    protester hits Senate Armed Services chairman with pie

    Anti-war protester hits Senate Armed Services chairman Carl Levin in face with pie in Michigan

    BIG RAPIDS, Mich. - A woman identified as an anti-war protester hit U.S. Sen. Carl Levin in the face with an apple pie during the Armed Services Committee chairman's meeting with constituents in northern Michigan, authorities said Monday.

    The senator took a question near the end of the Monday morning meeting in Big Rapids from a man who said he was a student, Levin's office said in a news release. The man read a long statement, then a woman came up and hit Levin with a pie.

    Big Rapids police arrested Ahlam M. Mohsen, 22, of Coldwater on a felony charge of stalking, as well as misdemeanor counts of assault and disorderly conduct. She has no listed telephone number in Coldwater.

    Mohsen told the Big Rapids Pioneer she hoped "to send a message that liberals and Democrats are just as implicated in the violence (of war) as the Republicans."

    Mohsen was one of three protesters arrested in January 2009 after a sit-in at Levin's office in Lansing, according to Michigan State University's campus newspaper. She told the newspaper then that the group wanted the United States to begin cutting military and other support to Israel and call for an investigation of Israeli war crimes.

    The earlier arrest, plus the escalation to a physical assault, formed the basis for the stalking charge, Officer Erik Small told The Associated Press. He said Mohsen was being held without bond and was expected to be arraigned Tuesday.

    Police said the man who read the statement before Mohsen hit Levin with the pie and a woman who videotaped the attack also could face charges. Police do not have the videotape, Little said.

    Levin appeared to take the pie toss in stride.

    "They didn't hurt me, but they hurt their cause even more than their own extreme words had already done," he said in a statement.

    The constituent meeting was sponsored by the Mecosta County Democratic Party. The city of about 10,000 is 50 miles north of Grand Rapids and 150 miles northwest of Detroit.

    charge the woman with everything possible.
    if she is here on a student visa. REVOKE IT.
    if she is a legal immigrant. Revoke the citizenship and deport her.

    I might not agree with everything senator Levin does. but you have to respect the office even if you dont respect the person

    I disagree. Your statement offers those who would abuse their office protection and I believe your statement is old and outdated. Can you say that about Obama, jamesw62? I don't thing necessarily condmening the person means condeming the office. I respect the office of the President, but I sure the hell don't respect Obama. I bash him every chance I get.

    Having respect for most of these politicians is out of whack how can you respect those a that are abusing the power "We the People" have granted them. As far as I am concerned they have no repect for any of us...for if they did none of these terrible things goin on in our Country whould be happening...

    Respect is a two way street....
