Tomato Man: Another addition to the Unhinged mugshot collection
Last October, NYTimes columnist trembled in fear at the prospect of massive waves of violence by conservatives. He accused McCain-Palin supporters of being “gripped by insane rage.” His fellow fear-mongerer Frank Rich added that the Right was guilty of “Weimar-like rage” and the “violent escalation of rhetoric.” Since then, of course, the Left has been gripped by Palin-induced psychosis, SEIU-induced thuggery, and Tea Party-bashing gone wild.
Yesterday, a Palin-hater took literal aim at a book-signing at Minnesota’s Mall of America — hurling two tomatoes at the author from a second-floor balcony. He missed and hit a cop. The nutroots dregs are, predictably, cheering their new “hero” for the attempted assault.
Tomato Man is just one in a long line of unhinged, conservative-hating criminal thugs (and not the only left-wing nut with lousy aim). Adding his mugshot to the collection:
Unhinged: The Mugshot Collection

Nashville police arrested Andrew Thurman, left, and Frederick Stevenson in Septmeber 2004 and charged them with theft and unlawful weapons possession after they found guns and 71 Bush-Cheney signs in Thurman’s car.

Nathan Winkler of Tampa, Fla., was arrested and charged with aggravated stalking in March 2005 for allegedly terrorizing a mother who had a Bush-Cheney bumper sticker on her car. Click on the video here to listen to an excerpt of the mother’s frantic call to 911. Winkler reportedly had a handmade sign in his window that read, “Never forget Bush’s illegal oil war murdered thousands in Iraq.” (Credit: Tampa Police Department.)
Florida Democrat Barry Seltzer allegedly tried to run down congresswoman Katherine Harris with his Cadillac as she was campaigning in Sarasota, Fla., in October 2004. See the arrest report here. (Credit: Sarasota Police Department via The Smoking Gun.)

In March 2004, Carol Lang, a campus secretary at City College in New York, reportedly assaulted a police officer trying to arrest unruly anti-war protesters. Police arrested Lang and charged her with second-degree assault, disorderly conduct, and obstructing governmental administration. (Credit: New York Police Department.)
At the same protest at which Carol Lang was arrested, police arrested students Justin Rodriguez, left, and Nicholas Bergreen. They charged Rodriguez with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. They charged Bergreen with assaulting a police officer. (Credit: New York Police Department.)
Sowande Ajumoke Omokunde, son of congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-Milwaukee), was one of five paid Kerry campaign workers in Milwaukee who allegedly slashed the tires of 20 vans that had been rented by Wisconsin Republicans as part of their Election Day 2004 get-out-the-vote effort. (Credit: Milwaukee County Police.)
Michael Pratt, son of former Milwaukee mayor Marvin Pratt, is another alleged tire-slasher. (Credit: Milwaukee County Police.)
Three other alleged tire-slashers: Lewis Caldwell (top-left), Justin Howell (top-right), and Lavelle Mohammed (bottom). (Credit: Milwaukee County Police.)
In March 2004, Claremont McKenna College visiting professor of psychology Kerri Dunn falsely claimed she discovered anti-Semitic, anti-black, anti-woman graffiti spray-painted on her 1992 Honda Civic. Dunn was convicted of two felony counts of attemped insurance fraud and one misdemeanor count of filing a false police report. (Credit: Claremont Police Department.)

You are way too cute!
Okay,hunker down, because swede may be patroling here to report us to Mamma MM.
Maybe i can see throwin’ ‘maters at someone you don’t like, but what kind of doofus does this?!
We allowed these people to elect the leader of the free world?
cicerokid
Awesome dude!
I am fascinated by that recipe.
I am sure MM approves of us spending her dollars here.
Oh Oh!!! And THEN!! And then when all these scandals come out on Liberal CEOs & Politicians, because we either secretly taped their behavior, or paid people for the information, they will of course cry foul, at which time we can tell them that we got the bounty idea from one of their liberal organizations called “The Velvet Underground”, & that if they want it to stop, they should contact them & ask them to stop throwing stones from their glass houses..
waiting for Dan Lee to address cicerokid
Sorry, sorry, I was caught up in brainstorming on addressing the spoiled brat liberal problem in America.. Hi cicerokid!
Anybody remember Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground?
Salutations!
That could take the rest of your life and more!
