Shoe for You

An Iraqi TV reporter threw a shoe at President Bush over the weekend. Here’s the video:

Anyway, here’s a helpful article entitled “In Islamic culture, shoe throwing shows disrespect” in case you were confused whether having a show thrown at your face is respectful or not.

  1. I think it would have been a great idea to throw 1 or 2 .40 cal lead devices at the reporter to thank him for the shoes, unless they were the wrong size. Then they should’ve thrown some more .40 cal lead devices at him in rapid succession.

  2. Notice how this story and the fallout from the “Arab World” is big time news. WOW! we are at below pre-invasion levels in deaths (which gets little reporting), but as soon as our media finds a story that shows how the “Arab World” hates us and President Bush is the Devil from one idiot throwing his Crocks at our president, It’s front page news. I wonder when it will occur to the media that they are constantly lumping entire groups of people into stereo types. I get that just like Europe, there are large groups of people that hate us, But not everyone hates us in the middle east. Surprising the media never seem to talk to the Kurds for their opinion of us. Oh I forgot, They aren’t Arabs, so they have no opinion in the middle east.

    Using the same retarded logic that the media is using to show how every “Arab” hates America, try this. I read once that there was this Klanner in Arkansas that murdered a teenager with another Klanner from Arkansas. This proves that Mike Huckabee is a racist Klanner. Not only is he from Arkansas, but he was their Governor. That’s up there with Imperial Maggot in Klan rank.

    For a industry that likes to think of its self as open-minded, They sure do like to make gross generalizations about entire blocks of people as long as it fits their world view. I sure am glad I’m Caucasian, because it appears that only white people are allowed to have any view they want.

  3. I would have loved to see Bush pull out a Desert Eagle .50AE from his jacket and blow the shoe out of the air. That would be the definition of “Kick Ass President.”

    Of course, all the news tonight would have been about Bush endangering all the journalists from flying shoe shrapnel…

    Yeah, where was the Secret Service during this, and why didn’t they take the guy out with the aforementioned 1 or 2 bullets?”

    It would have been way cooler to have Bush grab an agent’s pistol and do it himself–IMAO. With six weeks to go, and nothing to prove, what would he have to lose?

  5. “In Islamic culture, shoe throwing shows disrespect”

    In Iran’s ‘Islamic’ recently deposed culture,
    disrespecting visiting heads-of-state would
    qualify you for a feet first trip into a wood chipper.

    In Christian culture, returning evil (like disrespect)
    for good (like liberation) is foolish, and carries a penalty.

    Proverbs 17:13 ” He who returns evil for good, Evil will not depart from his house.”
