Man throws shoes at Bush in Iraq - Democratic Underground

Source: KC Star

BAGHDAD (AP) - A man threw his shoes at President George W. Bush and was dragged away by security officials during the president's farewell trip to Iraq.

The incident occurred as Bush was appearing Sunday with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

Bush ducked and wasn't hit by either shoe. Bush joked, saying that all he can report was that it was a size 10 shoe. then calmly took questions.

monkeys will fling poo at him. That I'd like to see.

The question is: Did Bush take the shoes with him? A gift?

flowers! I just love the parting gifts this group is getting. 79% won't miss him. Karl Rove is nervous about Eric Holden.

fear having something with an actual soul coming so close to his evil head.

He found the whole thing rather humorous...He is a disgusting little man!

I soooooo wish I could throw something at the idiot too. What a royal class a**hole. Did you see his stupid response? Didn't even make any sense. "It causes you to get attention." Uh, hello, the guy could have gotten "attention" any number of ways, oh, say, pull his pants down out on the street and moon someone. No, you dipshit. It's pretty clear - he wanted to hit YOU with something because you deserve it.

was simply channeling Lois W., wife of Bill W., co-founder of AA. She was frustrated with her alcoholic and threw a shoe at him, as I recall...

At least they weren't 6 feet above his head - they whisked right by him - that shows the real contempt of not just Iraqis, but most of the world towards the warmonger...

Keep the change, Ya filthy animal! :toast:

Kudos to him for standing up to Bush's self-promotion, revisionist history tour. I just hope it doesn't mean he gets labelled an enemy combatant and tortured to death. I hope the media will follow up on what happens to him. I am praying for his safety!!!

May your end of days be dogged by lawsuits and pissed off people.

Remember in Iraq this is a huge insult. Remember all the shoe throwing at statues of Saddam?

Because the guys sitting on the railings were showing the city the bottoms of their boots.

but of course you are absolutely right and he is trying to save face. For all the good it will do him. It's a little late to start worrying about his image. :rofl:

Commander AWOL & Cronies FAIL to round up terrorist Shoe Bombers and Shoe Flingers. Just as they have failed at everything else.

NOT!!!

HA!

He's lucky it's only a shoe...

I can't say here or in public what I truly wish would happen to him...

in the Arab world. Hitting Stupid wasn't the point. Throwing something at Stupid from the lowest part of the body was the point.

As usual, Stupid missed the point.

In the Arab world, shoe flinging is a gesture of extreme disrespect. A notable occurrence of this gesture happened in Baghdad, Iraq in 2003. When U.S. forces pulled down a giant statue of Saddam Hussein during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, many Iraqi detractors of Hussein threw their shoes at the fallen statue.

This may be an ancient gesture from the Middle East; Psalms 60:10, speaking of some of the traditional enemies of Judah, says that "Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe...." (KJV)

The shoe represents the lowest part of the body (the foot) and displaying or throwing a shoe at someone or something in Arab cultures denotes that the person or thing is "beneath them." Showing the bottom of one's feet or shoes (for example, putting one's feet up on a table or desk) in Arab cultures is considered an extreme insult. Examples include Iraqi citizens smacking torn-down posters of Saddam Hussein with their shoes, and the depiction of President of the United States George H. W. Bush on a tile mosaic of the floor of the Al-Rashid Hotel's lobby, forcing all visitors entering the hotel to walk on Bush's face to enter the hotel.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe_tossing

and plan to step in dog shit before we enter and track it over Stupid's face.

My guess is that hotel will see a lot of traffic from people with no intention of staying there.

Bring a Jackhammer and drill these tiles. :mad:

Think the face on the floor of the Al Rashid is his dad's face!

some US vip was to have an audience with Saddam. He was sitting in a room with his leg crossed over his knee with the sole of his shoe facing the door that Saddam was to enter. He came in, turned around and left. Then one of his assistants came in spoke to the American about the problem. He put both feet flat on the ground and the interview commenced.

That says something in Saddam's favor that he did not take it as a personal insult but ignorance on the part of the American and came up with a graceful way to solve the problem.

With the words written, 'FUCK YOU AND GOODBYE, ASSHOLE!"

I'd be part of it.

Flat Rate box and mail 'em to him at the White House.

present for our dear leader. Or the perfect "get the hell away from us" present.

where to organize them. I'd love to but don't know how.

