A leftist kook attacked Sarah Palin tonight.

A crazed liberal threw a tomato at Sarah Palin tonight at her Mall of America book signing. The tomato hit a police officer in the face instead. He was arrested.
FOX News reported:
A man was arrested for allegedly throwing two tomatoes at Sarah Palin from the second floor balcony during a book signing event at the Mall of America in Minnesota, MyFoxTwinCities.com. reported.
Neither tomato came close hitting the former 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, but did hit a police officer in the face, the station reported.
The unidentified man may face charges for assaulting a police officer, according to the station.
Die-hard supporters treated the event like another Black Friday, lining up outside in freezing weather before the mall doors opened at 5 a.m.

TwinCities.com has more:
Jeremy Paul Olson, who Bloomington police identified as “a local man with no permanent address” and whose age was not immediately released, threw a tomato toward Palin from a second floor rotunda about 2 p.m.
The tomato missed Palin by about 10 feet — and instead splattered a Bloomington police commander in charge of the security detail, in the eye. Another officer was also struck by the pulpy shrapnel.

if i were the cop i’d shoot the libtard in the face till my clip was empty.

may? may face charges?

star Monroe commented:
I am glad the guy was arrested. He was probably jealous of Palin, like many Liberals are. Palin is a very intelligent lady, I did read the book. Palin could very well be the new REAL hope for America, not like the fake one sitting in office now.

He should have thrown her the whole pizza.
wanumba commented:
Ann Coulter was right! Libs can’t throw!
Hilarious.
Eagle's Dominion commented:
Two bits to a donuts says he gets off scott free!!
Peter Warner commented:
Thank Goodness no one was seriously injured.
I trust the security detail for Palin takes this VERY seriously, and will respond accordingly. She should be getting all the protection that the POTUS gets.
For those attending her events, enjoy the experience, but PLEASE be alert and prepared to engage any threat that might emerge. Don’t relax.
Best regards, Peter Warner.

Oh so the caught Chrissie Mathews in disguise did they. Im sure Olberman was there too then. Check him for veggies Of course Olby probably smashed his in his pockets so he shouldnt be hard to find. I say the more rabid the haters become the better chance Sarah has. I know she could have kicked the guys a$$
Patrick Carroll commented:
What this really means is there’s currently no organized resistance.
So, enjoy the moment. But, as the man said “Si vis pacem, para bellum.”
So, be prepared.

I once heard there wasn’t anything in Mn but football players and hookers. Must have been a hooker who threw the tomatos. Everything i’ve seen from there lately is fruits and nuts. Once a nice place for a hunting trip, now I wouldn’t spend a dime there for anything.

I was THERE!
I did not see the actual throwing but talked to one of the security guys after it happened.
Sarah Palin is MORE IMPRESSIVE in person! The Democrats can continue to ridicule her at their own peril! Keep it up Democrats!
People will see how UNHINGED you guys really are!
GO SARAH!!!!!!!!
Kenny Solomon commented:
Too bad Mrs. Palin didn’t have the .50 cal. that The NRA wanted to give her. That would have been a perfect response.
Don’t bring a tomato to a gun fight.
In case you don’t know about it, here’s the lil’ darlin’ they made for her – she didn’t accept it (sad)……. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/05/04/2009-05-04_aww_shoot_nra_makes_palin_top_gun.html
dr dbunk RE:Squishy Face commented:
He’s obviously another “squishy faced” liberal manifesting classic PDS symptoms.
Luckily he has the Hidden Imam’s throwing arm…another classic liberal trait.
Mike Myers commented:
Do you know just how hard the average grocery store tomato is in December–in Minnesota?
Son of a gun threw it from the second story–he may as well have thrown a baseball sized rock.
He durn well better face charges.
Kathy from Kansas commented:
Judging from the mug shot, this guy has the creepy eyes and very high forehead that are seen at disproportionate rates among psychopathic killers. I’m glad I don’t live in Minnesota.

Liberals has gone mad.
Poopsicle commented:
But cold blooded murder (Dr. Tiller) is such a heroic thing.
Hankmeister commented:
When I see someone “throwing like a girl” the first question that comes to my mind is … is this poor soul a liberal.
As red-blooded Americans all know, liberalism is not only a religion it’s also a mental disease. And apparently its a disease that can affect ones throwing mechanics.
Hey, not all bad throwers are liberals, but all liberal metrosexual males throw like girls. Supreme Leader Obamessiah is a case in point. Couldn’t even reach homeplate though Albert Pujols tried to cover for him at the 2009 All Star pre-game ceremonies. I’m still wondering when Major League Baseball will give Mr. Obama a Cy Young Award for his All Star pitching performance. After all, the man got a Nobel Peace Prize FOR DOING NOTHING! Heh!

