The "tolerant". "Shoot a Welfare Mom 4 Christ" the sign says. Do you think he could be mocking Christians. Noooooo, that would never happen. /sarcasm

Two arrested for hurling pies at columnist 10/22/2004, 6:04 a.m. ET The Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — 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 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.
"Two men ran onstage and threw custard pies at conservative columnist Ann Coulter"
Members of the party of peace and tolerance I would imagine.
Well, guess she really deserved those pies in the face, huh, Associated Presstitutes?
"hitting her in the shoulder"
They can't even hit the target. What wussies.
Article from the campus newspaper: Coulter avoids pie in face

A little more detail:
Two and a half hours later than expected, the crowds at Centennial Hall finally heard from the woman they had been waiting to see on Thursday night.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to bring to the state Ann Coulter,” Pete Seat, state chair of the Arizona College Republicans introduced the nationally-known conservative author.
About 2400 people gathered to hear Coulter defend President Bush and bash the Democrats. And she delivered.
"The Democrats have no actual policy proposals of their own unless constant carping counts as a policy,” Coulter said.
But outside, protestors showed that not everyone welcomed Coulter's visit, and at least two even made it inside.
As Coulter addressed a question about terrorism, she stopped mid-statement: "You take away the terrorism and liberals would hate…” at that Coulter gasped as she looked to her left, and began backing away from the podium. Two men ran by, on-stage, and each threw a pie a her. They were mobbed as they tried to exit the auditorium.
"Could the Marines please find them?” Coulter asked aloud, speaking of some of the men in the audience.
U of A police arrested the two men, one who was a student. Police said the men had tickets to get in, and hid the pies in a black attaché case. As if possible police charges weren't enough for the two suspects, the background scrim will have to be cleaned, possibly even replaced, and that could cost anywhere from three to four thousand dollars.
"We're looking into all the charges that could apply. We have assault, criminal damage to the screen and floor and all the manhours it will take to clean it. We'll follow through that way,” said UAPD Sgt. Keith Brittain.
"You gotta start travelling with a bodyguard. It's a crazy time and liberals are out of their minds and look, someone can harm you and it does make me think maybe I should start travelling with somebody,” Coulter said.
Although neither pie directly hit Coulter, it’s a serious consideration for someone voicing strong opinions at a heated time.

Oops, sorry about the formatting.
I'll travel with you, Ann!
Ah, yes, leftist paragons of freedom of speech.
Proud government school graduates, no doubt.
You know...maybe the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy needs to start making a list of candidates for "Guest of Honor" at an Operation Phoenix reenactment...
Why not? Aren't arrest reports still public record? Or these really punka$$ union thugs operating under the orders of Kerry's field commander Bob 'Big Pussy' Beckel? This once again demonstrates that liberalism is truly a severe mental disorder.
It's very obvious who does and does not believe in free speech.
The yellow sign says "Iraqi Babies are Good for Eatin"
Whacked out.
So true. They have the Internet for one thing. It's not hard to find the truth if you are looking for it no matter what you hear in the classroom.
TWO men vs one slender Anne?
and they missed?
GIRLIE MEN!!
