		<description>I pretty sure that, early in his political career, Obama was given a fundraising dinner by those two activist. I wonder what was served for dessert at the event?</description>

		<description>Just like &#039;em to run away as quickly as possible.  The kid with the backpack looked like he wanted to give Friedman a limp-wristed slap after throwing the pie.</description>

		<description>Okay, maybe it&#039;s just me, but for once, just once, I&#039;d like to see a speaker who sees this coming, and then &lt;em&gt;lunges at the pie throwing jerks and just full-force body tackles them&lt;/em&gt;. Or perhaps body slam, pile-drive or just knock them off the stage. Then maybe, just maybe, we won&#039;t see incidents like this again.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;If anybody ever tries that to me I hope I have enough warning to run straight at the bastard and punch him in the face.

FloatingRock on April 23, 2008 at 10:59 PM
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

My first thought exactly.

&lt;blockquote&gt;It’s a freakin’ pie. It can’t be that easy to conceal if colleges are checking the people who come in. Really, this has gone on long enough.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yup. My second thought - how&#039;d they get these in, and sitting in the front nobody saw them? 

Some speaker sometime needs to hold the university accountable, not only for damages to clothing, etc., but for such reprehensible lack of security. Don&#039;t forget - these universities are &quot;gun-free zones&quot;, so it could easily be much more serious than a pie.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know or even care about Tom Friedman, but this is ridiculous. There is no excuse for colleges allowing this to continue any further.

No one seemed to care when it happened to Coulter, because she&#039;s &quot;mean&quot;, but this demeans a college&#039;s reputation, or at least it should.</description>

		<description>As Dr Thomas Sowell has pointed out(or was it Walter E Williams?),  if you rank all the industrialized countries of the world from richest to poorest you also get the free-est trade to the most restrictive trade.

If someone buys something cheaper overseas it frees up that money for other things.  We have a net gain of jobs in the past 20 years, not a loss.

Demand quality from the Chinese, demand security from all but don&#039;t stop free exchange of goods and services.  Thats liberty and its &lt;strong&gt;supposed &lt;/strong&gt;to be what we are all about.</description>

profitsbeard is right.  This is dangerous stuff.  This time it is a pie, but when you&#039;re on the stage and the lights are bright in your face, you can&#039;t tell what is happening exactly.  You are at a disadvantage all around because you are concentrating on your speech, and the lights, etc.

Someday, some idiot is going to take to the stage with more than a pie in his hand.  Actually, it has happened before--ask &lt;em&gt;the late &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4KROpdUkrM&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Inejiro Asanuma&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t have much like for Friedman (I would&#039;ve shrugged it off and given the speech with pie all over my shirt if I had to), but this teaches us precisely what liberals are taught &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; to acquire in life:

Respect or decency.</description>

Way off topic but when you mentioned obvious and ridiculous I recalled &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3A33w-P0js&amp;feature=related&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Mr Obvious Show:&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Friedman is a genius - at marketing the obvious, and the ridiculous, as some sort of insight.  The fact that he can make $1 as a lecturer is a devastating indictment of the level of discourse today.  He wouldn&#039;t get a word in edgewise at a discussion where my friends and I were considering serious topics.  

Haven&#039;t read his sophomoric stuff in years, but one of my last favorites was his line that all the Arab world wanted was &quot;a smaller Israel&quot;.  He&#039;s the definition of Beltway lightweight.</description>

		<description>Frankly, I think this is a case of racism - pure and simple.  He is Jewish, so whatever he is saying must be wrong.

That black kid with the &quot;kill that Bush&quot; video is more of a statement about the derangement of the left than about SOME black Americans.</description>

		<description>His speech (YEARS AGO) in support of war in Iraq, about &quot;Religion 3.0&quot; etc., was brilliant.  Since then he has been pushed back hard, and cowed.  Notice how he quit the stage.

A real man would have taken his shirt off and done his speech bare chested.  Man-boobies and all.

I don&#039;t know what warrants his being pied.  He&#039;s switched to global economy and alternative fuel analysis.  He is mostly correct, but not to the lefties.

I am not sure the wacko leftos know WHO they are supposed to hate anymore.  I expect Cindy Sheehan to get pied eventually.</description>

		<description>The two pie throwers should be caned and dismissed from Brown. If the provocateurs are determined not to be students at Brown, they should be caned again.  

Meanwhile, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn wonder why the podium wasn&#039;t bombed.....</description>
