Keepin’ It Classy… Left-Wing Loon Throws Tomato at Sarah Palin in Mall of America, Hits Cop
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on December 8, 2009
The left-wing loons are upping their attacks by throwing tomatoes at former governor Sarah Palin at the Mall of America in Minnesota. As always, the lefties are keepin’ it classy.
Hitting a cop in the face with a tomato… PRICELESS.

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.
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.

Palin’s visit to Mall of America was a huge success, with or without tomato-throwing liberal nutjobs.
From KARE 11 News, Twin Cities, MN: Sarah Palin worth the wait for Mall of America crowd:
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Those who crowded into the Mall of America to see former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin Monday found their time with her fleeting, but they didn’t come away disappointed.
“We didn’t know the first dude would be here. That was exciting,” Donna Orthmann of Lakeville told KARE, “We said welcome to Minnesota. They were very friendly and it was nice.”
Orthmann was one of 1,500 people who came to the megamall to get their copies of Palin’s memoir, “Going Rogue,” personally autographed by the politician turned celebrity author. Orthmann donned a tee-shirt featuring a pit bull with lipstick, one of the nicknames attached to Palin.
“Todd said he liked the shirt, ‘nice shirt’ he said!”
Like most, Orthmann waited at the mall from 5:00 a.m. until past noon to secure a place in line. Some passed their time reading the book, while others played cards or Yahtzee.
“I think she’s an interesting woman, that she’s done a lot with her life,” Jess Aldrich of Eden Prairie remarked, “Her book was good. I think I’m one of the few people who have finished reading it in my group here.”
After that seven-hour wait, Palin’s fans had just a few seconds with the woman who went from relative obscurity to Republican superstar in August of 2008 when Senator John McCain named her as his presidential running mate.
Cheers erupted as Palin, with husband Todd and their youngest child Trig in tow, took to the stage in the Best Buy Rotunda. Hundreds of other shoppers pushed against barricades on the first and second floors, snapping photos of Wasilla, Alaska’s most famous citizen.
Palin made no public remarks, and granted no media interviews. Instead she went right to work signing copies of her book, with an almost machine-line precision, cranking out several signatures per minute.
Along the way, however, she managed to interact with every customer who passed her table.
“Oh it was wonderful! My heart was pounding, my hands were shaking, it was really a treat,” Sue Parrucci of Centerville told KARE.
What did Palin say?
“She said, ‘God bless you Sue’!”

At one point Mall security and Bloomington police arrested a man who tossed two tomatoes in Palin’s direction. They missed their mark, according to MOA spokesperson Erica Dao. It apparently took place after news media had been escorted away from the Rotunda after a limited window for photographers.
Among those adding extra color to the event was Gary Chiero, a Columbus, Ohio merchant who has dubbed himself Palin Man. He’s been following the tour for nearly one week driving from town to town in his own car, dressed in Palin for President tee-shirts and shoes that read “Join the Palin Posse.”
“This is my seventh one,” Chiero remarked, “This is the best one. Look at these people! And these Palin people are real people, they’re everyday kinds of people.”
