'Shoe' Thrown at Hillary Clinton During Speech

A woman was taken into custody after throwing what she described as a shoe at Hillary Clinton during a Las Vegas speech.

The incident happened moments after Clinton took the stage Thursday at an Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries meeting at the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino.

Clinton ducked but did not appear to be hit by the object, and then joked about it.

"Is that somebody throwing something at me? Is that part of Cirque de Soleil?" Clinton quipped.

She added: "My goodness, I didn't know that solid waste management was so controversial. Thank goodness she didn't play softball like I did."

When this happened to George W Bush, I think it was taken as proof that everyone on the planet hated his guts.

And this is on home soil.

Throwing Truth at Power. How the worm has turned against these aging, ex-anti-establishment hippies, like this communist witch.

Hooray for the thrower!

Eat leather, you felonious, wretched, lying, greedy, power-mad, sanctimonious psychopathic weasel!

That picture obviously slipped by the MSM photoshoppers who de-wrinklize every photo of the Witch.

This was constitutionally-protected free speech. It was performance art. You can write plays about assassinating George W. Bush and we are told to understand the rage and accept the work as critically-acclaimed art. By those standards, a shoe hurled at Mrs. Clinton should be seen in the same light.

The shoethrower didn't stand a chance against a "hardened combat veteran" like "H-bomb Hellary."

The individual should have handcuffed her and, then, turned her into the authorities for her many crimes against civilization.

The whole thing smells like a Clinton scripted “event”. She acted almost as if she expected it to happen.