Yeah, I better stop calling the activist group that huh? I might insult the band..
Rock on!
What should we listen to tonight?
PLATTER PARTY!!!
with any luck we can have some fun and swede won’t rat on us.
“The Star-Spangled Banner” would make good listening.
My daughter needed to know the meaning of “gleamed”. I made her sing the first stanza…
How much do you want to bet me that there’s a bunch of liberals somewhere that have already named their band, “The Dental Dams”.. Or if not, it will happen soon..
Anyone? I haven’t googled it yet, but I will stake money on it..
Oh Wow!! Not a band, but we have a winner! & I think she “may” know the tomato guy!
She calls herself a “Tomato Farmer”
http://www.myspace.com/dentaldam
please tell me
No, its not something a true lady should know really.. But there’s another thread here that talks about it..
The thread on Kodak..
I’d like to know that also.
This work needs annotation. Note to self: wash hands after fist-bump.
The thread on Kodak..
It is not active,Dan Lee.
Nor is anything else on Kodak. Much to my dismay.
The fish “gleamed” when the sun hit its’ scales.
“…what so proudly we hailed, at the twilight’s last gleaming.”
and the disgusting GLSEN thread, alchemy.
Its the front page story, but here’s the link if you really must know..
Just make sure you haven’t eaten in the last hour or so..
http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2009/12/fistgate-ii-high-school-students-given-fisting-kits-at-kevin-jennings-glsen-conference/
Yeah, well, I have instructed sorry asses cicerokid and zeroangel to get over here pronto and consolidate efforts.
That may not have been the best choice of words given the current discussion pure.. >:)
Hey! What did i say?!
Thamks, Dan Lee,
I’m sure you are right.
Would you take over, puhleeze, darling???
LOL
I just got up to get a soda before CO2 becomes a controlled substance.
So like.. We need to talk about tomatoes or something every so often to stay in thread compliance..
OMG!!!! Cicero! You’re a genius.. EVERY TIME I see a liberal drinking a carbonated beverage, I’m going to call them a whalebabysealpolarbearreefkrillfish murderer!!!!!!
Peel slowly and see??
Hang on, guys.
I’m trying to get the attention of the other nerdy pops figures here to meet up before swede goes crying to Mommy.
You!! You Sir with the Mowhawk & the pair of pink spandex pants! Put down that Pepsi damn it! Don’t you know you are killing Polar Bears & making chemical companies who produce carbonated water rich!
What kind of environmentalist liberal are you anyway!!!?? >:(
Dan Lee!
You are doing great!
Yeast may well be on their way to extinction.
The fastest tomato throw ever recorded by a human was… 103 Miles Per Hour..
pure, you thread hopper! Get back here!
Tomatoes were once thought to be aphrodisiacs. Maybe the guy was crushin’ on Saracuda.
Dudes, I am a total failure as a hostess because I could not rally the troops here on this evening to make worthwhile.
Tanks cicerokid and Dan Lee.
You guys are the bestest.
I am a flop.
So much for my hostess credentials.
See ya guys. I’m gonna ketchup on some sleep.
That is an interesting theory cicero!
Do you think perhaps he thought that by throwing the tomato, he was sending her some pheromonal type of message?
pure, are you insinuating that cicero & I are not sufficient company??
Night cicero! Ok pur, I’m beginning to I see your point.. hahaha
Compliance post:
Don’t let this happen to you..
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080391/
Pure you so miss the point. This is good stuff.
Nite all.
swede, I think she’s just teasing.. I know I am.. Night !
Even better link:
http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi179831065/
Dan Lee: I heard that about tomato thrower. No danger in anytime soon for me to be like that. Least of my worries.
swede: Good stuff?
Wait ’till I can stay up longer.
Platter party. Twister. Jiffy Pop.
Monkees.
Dan Lee, you are ten years younger than me.
Dream on!
Monkeys?? :0
…in Womyns Studies.
Do you think perhaps “Tomato Guy” could have been a party to “impaired tomato throwing”, known in Law Enforcement circles as an “ITT offense”? Or should we fall back on my theory that all liberal men throw worse than the daintiest of 3 year old girls?
I’m just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt here.. I mean to miss that bad & hit a police commander instead, could he have smoked some other vegetation before the alleged vegetable assault occurred? Perhaps some medically necessary marijuana?
