Creamhadeen charge Coulter
Ann Coulter drives liberals into a berzerker rage by equating them to terrorists - they can't figure out why she would.
"Al Pieda" Targets Ann Coulter
So, guys, which did you hit - her or "her ideas"? I trust you'll have opportunities to explore the difference between the two starting... oh, about now.
"Al Pieda" Targets Ann Coulter
OCTOBER 22--Meet "Al Pieda" disciples Phillip Edgar Smith and William Zachary Wolff. The Tucson men, both 24, were arrested last night after throwing custard cream pies at author Ann Coulter during her speech at the University of Arizona. Portions of the pies connected with the conservative commentator's face and shoulder, according to this police report, which quotes Smith saying that he and Wolff were "throwing the pies at her ideas not at her." Cops also noted that a post-arrest search of the assailants turned up "pieces of paper (propaganda) involving Coulter's name and the explanation of 'Al Pieda.'" Smith, a UA student, and Wolff were charged with criminal damage, a felony, and misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct, vandalism, and assault without injury. The felony charge resulted from damage to a backdrop that school officials estimated at $3000.

I miss the good old days when people were brave enough to pie you face to face, like Bill Gates.
I wonder if the pie crust used real Crisco or if it was halal?
What do you have that's worth $3k? I'm curious to see if you'd mind if I destroyed it.
Tell me this, where in the US Constitution does it give the Federal Government the power to make anything other than treason a crime against the Federal State?
Well, since the express purpose of the Constitution is to spell out the powers that are to be granted to the federal government, I'll have to say "The entire document, and all amendments". The right and responsibility to print and coin currency is a federal one, for example; counterfeiting is therefore empowered to be a federal crime, which I note doesn't happen to be treason. However, since I clearly do not understand that difference, and I can only assume that your understanding of constitutional law is sublime in comparison to my own, perhaps you can explain to me what state's rights have to do with the felony criminal damage charge? You do know that "felony" isn't a synonym for 'federal", right?
All you seem to care about is that your precious Coulter was made sport of.
Then you've missed the point. What I care about is that any inclinations toward civil discourse are vanishing from the American left. She was not "made sport of" - she was charged by two guys who threw pies at her because they didn't like "her ideas". Throwing things at people is not "free speech", it's assault; but if the assault is aimed at anyone but a liberal, today's liberal typically thinks there's nothing wrong with it. I'm outright sickened by things Norman Mailer says, but I've never imagined that this confers to me any right to throw something at him. Not that the notion lacks appeal...

I see these two jackasses; I see protesters assaulting supporters; I see campaign signs and posters destroyed by anonymous cowards (and curiously, they're never Kerry/Edwards materials); I see voters intimidated by Democrat rallies at early vote polling places. Whenever I see people who seem to feel no obligation to accord their fellow citizens the most basic level of respect, they're liberals - the American left has gone from being a cohesive ideology to being a populist mob. There is a palpable sense that the left is entitled to stifle or suppress anything or anyone who disagrees with them, in whatever manner they see fit.
That's what I care about, Kreskin - that crap has to go.
Definition of Felony.
I didn't ask for the definition of a felony, I asked you to explain what the felony charge had to do with state's rights. Your indignant assertion was that this isn't a federal issue - that's correct, but I'm still not understanding where you ever got the idea that anyone thought that it was.
I guess "pie throwing" is now included.
If I'm to give you credit for being literate, you must be perfectly well aware that pie throwing is charged as misdemeanors, assault without injury and disorderly conduct, and that damaging $3,000 property is what constitutes a felony.
Felonies are supposed to be for serious crimes against person or property.
The reckless disregard of the pie-laden brownshirts brought damage to $3000 property - that is serious. The value of the property involved is a component of property crimes; stealing a car is a greater crime than shoplifting gum, and setting fire to your mailbox is a lesser crime than setting fire to your house. If you'd like to maintain that it isn't that serious, then I'll ask you again - what property do you own that's worth $3k? Would you honestly feel that the willful or reckless destruction of it warranted only a misdemeanor?
