Isn't shoe throwing as a show of contempt a Muslim thing?
I'm concerned. Was the protestor able to walk away with both shoes?
"In his new role as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Dean has stressed that Democrats are stronger than Republicans on defense."
--> Dean, where did you get that kind of information? There he goes again, flat out lying to the public.
Where's a British oil trader when you need him?
Maybe he was upset that his request for government subsidies for bunions was rejected.
How does "Belltower" Dean think these liberal weenies are stronger on defense than Pubbies? They undercut the military every chance they get, and toss soldiers to the sharks at the first hint of wrongdoing.
I just can't picture Dean and Perle debating. Isn't that like shooting fish in a barrel? Perle can't possibly take Dean seriously.
Screamin' Dean really brings out the animal in the Democrats. LOL!
New Headline: "Dean Throws Fit, Followers Lose Sole"
Sorry, couldn't help myself...
Why do communists insist on using shoes for emphasis? (Remembering Kruschev's famous sole hammering experience)
There is no mention in any of the articles I'm finding of the protestor being arrested.
Did they just give him his shoe back, and send him on his way?
"Defense is a lot broader than swaggering around saying you're going to kick Saddam's butt," Dean said Thursday, drawing cheers from the crowd in this city that overwhelmingly voted Democratic last November.
Perle said the war in Iraq was justified based on the intelligence available at the time. "Sometimes the things we have to do are objectionable to others," he said.
Dean also said the Bush administration has ignored the mounting threat in Iran and North Korea. "We picked the low hanging fruit in Iraq and did nothing" about the other, more dangerous regimes, he said.
Perle had his own barbs, too. He began his opening comments in the 1 1/2-hour debate by saying Democrats "looked at the Democratic Party and chose a physician to lead them."

Interesting alternative story about what this "protester" actually said while throwing the shoe at Perle from Powerline: Dean Smackdown Update
We posted yesterday on the debate in Portland last night between Richard Perle and Howard Dean, which we predicted would be the most one-sided affair since the Little Big Horn. Reader John Arcari has a report:
I just read an account of the debate held last night between Richard Perle and Howard Dean wrritten by a left winger who attended the debate. The highlight of the report is when some 52 year old Democrat threw a shoe at Richard Perle while screaming "mother f****** liar" numerous times as the police dragged him out of the debate hall. He missed Mr. Perle, who took the incident in light fashion. I believe there were local TV stations there, so I would think the whole episode would be on tape. Ah, the Democrat Party at work!!!
There is simply no plumbing the depth to which the American left has fallen. We understand that the "debate" will be televised on Cspan a week from tomorrow.

The nut who threw the shoe was Brian, he was on Ed Shultz's show today. The SCair America host said laughing about it and "at the worst , you were just a little bit out of bounds".
