on all those liberal

shows and tell them how awful they are

[RamboLiberal]

21. Damn - they needed to aim better

Wish they'd have gotten right in the face! Pictures, I want pictures!

If they have a defense fund - I'm contributing!