Ann Coulter said liberals throw like girls.
My theory is lack of practice accounting for the difference in trajectory throwing from the balcony elevation. When I first started bow hunting I got very good on the ground, but when shooting from a tree stand I couldn’t hit a barn. So I practiced shooting from the roof of the garage. Problem solved.
The tomato man had the same problem Amelia Earhart encountered: “Poor planning, worse execution.”
I see swede.. Great observation. So it may follow then that Poor Planning & Worse Execution is a liberal trait, seeing as how the Cash For Clunkers program was a massive failure, the stimulus program has not lowered unemployment, Cap & Tax is floundering under the climate gate scandal, & the Health Care debacle is bound to cost Democrats the majority in Congress eventually.. I think I’m seeing their problem!! Why aren’t they?
Give credit where credit is due…
The perp’s name is: Jeremy Paul Olson
(according to the linked story about this)
Doh!
From Kodak thread:
For a sparring match? Or just pure boredom?
Looked it up on Urban Dictionary. Did you know there are two meanings? One is very violent.
Probably moreso the latter but it seemed like all the threads were fizzling out so why not get everyone in one place?
Why is it Dan Lee always knows what I mean and zero never does?
I hate to bring this up, but there is more to this fisting thing…sometimes it involves using mannequin arms. Big deal in the gay community in CA.
Several years ago I worked in a major western hospital in the pathology department. We had a closet that we kept “things” removed from patients’ rectums. Not to go into detail, but you name it, we probably had it. From lightbulbs to gerbils, screwy people know no bounds.
Brings a whole new meaning to “tearing one a new a$$hole”.
Salt of the earth (not!).
Woof!
Acid in my eyes!
If the Monster thread was still alive, you wouldn’t be finding the kids playing in the living room. ;o)
I stopped listening to them after Lou went off the deep end claiming they were more influential than the Beatles. What a putz!
Found: Love child of Senator Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi…
Yeah, they all pretty much look like every other liberal reject from society that I’ve come across.
Will the procedure to remove such objects be covered by Obamacare?
My guess is YES!
Most likely the message is that he is so frustrated because he wants to nail her but can’t, that he can’t see straight to hit his target.
The fact that she embodies everything he politically hates increases the frustration exponentially.
Did you mean Velvet Revolution?
Just saw that mentioned in the new lead story.
Last night I was thinking maybe “gleamed” had some other kinky usage I didn’t know about.
Considering all the words that have been perverted, like teabag, for all I know it does.
Well, whaddya know!
Urban Dictionary:
Gleaming the cube :
Intense masturbation aimed in the directon of a Nintendo Gamecube that has Beyblade stickers on it.
use it in a sentence:
“Matt- I caught my cousin Tyler gleaming the cube!!”
Just like liberal women, all of these dudes in Ms. Malkin’s article are UGLY AND STUPID. Read Sarah’s book, read Michelle Malkin’s book – both great!
Ewwe….
Dan Lee, are you gonna stay awhile?
Ewwe is right.
If you ever want to get a crash course in the most disgusting elements of contemporary society, go to Urban Dictionary and start reading.
I had to go there to know what MILF is.
Fred Astaire-Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off
Artist : Fred Astaire
Title : Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off
you say either and i say either
you say neither and i say neither
either, either, neither, neither
let’s call the whole thing off
you say tomato, i say tomato
you eat potato and i eat potato
tomato, tomato, potato, potato
let’s call the whole thing off
I think the urban dictionary is stretching it a bit. (no pun intended)
It was also a movie.
With Christian Slater
Hey! Chedda!
I wish I had not seen that.
May need to thow up soon.
It may have been mentioned but….
lets not forget the
Denver window smasher and
The congressman’s son that hacked into Sarah Palins email!
But only if performed by a band – preferably a military band. I am SO sick of hearing our National Anthem rendered unlistenable due to the vocal gymnastics of so-called “singers” these days who couldn’t hit and hold a note on key if they tried.
Just STOP IT before I am inclined to bring violence upon you!
Oh and by the way, folks … stocking up on A&A (figure it out) is all well and good, but late to the game. How are you doing with foodstuffs! You know … just in case. Take a gander at this place ( http://beprepared.com/Default.asp?bhcd2=1260414629 ), then get out your wallet. Food is as important as that “other” stuff.
arms and ammo?