With all the corruption going on in DC, it is nice to see stories of poetic justice such as this.

Hankmeister commented:
Yes, Tiller was a heroic man for murdering late term babies in utero. Let me use pro-abortionists own argument: I don’t agree with the methods used to eliminate this pondscum posing as humanity (a 25,000 mph meteorite to the head or 65 mph Mac truck encounter would have been preferable), but Tiller wasn’t exactly the picture of innocence. At least the man who killed this man had honest convictions, as misguided as they were.
Unfortunately for liberals, the murder of Tillman doesn’t remove the blood stain of nearly 50 million unborn Americans that will forever be on the hands of American liberals … FOREVER!
This holocaust against innocent humanity ranks right up there with the 250 million innocent souls who perished at the hands of left-wing secular socialists/collectivists in less than 100 years during the 20th Century … which kinda makes the Catholic Church and their inquistions look like Boy Scouts by comparison.
I don’t include the Crusades (which still are a drop in the blood bucket compared to left-wing seculars of the 20th Century) because they were clearly defensive wars against the ever rapacious Muslims who sought to subjugate the entire European continent. If the Crusaders hadn’t done what they did in stopping Muslim military incursions into southern Europe, all of Europe would have eventually become Muslim hellholes starting in 1100 AD or thereabout.
Now, what little freedoms the socialist Euroweenies have today is a direct result of those Crusades having stopped the Muslim hordes. Unfortunately Europe hasn’t learned the lessons of Lady Liberty very well and the braindead liberal socialists seem more than willing to see their continent become an Eurabia replete with sharia law, honor killings and probably more than a few infidel beheadings as they blindly receive the kisses of the “religion of peace” in the holy name of “religious tolerance”. Of course Islam promises to behave itself even after it becomes the majoritarian religion of a breeding population that creates nearly seven Islamic fundamentalist children per Muslim couple. Compare that to less than 1.9 children per Eurocouple. Chilling.
Yes, it will be interesting to watch traditional European cultures wilt within our lifetimes, all in the name of accomodating a lethal political ideology disguised as a religion. Pathetic. If current trends continue, Europeans will yearn for the days under the Nazi regime if they actually expect any kind of tolerance and respect as infidels under the rule of their Islamofascist overlords. The day is coming unless Western Civilization revives itself, but that will be difficult since liberals are also trying to undermine Western culture and values. Liberals and Islamofascists, strange bedfellows indeed.
jas commented:
Were this in California and the tomato hit Palin, the guy would probably get off. Assaulting an officer, he’s lucky he didn’t get shot.
truthseeker commented:
Check for ACORN or SEIU connections. Probably was being paid per tomato.
My son and daugher-in-law attended a book signing in Washington State. They said she was very impressive in person. She took the time to talk to them about the economic conditions of small business ownership and the lack of support from the present Administration. Her remarks to them were very encouraging. They told her to run for President. She just smiled back.
Eric commented:
A couple of things:
Was it a cherry tomato?
Wanna bet tomatos aren’t added to the list of no-fly items?
Wanna further bet they won’t be available on the buffet table at the next state dinner Obama holds?
Wouldn’t be funny to send tomatos to Democrats?
Conservative Girl commented:
I went to her signing outside of DC on Saturday. We had some protesters (well, four) with some signs about her not being Trig’s mother and quitter. No tomatoes though.

jainphx commented:
Poopsickle, one big difference with us on the right and you wack jobs, we don’t condone what happened to Tiller. You on the other hand take great pride in violence if it’s against a person on the right.
That big brave idiot that threw a pie at Ann Coulter, and then picked his butt off the floor when the conservative decked him. Yeah he wanted off for the pie, but felt the conservative should be jailed. Typical of you lefty wackos, throw tomato’s at women, big brave scum that you are.
jainphx commented:
Typical of the leftist morons that claim free speech is their right, but only for them. Sheriff Joe was shouted down and not allowed to speak by those freedom of speech advocates.
The thing that really gets me is that you either can’t see the hypocrisy of it all, or you just don’t care.

