Protester Throws SHOE at Chinese Premier. Apparently, Wen Jiabao is not a fan of the comic strip character.

“This despicable behaviour cannot stand in the way of friendship between China and the UK,” he said.

Yeah, throwing an athletic shoe vs. the oppression and murder of millions of Chinese.

How “despicable”

It would be awesome if it was the same shoe thrower from Iraq. That guy could be a free lancer for hire for anyone that wants a shoe thrown at a world leader. Kill evil with capitalism I say.

How long did the protester live? Tortured first or just summarily shot?

Better that ten Chinese policemen beat one Falun Gong woman until her legs look like purple porpoises.

Or that PLA tracked vehicles turn a line of student bicyclists into a meat counter display of raw hamburger.

Sixty million murdered for the Peoples Republic of China but Wen Jiabao must whine over one sneaker--

--where is that iron determination of the Long March, Girly Man?

wonder why the muslims and chinese are taking over the UK, US, and EU? they seem to still have some testosterone left. i’m sure if a muslim nutjob or chinese guy threw a shoe, it’d at least make the stage

If anyone threw a shoe at Obama, we would all be walking around barefoot the next day.

Which is precisely why I never want some yahoo taking a pot shot at the guy.

The black booted thugs would be knocking down doors looking for your guns if that happened. I have no doubt about it.

Hey authors, I think shoe throwing was popular before GW.

I wonder if that shoe was manufactured in China.

Always put youself in the other’s shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.

No doubt sponsored by some enterprising shoe maker...
