Pie In The Eye€“British Leftists Vegan Cream Pie Attack On Immigration
Minister

[James Fulford]

€œWe threw the pie because we didnt want to engage in debate and
legitimise what he was saying.€� is the explanation given by a
spokeswoman for No Borders, a radical pro-immigration group in Britain
after Phil Woolas, Minister For Immigration, had been hit with a pie
believed to made of €œBourbon Cream biscuits and vegan cream.€�[BBC
NEWS--Migrant row minister hit by pie] She also said €œWhat he was
spouting were right wing anti-immigration policies. The danger is that
people like him are making such views mainstream.€�

And what, you might ask, where these right-wing policies? Something to do
with race or religion, the two main problems with immigration to the UK?
No, even the Minister for Immigration cant talk about that in the UK,
hed be investigated by the police. His sin was to suggest the
possibility that their could be numerical limits to the number of
immigrants to the United Kingdom, and that the British population should
not exceed 70 million.

Of course, the refusal to engage debate is typical€“Ann Coulter described
this style of argument in 2005:

Liberals enjoy claiming that they are intellectuals, thrilled to
engage in a battle of wits. This, they believe, distinguishes them from
conservatives, who are religious fanatics who react with impotent rage to
opposing ideas. As one liberal, Jonathan Chait, put the cliche in The New
Republic: Bush is an €œinstinctive anti-intellectual€� and his
administration hostile to €œfact-driven debate.€� In a favorable
contrast, Clinton is €œthe former Rhodes scholar who relished academic
debates.€� Showing his usual reverence for fact-checking, The New York
Times Paul Krugman says the Republican Party is €œdominated by people
who believe truth should be determined by revelation, not research.€�

Im not sure how these descriptions square with the fact that
liberals keep responding to conservative ideas by throwing
food.[AnnCoulter.com - Archived Article: IT'S ONLY FUNNY UNTIL SOMEONE
LOSES A PIE, November 13, 2005]"