punishment should be, televised tomatoing….thrown by roger clemens

Here in MN, it’s 20 degrees and dropping – somewhere around 5 degrees tomorrow, I hear. I’m guessing Mr. No Permanent Address needed a warm jail cell for a few days.
MVH commented:
This week, NBC is promoting a Law & Order episode where a white, middle-aged, conservative talkshow host’s [Gee I wonder who they might be referring to...Rush Limbaugh, perhaps?] rehtoric drives a young listener to commit a serioius crime, probably murder. The teasers don’t say.
And yet, this wacko’s attack on Sarah Palin, and SEIU thug beatings, and other intimidation incidents have come from the Left. And the Right is more dangerous? Mmm-Ka-ay

Most likely a homeless fellow with some mental or addiction issues. Hey, it’s getting cold up there and the streets are mean. Probably looking for 3 hots and a cot for a while.
Wish granted.
archer52 commented:
“Most likely a homeless fellow with some mental or addiction issues.”
Gee, a democrat?! Probably on his way to his new job at the White House, in charge of security and media relations.
We’ll see if he’s a crazy nut, or a leftie (which by default means a crazy nut with an agenda). Either way, great security by the cops, if a man with a tomato can hit them from an unprotected upper level. That goodness he didn’t have a real weapon.
Scotty Starnes commented:
WTF is up with liberal loons and their love of throwing fruit and vegetables? Don’t they know they could feed so many out of work libtards with all this fruit and vegetables they throw at private citizens. They do this when they can’t debate with facts and logic. Liberal/Progressives have no heart…they hate working people!

Give it a day, there’ll be conspiracy theories: there had to be a second fruiter. (Note that the accused has three names.)
Highlander commented:
Tomatoes aside, I have thought for some time that there may be a real threat to Palin. I fear for her more than any other current political figure.
Tammy commented:
I wonder if this guy is the son of Sara Jane Olson, the terrorist from Minnesota?
I was at the Palin signing.
Cool event.
Sarah and Todd were gracious and warm.
Glad I didn’t see Tomato man, or I would have knocked him to the ground myself.
kerry commented:
Though the Mall of America is a ‘Gun Free-fire Zone’ it’s a ‘Tomato Free Zone’. And a good thing that is, though why this fellow wasn’t dropped by pecks of returning VF resistant, hothouse grown Better Boys, one cannot imagine. (I did not go to MOA because of their disarm the law-abiding policy. One can usually ignore the signs, but on this occasion there would have been searches and metal detectors. Will the local, worthless Star Tribune now announce an anti-tomato policy, or call for fast-ball training?)
Militant Conservative commented:
I don’t go to VICTIM RICH zones either.
Johnny Utah commented:
tomatoes become rocks become knives become guns?
Sarah needs good security always- there are whackos out there who would like to see her hurt
fantasizing about hurting people sometimes leads to actually trying to hurt people
Franklin commented:
Drat, wish I had been there. Would have thrown my shoe at the fruit-thrower!
Dale commented:
Another left-wing hater. No doubt an unstable person who was spurred on by Obermann. Leftist commentators are at fault – hold them all accountable.
Ginger commented:
Someone there should keep up with what they charge him with and his back ground! You know the media won’t. Let us know what happened! You know his intentions was to harm Sarah! He must be punished.

first eggs, than tomatoes. It is escalating. where are the GOP elites on this?

Maybe he should try competing with John “effing” kerry, who throws a football like my 5 year old niece.

Liberals may cheat, lie and steal elections however they are basically pacifistic and leave the dirty work up to union thugs.
This guy has RONPAUL!!! mobster anarchist written all over him.

He looks like atypical metrosexual eyebrow plucker.
barbara commented:
Was he wearing mom jeans?
Sequoia commented:
It sounds so funny and light hearted when a troll throws a tomato at Sarah. I’m sure this will get alot of those well timed “guffaws” on the a.m. News-O-tainment shows. You know the yucks-yucks I’m tallking about, where Ann Curry reads the story, noticably supressing a smile, while the camera guy and Matt Lauer’s “fluffer” laugh off stage. I’ll bet this is EXACTLY the way this is played-up.
Reality: This IS political violence. I’m pretty sure SanFranNan isn’t going to get all weepy talking about it though.
P.S. Thanks for the weather update from the left-coast.
Texpatriate commented:
Y’all need to chill. Flinging produce at politicians has been part of American life since colonial times. The uncertainty over the charges, I suspect, revolve around whether the cop wants to get up in court, point to this little ponce, and complain that he was assaulted. A good thrashing on the way to central booking should just about cover this incident.
Besides, he missed by 10 feet, thus cementing his left-wing credentials.
Americaneocon commented:
American Power tracked-back with, ‘Leftists Democratic Underground, Gawker Hail Tomato Attack on Sarah Palin at ‘Going Rogue’ Book Signing’.

