Protests greet Bush's first speech as ex-president Tue Mar 17, 2009 5:00pm EDT
CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - More than 100 protesters chanted "war criminal" and flung shoes in Calgary on Tuesday, angry that former U.S. President George W. Bush was in the Canadian city to give his first speech since leaving the White House.
At least two demonstrators were hauled away by police after brief skirmishes, as 1,500 business people in the oil patch city waited outside a convention center for an hour to pass through tight security and enter the C$400-a-plate ($315) luncheon.
Media were barred from the invitation-only event, during which Bush had been expected to reflect on his eight years as president.
"He is a war criminal who fought an illegal war, and there are some who say he was never elected democratically, so there are some who say he should be arrested as soon as he comes here," said a woman dressed as a Guantanamo Bay prisoner, who called herself Ivana Nomobush.
She had brought with her a makeshift "shoe cannon" that catapulted footwear, but complained that security personnel were not letting her use it.

al-Reuters soaks their panties with 100 moonbats but doesn’t deign to cover 4,000 citizens in Cincy. Figures...
I hope they walked home shoeless in the snow.
These people are morons. They don’t have the first clue what a war criminal is. Meanwhile, the five atrocity committing skunks in Guantanamo are getting their cases reviewed.
More than 100 Islamofascist terrorist wannabes throwing their shoes. Geesh. Some people really do need to get a life.
“100 protesters”
That’s it? Small yard sale.....LOL a-holes.
All across this country we have tea parties attended by thousands of people. You hear crickets chirp.
But Reuters...hey they’re on this aren’t they?
Another public display of collective stupidity.
Most exciting moment of their year - throwing shoes at George Bush.
Really accomplished something did those Canucks. Liberals haven’t much going for them.
Typical, the media focuses on the less than 100 protesters outside rather than the 1,500 supporters inside.
For an much nicer perspective on the President’s time in Canada, read the following:

Tell Canadian moron “Ivana” that the US is a republic, not a democracy.
Probably not that many, remember the million man march.

“He is a war criminal who fought an illegal war, and there are some who say he was never elected democratically, so there are some who say he should be arrested as soon as he comes here,” said a woman dressed as a Guantanamo Bay prisoner, who called herself Ivana Nomobush.
And there are some who say that any woman dressed as a Guantanamo Bay prisoner should be tarred and feathered.
At any rate, her idol is in the WhiteHouse now.
I hope these douche bags are in whatever building the ragheads blow up next... and they will attack again after our first African Mau Mau president has weakened the policies and safeguards that have kept us safe for seven years. Eat $&*# and Die Liberal scum!
So the drive-bys decide that a handful of protesters are the story and not the actual speech by the former president?
No wonder the news media is on the endangered species list.
I can not wait to see them on the “extinct” list.
