Let's try a few alternate takes: If only he had better aim with Michelle Obama, or Nancy Pelosi, or Hillary Clinton, or even Barack Obama, Himself.

Think CBS News would be wishing for a success assault?

[DManA]

Bet that writer would have wet himself if Trigg had gotten hit.

The vitriolic hate of liberals is infuriating. They demand compassion from Conservatives but don't do it themselves. I'd ask from them name one, just one, liberal group feeding the hungry or housing and clothing the homeless and poor (that is not including the guv’mint) ....

[My Favorite Headache]

Ahh yes another b.s. hit piece from CBS. How many CSI shows do they air now because they have run out of ideas? 5? One city for each day of the week?

Their news division is a joke. An absolute joke.

[hoe_cake]

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

[GI Joe Fan]

CBS can burn in hell for stories like this.

[PLD]

What pathetic bastards...Even though they are number 0 in the ratings they are still idiots..What normal adult would praise anything like this..I wonder what their brats at home are like if the parents are this way..they probably run the house..

It'll be very interesting to see who this thug really is:

Commander Stehlik said that there were still questions about why he had an alternate ID and that depending on where the investigation leads there might be more charges.

Gawker:

Who is the Hero Who Threw Tomatoes at Sarah Palin?

[stylin_geek]

I checked the Minneapolis Star-Tribune for this story.

Had it been Al Gore, front page.

Nary a mention that I could find.

[madison10]

That was one guardian angel directed tomato. LOL Changed the whole complexity of the story when it hit the cop.

[WOBBLY BOB]

Germy throws like an Obama .

[ohioWfan]

How long are these cretins going to get away with this shameless verbal assault on Sarah Palin with no consequences?

Is there not ONE person remaining in the LSM with a conscience?

[Marty62]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...CBS supports throwing tomatoes at DS BABIES?

[a fool in paradise]

Tomatoes are known to make a splash.

I loathe the Pravda Media, especially the Viacommies at SeeBS.

[FrankR]

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.

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.

Comparative alternate:

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

[Diogenesis]

CBS ENCOURAGES ATTACK ON GOV. PALIN and Baby Trig !!!!!!

“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.”

Photo: Sarah Palin holding son Trig at Dec. 7, book signing in Minn.

As they were attacked by the CBS encouraged halfwit.

[jlaughlin]

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.

[hoosiermama]

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! ;~)
