Unhinged: Anti-Israel college student throws pie at Democrat Sen. Carl Levin

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 16, 2010 07:03 PM

Michigan State University seems to have a problem. It has failed to teach its student agitators how to engage in civil discourse with opponents.

Flashback: December 1, 2006 – Mob rule at Michigan State University

Flashback: January 26, 2009 – 3 students arrested in Gaza protest

Two of those students, who were charged with trespassing during an anti-Israel protest at Michigan Democrat Sen. Carl Levin’s office in the incident last year, have now been implicated in an appalling assault on Levin today, via the Detroit Free Press:

U.S. Sen. Carl Levin got an apple pie – no whipped cream or ice cream on top either – in the face this morning during a question-and-answer session for the Mecosta County Democrats at a Big Rapids deli after being criticized by a young man for his stance on foreign policy and defense of Israel.

Witnesses at Pepper’s Café and Deli said as the Detroit Democrat who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee asked the audience to let the man have his say, a young woman circled behind him and squashed a pie into the 76-year-old Levin’s face.

…Big Rapids police said the woman, 22-year-old Ahlam Mohsen of Coldwater was arrested not far from the deli and charged with assault and disorderly conduct. It was not immediately clear this afternoon if she was still being held.

Nico Rubello, a reporter for the Big Rapids Pioneer, said Levin stuck around and answered more questions after the incident. His newspaper reported that the man who asked the question was Max Kantar, 23, of Big Rapids. It also quoted Mohsen as saying, “We wanted to target Levin today to send a message that liberals and Democrats are just as implicated in the violence (of war) as the Republicans.”

Pathetic. Levin issued a statement noting that these punks only hurt themselves — a point I’ve made for years after repeated physical assaults by the Left on conservative speakers and public figures.

But don’t look for any hysterical columns from Krugman or Rich on the “insane rage” of campus Israel-haters any time soon.

    1. Someone needs to find out the immigration status of these students.
    2. If they are here on student visas, send them home.
    3. If they are legal residents but not sanctified citizens, that status needs to be revoked.
    4. If they are here illegally, they and their families need to be deported without fanfare.
    5. If they are citizens, charges for assault and battery need to be issued.

    In other news on MI on foxnation.com. It seems MI has the highest rop type there in the U.S.. Well, the football team has to wait till dusk to do their drills because of all the kids of the rop type doing their faith. This type of thing is all over our country. I bet these kids have their ‘very own’ foot baths in the state schools. This bho just gave the ‘go ahead’ to these little darlings and it is not going to come out good! Do the Christians and Jews get the same for their holidays? NOT in the U.S. now under this bho!

    And so soon after Michelle O’s latest attempt to impress on children the importance of proper nutrition. Now she’ll have to start a new campaign on proper table manners too unless our impressionable children assume that this is the way you eat those forbidden pies!

    I’m sure Miss Manners has a rule about not putting your entire face in the pie. And how about sharing?

    Conservatives seem to duck better. The liberal media won’t mention a thing because the pie wasn’t thrown by a tea party activist. The media can’t report given the whole mosque – islam is a religion of peace discussion. It never ceases to amaze me that people who pray 5 times a day aren’t better behaved. I guess when prayer consists of “death to Israel and death to America” pie throwing is tame. What was she doing having a pie anyway? Wasn’t she supposed to be fasting until sundown?

    Maybe the Jihadis should redirect some of the funding for the 911 Sharia Victory Mosque to MSU. This crazy Tea Party “lady” needs some glasses and enemy identification training. How dangerous can she be if she can’t tell a DimocRAT from an evil Republican?
    ***
    And look out–it may be boxcutters instead of pies next time. Any speaker needs some real security protection against the kooks from the Religion of “Peace”.

    And maybe some money should be used to help the Tea Party ladies to pick out proper 1776 Colonial America clothing.

They will make every effort to force their way peacefuly, it bit by bit, until they grow in numbers to overwhelm and take over, by blunt force if need be.

    The assailant, a MUSLIM woman, in typical fashion, ambushed an elderly Jewish man from behind, in an unprovoked attack! (Apparently, the only thing missing was the traditional tongue-wagging, “Ha-la-la-la-la-la-a-a-!” uttered by frenzied Muslim women celebrating jihad.)
