Commentator and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan cut short an appearance after an opponent of his conservative views doused him with salad dressing.
"Stop the bigotry!" the demonstrator shouted as he hurled the liquid Thursday night during the program at Western Michigan University. The incident came just two days after another noted conservative, William Kristol, was struck by a pie during an appearance at a college in Indiana.

"He could have faced a felony assault charge, but Pat Buchanan decided to not press that charge," university spokesman Matt Kurz said.

Well if you're going to hurl salad dressing at someone.......
I think we should hear from both sides on this important issue before passing any new laws either prohibiting or requiring it. ;-)
Why the hell not?
These low IQ libs need to be put in stocks in the public square and let the town's people throw rotten eggs at his head. This crap's got to stop. Diversity of thought only works one way with these low life dingbats.
Looks like we need some food-control legislation here.
Buchanan must be losing his sharpness. He was assaulted by a disruptive demonstrator at a campaign appearance back in 1992, and he ended up laying quite a beating on the guy.
You could put someone's eye out with a poppy seed or a crouton!

Perhaps we should even pass legislation on this issue. It will be called, the TV Pundits Bill. ;)
Party of Tolerance and Diversity (c) Ping!
Hate crime! Hate crime! Stupid liberals.
LOL.!! Too Funny.
Use a Frog, Go to Jail. Oui,Oui.
Who is Pat Buchanan?
Two bad decisions on Buchanan's part. He should not have cut it short. In doing so he conceded a round to a liberal, which should never be done. He could have made some short comment about the immaturity of some opponents, and continued on, with the salad dressing serving as a continuous reminder of the fact. Second, he should have pressed charges. Immaturity and foolishness are not actionable offenses. But any time a liberal's actions become illegal, he needs to face charges in court. Most of them never will grasp the idea of responsibility, but punishment may possibly improve the behavior of some of them.

Big mistake. Especially since this was witnessed by a large audience. Stupid stupid stupid.
William Kristol must've had more class than Buchanan then.
The liberals have run out of the few arguments they have had justifying their actions. Personal attacks, the ace-in-the-hole they've always relied upon, backfires when tried anymore. Their latest recourse is to toss food. Next, they'll wet their diapers.
Instead of asking who Pat is, and since you are sitting at a computer, why don't you do a search and find out all the information you can (and then some). I'm sure his complete bio is available somewhere. That should answer your unnecessary question.
Or was information not the reason for the question?
Grench??? Was it Kosher?
