2. A year or so ago, they held a rally in Rome and people were chanting "El Duce"

So Italy has looked bad to me for a long time.

3. At least this one time
the "lone nutcase" theory might be the true one.

I'm all for taking fascists down with non lethal but deeply humiliating missiles like pies and shoes. That one could have killed the man had it struck him just a little to the right. That is wrong.

I hope his assailant gets the treatment he needs, even though it's going to be in prison.

8. Are the facists in favor of taking their opponents down in "non lethal" ways?
Hell no! Would you have felt bad if it had been Bush being hit with an object like that?

9. Yes, I would have

Mr. Berlusconi may be a lot of things, but he is the democratically elected prime minister of Italy.

Taking out two of his teeth does not improve Mr. Berlusconi's temperament or Italian government policies.

If your point is that you approve the techniques of fascists and thugs, but are merely jealous of their effectiveness at employing such techniques, then you simply need to switch to whatever you perceive to be the "winning team" in order to satisfy your political aspirations, since you clearly believe that application of physical cruelty to your perceived enemies is unobjectionable.

This was a deranged act by a deranged individual.

13. "Democratically" elected? Oh boy, you know nothing, do you?
It's not democratic if you own all the media in your country, shut down any criticism, and invent laws to prevent yourself from standing trial in multiple corruption trials.

The only thing I'm sorry for, is that he only knocked out two teeth. Should've been a lot more.

11. Yes, because I know how much sympathy for the devil
it would have generated. It's a stupid tactic.

14. They both got what they deserved.
If only the one million dead Iraqi's just got a couple of teeth knocked out by a metal object... But they got killed because of the policies of Bush, and Berlusconi, who wholeheartedly supported the war!

7. Just like the footage of the Iraqi throwing his shoes at Bush...
I could watch this endlessly without getting bored. :)

At least the Italian guy hit his target!

10. There are some great violence fetish porn sites you would enjoy

There is something wrong in taking pleasure in seeing a person hit in the face and injured by a thrown metal object.

Did you get laid off from Bush's CIA or something?

12. Like you didn't enjoy it, like when that shoe almost hit Bush. At least I admit it.
I don't pretend to be a holier-than-thou kind of person, like you.

15. What made that cute was the dodge

...and that shit-eating grin on his face.

If it had hit him, I don't think it would have been as funny.

You can't see the difference between a shoe thrown at moderate speed and a potentially deadly weapon taking out someone's teeth?

I got over the Three Stooges years ago.

19. I *wish* the Iraqi threw a "potentially deadly weapon" to Bush!
It would have been the only kind of justice he will ever face.

16. A couple of links to show you what a pig this guy is
Obama racial "joke": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIgyJI_xdC8
Here he publically humiliates a civil servant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnfi1WeJiag

There are plenty of material out there to document his more serious charges, like periodically sucking up to Italy's growing neo-nazi movement, his insane corruption, how he has gained control of much of the Italian media and one of the worlds largest football clubs AC Milan, how he likes his teenage prostitutes to call him "daddy" even if he's 73 years old, probable links to the mafia, and perhaps worst of all, how the neo-nazis of Italia has established a uniformed parallel police force to harrass poor people and illegal immigrants (and legal immigrants) in North Italian cities with his blessing.

This guys deserves 100 statues thrown at him.

18. Your second link is somewhat dubious.
There's some dispute over whether it's really Berlusconi.

Not saying it couldn't've happened, mind you.

17. This is not the way...
I think Berlusconi is corrupt beyond belief, but this isn't right. Don't vote for the guy next time round.

Already the wingnuts on my YT channel are giving it "YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS NWO?!??!? BROWN, OBAMA AND SARKOZY, YOU ARE NEXT!!!"

It's depressing me.