Maybe someone will see this and help or tell me how to go about it? It would not be an expensive message (postcard mailing is cheap), the message would be seen by everyone in every post office, the post office would be inundated, the WH would have to receive them, and news of it would end up in the mass media!

I'll start it and ask each person to kick it and to respond when they have mailed off their card(s)/letter(s).

It really should be done.

FYAGA! I like it, and may use it in the future. It's short and gets to the point!

pnorman

they will not make it to the WH. Maybe a note in an envelope?

...tell him there's a snort of his favorite powder if he fills it and leaves before Jan.1

being 'liberated'? :sarcasm:

I'm sure that will be the RW spin.

Bush being greeted as a "liberator". :rofl:

That's what is being said.

Now TSA will likely make us fly barefooted.

Wow, same size as IQ score

Your time is up BUSH!

shoes to throw, and more power to his aim and throwing arm next time.

scar to his collection.

I'm concerned that now I'll be on the terrorist watch list. Please talk me down.

I say he had a lot of sole!
Too bad he missed the mother fucker!

I couldn't think of any other way to 'kick' this thread since I am i my stocking feet,

I were to say that my tongue is tied - but I don't want to leave any tracks.

At least he wasn't instep with the propaganda.

A pretty callus act, if you ask me.

...(sorry--couldn't resist being corny too).

I guess he wants to take a photo op for his library before leaving office.

That is more than the troops who he keeps sending back there over and over get. I'm sure that they and their families would like to say "farewell" to the place, also.

Personally, **I** wanna see his "FAREWELL" to DC and his fucking plane/copter take off on Jan 20th. Of course, within a few hours of his DC takeoff it will be flying over my city and landing down in Dallas...bleh. Glad I only do mass trans to/from work in Dallas cuz it would piss me off to no end if he and his entourage fuck up Dallas traffic as he gets driven around.

if we allow extradition.

Symbolism is universal

His term expired, we did not give him the boot. Should have but didn't. I guess our side will never learn since the Right Wing plan on trumping up charges and investigation on Obama and press for his impeachment at every angle.

She is complicit in many Administration acts.

is not harshly punished by the police.

I coulda told him he'd never hit the Walking Meme, the False Narrative, the Orwellian Mirage that is our current POTUS. Plus, he might be needin that shoe, what with the great depression the Democracy Spreader brought us for Christmas.

Good effort, though. In a show of solidarity, hang a shoe for Joe. C'mon. Wag the dog.

...there sure would have been dog shit on it! :evilgrin:

This was really a huge insult, and wonder if Bush even knows. His flip response to it might be seen as arrogance.

He really didn't help rehabilitate his legacy, which I think is a non-starter anyway, especially when he has been doing it during the worst crisis in 50 years. Its Katrina all over again.

This is the end!" shouted the man, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.

thats 'freedom of the press'.

Maybe he will cover the Gitmo detainess from inside the walls

It could have been a grenade. I wonder what little corny ass joke he would have made then.

So is he over there to say, "Hey, aren't ya glad I liberated ya?"

It's off to one of Saddam's torture camps now run by Americans for that reporter.

I thought IdiotSon understood baseball.

Where does AF1 come down?

The guy who threw the shoes lived in and reported on the conditions of the slums of Baghdad. Many of his friends and family members have been very much adversely effected during this occupation. As a reporter, he has been kidnapped and tortured.

But according to the media pundits, his throwing his shoes was an OUTRAGEOUS and SHOCKING act.

The media is so screwed up.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7782422.stm

wow -- the guy really whipped them!

..that's hard to believe.

I'm sure chimp felt right at home having stuff thrown at him..he seems to have perfected the ducking.
Sure took the SS a while to get there (I assume it was them who came thru the door behind chimp--well after the second show was thrown).

as he threw the shoe "Peace Bush, I peace on you."

you can hear the Iraq reporter yell, "Mission Accomplished" as he chucks his old kicks.

I cannot believe how funny that was.

He joked. Does he not get what that meant?! Is he that thick?! I just CANNOT wrap my head around this man's thinking! It frustrates me. Why do I waste my time? Oh, nevermind. Just venting.

AWOLbush knows only what can make him and his handlers richer.
That's -retty much it.

I regret that noone had another pair or two of shoes or boots. PITY, PITY, PITY!!

LOL.. the best thing I've seen in the last 8 years.

I have a vision of him having shoes flung at him wherever he goes for the rest of his life. The only way to prevent it would be for security to make everyone in his audience remove their shoes at the door. Wouldn't that be awesome?
