1. The deal is it's too bad it wasn't an anvil instead.

4. I wanted some details

3. Being a man, you'd think she'd like pie now and then.

5. She's an arrogant bully with absolutely no compassion

like most of those right-wing-nuts. There have been times I saw her on TV that I wished I could jump into the TV and sucker-punch her.

6. Tucson had MMoore at the Community Center, and "for balance"

On another night, Coulter showed (and apparently sold out the house) and was pied twice....(custard) It wasn't a direct hit though they got her on the shoulder.

a DUwag said "make the pie higher"

8. What did she call Democratic Convention delegates - ugly fat "pie-wagons?"

So to hurl pies at Coulter sounds like poetic justice to me.

Here is more on it from a TV station's site:

But outside, protestors showed that not everyone welcomed Coulter's visit, and at least two even made it inside.
As Coulter addressed a question about terrorism, she stopped mid-statement: "You take away the terrorism and liberals would hate…” at that Coulter gasped as she looked to her left, and began backing away from the podium.  Two men ran by, on-stage, and each threw a pie a her.  They were mobbed as they tried to exit the auditorium.
"Could the Marines please find them?” Coulter asked aloud, speaking of some of the men in the audience.
U of A police arrested the two men, one who was a student.  Police said the men had tickets to get in, and hid the pies in a black attaché case.  As if possible police charges weren't enough for the two suspects, the background scrim will have to be cleaned, possibly even replaced, and that could cost anywhere from three to four thousand dollars.
"We're looking into all the charges that could apply.  We have assault, criminal damage to the screen and floor and all the manhours it will take to clean it.  We'll follow through that way,” said UAPD Sgt. Keith Brittain.
"You gotta start travelling with a bodyguard.  It's a crazy time and liberals are out of their minds and look, someone can harm you and it does make me think maybe I should start travelling with somebody,” Coulter said.

You have to admit, those guys have guts to do that in such a partisan nazi crowd. I admire their spunk, tho it might be better spent getting out voters these last days. And looks like they will have to pay for damages - does it really cost several thousands of dollars to clean up a couple of pies? C'mon.....
