PORTLAND, Ore. - Howard Dean, the newly minted leader of the Democratic Party, and top Pentagon adviser Richard Perle made clear their opposing views on the war in Iraq during a debate marred by a protester who tossed a shoe at Perle.
Perle had just started his comments Thursday when a protester threw a shoe at him before being dragged away, screaming, "Liar! Liar!"
Perle, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's top policy adviser, was a key architect of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, and Dean is among the war's most prominent opponents.

I can't find the exact quote, but the clip they showed on the local news, Perle said something to the effect of, Luckily he(shoe thrower) isn't accurate with his throwing either.

LOL, this man was in his mid 50's also, I figured it would have been one of the liberal college radicals. I don't think the article mentions it, but during the debate there was a lot of booing and people screaming.

Of course, if one of us had thrown a shoe at Dean it would be front-page news in all the legacy media tomorrow, Al Qatie Qouric and the other usual suspects would deplore it on the air tomorrow morning, and it would still be featured in the Dem talking points for 2008.
Incidentally, in Islamic culture even exposing the soles of your shoes to someone is a deadly insult and actually hitting someone with a shoe far worse.
Coindidence?

Lol. Finally got my first FR giggle of the day.
To: Bostton1
Well, I mean, what did Perle say that caused this idiot to throw his shoe and scream "Liar!"?

"That REALLY hurt. Who throws a shoe?"
To: atomic conspiracy
No coincidence. It's a wannabe.
Can you imagine how barren your life must be for you to act out as a wannabe Islamic activist?
Yeesh.

Knowing the left, you're probably correct.

Amen to that. I live in Portland, and this town is overrun with those vermin. They are intolerably intolerant of what they perceive to be the intolerance of others. Anything to the right of extreme left is borderline Nazism to these Socialist dupes!

What was said by the shoe thrower and Deaniac was not just "Liar, Liar". The whole thing is on tape. Use your imagination. I hope the tape get wide viewing. I'm sure the MSM will bury it.
