I don't know if this belongs in LBN, but it's an hour old on CNN's web site.

KALAMAZOO, Michigan (AP) -- Commentator and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan cut short an appearance after an opponent of his conservative views doused him with salad dressing.

"Stop the bigotry!" the demonstrator shouted as he hurled the liquid Thursday night during the program at Western Michigan University. The incident came just two days after another noted conservative, William Kristol, was struck by a pie during an appearance at a college in Indiana.

After he was hit, Buchanan cut short his question-and-answer session with the audience, saying, "Thank you all for coming, but I'm going to have to get my hair washed."

:rofl: Man, I was SURE that one was an April Fool. Nice to see it's not. I'm all for throwing foodstuffs at RW nutjobs! :thumbsup: Although, actually, Buchanan's sounding SANE these days compared to some of these OTHER nutjobs.

eww....

Right or wrong? Well, 'inevitable' at the very least.
