Tabloid trash eh?

So a reporter expresses his moral outrage at Bush and that's tabloid trash?

By the way this reporter is a citizen of Iraq who has covered the invasion and who has lost several family members in the war.

Throwing a shoe or the showing of feet is a symbolic insult as the feet are considered the dirtiest part of ones body.

If your country were invaded and your family killed and you expressed your moral outrage would you call that protest tabloid trash?

If you haven't noticed, it's real difficult to get those blinded by partisan propaganda to put themselves in anyone else's "shoes".

Note: Corporate media outlets are not reporting what the man said as he threw the shoes, “This is the farewell kiss you dog….this is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq.”


wow, just heard about this briefly on the morning news, which is why I posted the shoe img - imagine hurling those. But going to read up on it, never heard the reporters comments, now more curious.

Thanks War

This is a riot. A news reporter throws his shoes at Bush
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7782422.stm


It was in Iraq.... imagine if he threw a shoe at Saddam Hussein....the reporter would be dead now and probably so would his family. So .... the reporter was very disrespectful to the man who is responsible for giving him his freedom of free speech and freedom of shoe throwing...

He might be showing his discontent for a country that support Saddam until he became a liability..Do you think all those years we supported him with$$$$$ & technology he played nice?

Naw...not in the critique. But..maybe in the posts.laugh

I didn't like what Bush said about not people using all 5 fingers. And he said it to people in another country with a culture different from ours.

Bush sure ducked fast.

His security people didn't move fast though. That's not good.

hahaha Yeah like the current administration gives a rats a$$ about freedom.

Go ahead and delude yourself.

Maybe you can demonstrate here in the U.S. from a fenced off designated demonstration zone cheering freedom.

HA HA HA

No one cared when Saddam was gassing Kurds until they wanted a reason to invade.

Freedom?

HA HA HA

I'm also surprised Bush saw that one coming.

I wonder what would have happened if he didn't duck? ohwell

Early reports are that the Journo with the wing tip fast ball was drug from the room and beaten pretty badly by Iraq security forces. The people of Iraq however are treating the Journo like a hero. Hmmm... catching a beating for freedom of speech, yeah, thats sounds like the New American version of the First Amendment.

Maybe in the posts... you could be onto something there. Are you trying to catch me slipping, Gumshoe?

Bush did move quick, I'll give him that, too bad he didn't show those kinds of reflexs when he was reading My Pet Goat.

I agree with the security statement: Imagine it was a grenade...

Is the reporter dead? ....no....Is his family dead? ....no ...Is he receiving fame and applause from the Iraq people...yes

if he threw a show at Saddam....

Would he be dead?....yes.....would his family be dead?.... possibly and definitely dishonored.... Would he be receiving applause from the Iraq people?.....No....they either wouldn't hear about it or they would hear how he tried to kill Saddam...the glorious Iraq leader. The man has freedom now he didn't have before the war. It's not the same level as American.....but it's more much more than he had before.