Ha-hah!
Insetad of getting his 15 minutes of fame, he’s probably charged with felony assualt of a police officer.
Nice!
Pawn commented:
For those who think this guy is not to be taken seriously, where do you get a tomato at a mall?

You forgot to include the first pitch that Obama threw at the All Star Game here in St. Louis.

If he were a real man, he would do business with Todd Palin (a real man, for sure) – not with his wife.

So has tarring and feathering, and rail-rides out of town. So, what’s your point?
But Sarah Palin is not, just now, a politician, is she? Not serving, not a candidate… she’s a private citizen and author.

By all means go and contribute to his legal defense. God knows you’re not contributing anything here.

Hysterical. Assaulting a cop. In most states that’s a felony with mandatory time ranging from 1 year to 10 years in jail.
They are just the jokes that keep on giving.

I guess it is time to start registering tomatoes as dangerous weapons. Who throws tomatoes at a woman anyhow? What a fruit…pun intended.

Seems like the Secret Service had better step up it’s game. He was able to launch an attack from a location that had a clear line of site and within arms throw of a former vice presidential candidate. How is that acceptable?
Cathy D. commented:
Come on , you republicans are such cry babies, so what a darn tomato go call fox news and cry your eyes out to Shawn Hannitity the biggest joke around. Wipe your wounds and move on!!!!
BigJ commented:
Cathy D., believe me…..if a Republican had thrown a tomato at a liberal, the MSM would have made a martyr out of the “victim” of the “tomato attack by the evil Republican”.
Cathy D. commented:
Hey Big J.
Thanks for the reply. I have something I would like to add to this.
It seems to me putting Sarah Palin on the top page of the news paper is hardly news, come on a tomato?
You know Big J. I don’t go to bed at night without saying a prayer and asking God to protect our troops and hope that the blood shed will stop. I don’t think a tomato and Sarah Palin are on the top of my list right now!! But it certainly is with you and the rest of you republicans. This fighting back and forth with both parties is BS and it would be wonderful if both and I said both would work together and bring our soldiers home. I know how very hard it is for you to see or admit that we have a President who truely loves his country and wants peace. Is it so much the hatred that we all must fight among ourselves because we call ourselves a Democrat or a Republican? When are we all going to WAKE UP Big J. and come together and be as one and make this country as it should be?
Every day on the news we watch as these other countries and their leaders are so brutal and inhumane, war to them is nothing blood shed to them is nothing. Well look at us? we all fight against each other but yet we call ourselves an American!! We have a damn war going on and our heartfelt soldiers are their fighting and dieing believing in their hearts that their country holds true to them with their cause. Not the case Big J., we sit back here with a warm bed to sleep in, clean water to drink, and were not dodging bullits or coming back in a body bag. But yet to make us feel better we say they died with honor for their country. But yet we forget about them and want the top story to be about a damn tomato and Sarah Palin.
With Christmas coming soon and the true reason for the season, the newborn King was born, “Jesus” why don’t we all stop what we are doing and say a prayer for peace. And say a prayer for our brave men and women that we want them safe and protected each and every minute. And that our President with all of our help can bring them home. Lets be the United States and come together for them put aside our childish behavior and become UNITED!!!!
Have a Merry Christmas Big J, and I pray that you have a Blessed New Year!
Cathy D. commented:
I wanted to add one more thing….
Everyone knows how prayer can move mountains. God listens to all of us, he has never closed the door on us like we have him.
Wouldn’t it be great if everyone, I mean everyone would go completely silient for 5 minutes and ask God for help to bring peace and our troops home?
How many of you are willing to put the negitive behind you for a few minutes and do this? Can you only imagine if the whole world could do this at the same time and just flood Heaven with prayers for world peace, so that no other soldier has to die? Man the impact would be miraculous!!! At 9:00 pm tonight I will do just that, I hope many of you will do just the same, exspecially the fellow that said the cop should of unloaded his gun in his face, on this blog. I feel sorry for that guy, that was a threat and he is a threat. We need to stop fighting and ask God for help.
My prayer is for the soldiers tonight and world peace.
