If we want them to act like adults than we need to act like one too

Personally, I think its funny. I know its immature, childish, and a whole host of other adjectives. On a side note, it could have also been extremely dangerous for the Senator in someone getting that close. Although, it probably fulfilled some secret desire to hit a Senator in a face with a pie. Yes, I know there are better more mature ways to communicate but it is still funny.

there were a million ways she could have articulated. But I agree she hurt her cause with her immature actions.

I'm always amused by these anti-war types who resort to violence, even if the weapon is just a pie. Either way, she really didn't accomplish anything aside from making a fool of herself and potentially facing serious criminal charges for attacking a US Senator. In this day and age it just so much easier, and less problematic, to make a blog saying all the nasty things you want about our politicians. Blogs really get to a lot of people and are certainly more respected than some idiot throwing pies.

"She said she did it to show that democrats are just as responsible for the wars as the republicans." .....And pieing a guy in the facce acomplishes this...how?

I learned a long time ago that, the moment you resort to violence, you lose credibility. If this woman and her friends want to be taken seriously they need to stop acting like street thugs, have valid arguments and express them. Assaulting someone is never acceptable.

learning how to make political protests from unfunny slapstick is never a good idea.

The reality of it is if she hadn't pulled this stunt we would have never heard of her or what she had to say. It may have cast what she had to say in a negative light but if she had not have thrown the pie we wouldn't be talking about her right now.

I don't think "politics" has anything to do with this. Some people are just unstable. Of course, many words can be used - spoiled, immature, stupid, violent, unstable, etc. Personally, I think it's just selfishness. She made it about her and her anger and her attention and her need to physically harm someone to get her point across. Obviously it's the wrong approach to take. But these type of morons exist. I'd say at least 1 in 50 in the world act like this. That little Justin Beber (sp?) guy got smacked with a bottle at one of his concerts. Ouch! I've seen it happen to Kid Rock, Axl Rose, James Hetfield, and other on-stage performers too. And I remember in the NFL, I think it was in Denver, when fans started throwing D batteries at players! D! They're friggin' huge. And they threw snowballs at everyone in New York (Jersey) one year. And they're always throwing stuff onto the field at Fenway or Yankee Stadium in MLB. Yeah. Spoiled, selfish - just flat out "me, me, me" behavior that should result in jail, jail, jail. Throw the soap at Bubba--or Bubbette in this case--to escape shower sodomy. Then come out and see how much like you hitting people in the face with objects simply because you're mad at them. Idiots.
