This time the target was David Horowitz.

A conservative activist who criticizes what he calls the leftist domination of college campuses was struck with a pie Wednesday night at Butler University.
David Horowitz, president of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, had just started a lecture at Butler when he was hit.
Horowitz's supporters followed the assailants out of the hall, and confronted them with what a witness called "pushing and shoving." However, the attackers got away.
"There's a wave of violence on college campuses, committed by what I'd call fascists opposing conservatives," Horowitz said. "It's one step from that to injury."
After the incident, Horowitz completed his lecture.
It was the second time in a week that a conservative lecturer was hit by a pie at an Indiana university. On March 30, William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, was attacked during a speech at Earlham College in Richmond.
Butler spokesman Marc Allan called Wednesday's incident "deplorable."

Don't these mounting instances of violence against conservative speakers on campuses across the country run counter to the philosophy of the "enlightened, tolerant, peace-loving" liberals?
Each attack only reveals the intellectual impotence of a member of the left.
Note that conservatives have not retaliated by joining the Food Fight Movement.
I think a statement from Dr. Dean condemning the violence is in order. He needs to rein in the violent fringe element of his party. OOPS!!! I forgot. Dr. Dean is the ruling king of the left fringe. I don't expect the chairman of the DNC to decry the violence.
I also believe universities need to provide heavy security for conservative speakers.
Is there "Pie Detector" technology available?
