Headline at CBS News:

Sarah Palin Almost Gets Tomato in Face, but Jeremy Olsen Has Terrible Aim

Lede:

NEW YORK (CBS) Maybe Jeremy Olson should have practiced with a target first before attempting to pelt Sarah Palin with tomatoes at a book signing in Minn. Dec. 7.

The above was written at the CBS News page CRIMESIDER: The True Crime Destination From the Producers of 48 Hours Mystery

The article was posted by Carlin DeGuerin Miller.

OK...let's see...hummmmmmmmm...

Next big Tea Party we have in Washington, everyone bring a dozen tomatoes...it will help the farmers and the economy.

I'm not advocating anything, just wondering how the capitol building would look with a few thousand tomato stains on it. If they ask you why you have tomatoes, tell them "It's my lunch!".

That tomato thrown at Palin could have easily been some other object, including a bomb.

Time to fight fire, with fire. The left needs to understand that we are not going to tolerate these frat boy pranks at the detriment of our leaders.

The left likes to implement "zero tolerance" to control their interests, so it's about time we did that too. If their is one thing the left detests, it's having their own tactices used against them...because their arsenal is so limited, they run out of options.

Its hard to believe that this demented mentality is currently running the country.

I checked the Minneapolis Star-Tribune for this story

...I found the story of her visit, and read some of the comments. Chained in the basement, frothing at the mouth crazy.

I read someplace that this guy has “no fixed address.” In other words, your typical government hand out supprted leftist loon. I’m sure right now there are at least a dozen lawyers volunteering to take his case, and the loony left is probably already planning a fundraiser to support their new found hero. Just goes to show just how low the left really is when their heroer consist of either a loon with a shoe or a loon with a tomato.

Sheesh! Don’t read the comments over at that link!

Fanatical right-wing mysogynist attempts physical assault of Secretary Clinton. Security heroically intervenes.

The articles from CBS news and Gawker are despicable. Praising this idiot for attempting to assault a female? Showing remorse for him missing? I say we rally outside the Minnesota courthouse and pelt Jeremy Olsen with vegetables just to see how he likes it.

And by ‘vegetables,’ I mean used diapers.

Hitting a LEO...How is he going to prove that he wasn’t aiming for them....Assulting an officer...Send him to the big house! All Tomatoes should be banned: be made illegal! ;~)

CBS News Wishes Tomato Thrower Had Hit Sarah Palin in Face

All things considered it is an improvement on the CBS superimposed SNIPERS WANTED over an image of Bush delivering his acceptance speech at the Republican convention

[rogue yam]

people are despicable. Will we ever see payback for all this animosity toward us and our like?

When Jesus returns. Not before.

There is a reason why the Book says what it says.

[mojitojoe]

Nothing surprises me anymore. I stay disgusted all the time.

[HapaxLegamenon]

Maybe if Barack had better aim he would have more than just two kids.

[jurroppi1]

The posters over there are nuts! Peas in a pod with the OP.

[DustyMoment]

See BS - still irrelevant after all these years!!

[NativeNewYorker]

Manhattan elites are on robo-hate mode for Sarah. It’s really something.

[NTHockey]

CBS? What’s that, anothet alphabet agency the government snuck in on us?

If that is a TV network, I stopped watching years ago. IF I watch any TV, it is The Military Channel, The History (but not the Hysterical) Channel, Fox News (selectively), a few old movies and hockey games.

Palin is signing books tonight here in Colorado Springs. Hopefully the winter snow storm will be over by then. My guess is she'll be given a warm welcome by the Springs residents without tomatoes flying around. She has a lot of supporters here.

If he gets charged with assaulting a police officer Jeremy Olson will be in deep trouble. A hefty fine and some jail time would be good punishment for his juvenile antics.

"... at least one officer on stage with Palin certainly got a face-full of Olson’s "opinions" and now he faces charges of 5th degree assault on a police officer and disorderly conduct, according to Commander Stehlik."
