I happened to watch the coverage of the incident involving the aggression to President Bush on CNN.

I don’t know if anyone else watched it on CNN, but I was disgusted after listening to the event as told by Octavia Nasr. What a pathetic woman!

Ms. Nasr’s blatant disregard to objectivity in the reporting of the incident is a disgrace to journalism. There’s no doubt to the listener that if she could, she would have thrown the shoes herself at President Bush. SHAME ON HER & CNN!! It’s people like Ms. Nasr that give a bad name to objective journalism these days … With her enthusiastic account of the story … she was for sure cheering and justifying the actions of the thug with his size 10 shoes!!! Whatever happened to respect of the office? if not the man?

Then … although highly disappointed once again … I can’t say I’m surprised by the blatant political activism displayed by CNN reporters.

I wish you well Melek

Maybe I’m a tad out of touch with current political dogma, but in my book, when The President of the United States – no matter who it is – is physically attacked by any means, we are all attacked.

If it’s OK to throw shoes at President Bush because it is George Bush, then, when an attack comes on President Obama, will outrage depend on one’s political persuasion?

Yep, the first time anyone at a press conference so much as says a disparaging word to Barri all these leftards will be screeching for them to be thrown in jail.

That last shoe hit him. Scratch shoes from the list.

This comment thread shows that the class and tact Bush displays is rarely rejoined by his opponents/enemies.

Actually, what you view as “class” the world recognizes as Bush’s famous inability to acknowledge fault, his inability to recognize the concerns of others, and his lack of self reflection.

Interesting cherry-pick, dino. Lord, you are truly immature.

Do you have an answer to the second part of my statement?

If it’s OK to throw shoes at President Bush because it is George Bush, then, when an attack comes on President Obama, will outrage depend on one’s political persuasion?

You can bet anything you want about my views on the Clinton Administration. I felt his domestic policies were basically good, his foreign relations efforts excellent, his understanding of the Islamic Jihad threat dangerously naive, and his personal conduct appalling. And, no, I did not aprove of the effort to impeach him for perjury.

I hope Obama names the shoe thrower chairman of the committee to investigate bush’s war crimes.

HAHA

You called me a liar, dino.

You have no right or basis to do so.

I gave President Clinton high marks on some things and low marks on others.

Neither here or anywhere do I make it a practice to deceive or dissemble. I likewise assume – no matter how much I may disagree with you – that you are not engaging in outright deception. You owe me the same courtesy.

that was THE MAN who through the shoe on the criminal murder bush

The shoe throwing is a sign of disrespect. Nothing wrong with this guy dissing president Bush. He propably lost everything he had during the war.

The man has a class and tact about him.

Yes that’s true, but why did he wave them off?

W.W.O.D???

Tell us something we don’t know.

A whole chain of shoe stores might do it. You merit a lot of disrespect, liar.

Mr. Robert108. I will take that shoe store chain. No size restriction on this. Who knew that after retirement I would become a shoe merchant, compliments of my beloved uncle Robert? It will give me something to do.

Uhh..

Grateful feller, ain’t he?..

MT, I think I heard the guy yell: Don’t taze me bro!

if I took personal the things that are said to me on blogs i would never come out from under my bed.

Garbagemouth dino whines like a little bitch. Too funny!

OH MY GOD!

Ok, I’m sorry. Really. It seems like you took that too personal…..

Ain’t that cute! Page printed without the deletion flag at the top.

Funny, wiki says this guy is a vocal supporter of Saddam Hussein. “He has been very critical of the occupation of Iraq, expressing his wishes that Saddam Hussein was still in power.” That from their current page, which I am printing out, since it is flagged for deletion.

Go check it out before it evaporates.

He propably lost everything he had during the war.

Obviously, you’re not aware that we have those authorized to drop cash on the victims of the war.
To lay out cash at a scene happens nearly before a bc.
THis guy is a paid reporter.
He isn’t hurt.
He wanted to increase his street cred.
He should’ve been ventilated before the first shoe hit the ground.

e liar: Another garbagemouthed bitch heard from. No content from you, as usual.

The average office shredder does nothing to alter the computers where the vast majority of those paper documents originated.

You cross the line, Dino, when you suggest that I am a liar.

And by the way, I don’t believe a word you said about your support for the Clinton admin.

I will assume that your ignorant arrogance was responsible for that comment.

If you want to examine the posts I have issued here and the comments I have made, you will find that I am frequently and viciously pillored for not being what some define as a true conservative.

Good move on Bush’s part if you ask me…
(thumbs Up!)
lol

send a farewell shoe to bush

Living in Florida there was an urgent need of shredder in the office so I called up the saleman who told me there was No sales tax on purchases delivered out of California! 10 year warranty on cutting heads & 1 year warranty on mechanical parts (parts only)!

Good reflexes

Yes! President Obama will redeem us somewhat.

Don’t you kind of wish the republicans from this country would all emigrate to Iraq since they see it as such a paradise of capitalism and freedom? They could use some of that generosity they always talk about having and help rebuild.

Whatdayasay, guys? How soon can ya pack?

Working for government department where each and every word is confidential. Knowing that your shredded documents cannot be reassembled and that your confidential information is safe is worth every cent of the cost of a paper shredder

Dude, settle. I think I take the honors for most maligned person here. Cross the line?

Grow some skin on yer pudding. I’ve had to.

I hope the Iraqi police kept the shoes as evidence, and the thrower had to walk home barefoot.

Of course. I don’t doubt for a minute that there’s many hoping for harm to Obama. He receives lots of threats from the brainstem crowd. I certainly don’t expect them to shed tears if anything happens to him.

And by the way, I don’t believe a word you said about your support for the Clinton admin.

It’s not ok to throw shoes at anyone. I just think he deserved the hostility he received. Sorry, but when you invade someone’s country, kill tens of thousands, drive the best and the brightest from the country and destroy the lives of generations of people, you deserve some hostility.

We lost 3000 people in one day nearly 6 years ago and we’re still whining about it like it was yesterday. I wonder how happy you’d be if we’d lost 10-20 times that many and had our lives uprooted for the entireity of those 6 years?

I do find it humorous how he went over there to try and claim his place in history as some great liberator. Poor guy will NEVER be anything more than an awful failure in any historical account even AFTER conservatives try and rewrite history.

What size is the shoe?

Bush is lucky it was only shoes for all the carnage and devastation he caused the Iraqis.

A deposed dictator replaced by an elected government…

Yeah, what a jerk.
