When Nikita Kruschev pounded his shoe on the negotiating table in the 1960’s the world was outraged at his barbaric behavior. Today a (supposedly unbiased) journalist throws his shoe at a world leader and where is the outrage?
“Today a (supposedly unbiased) journalist throws his shoe at a world leader and where is the outrage?”
1. If thrown at Bush, the reaction is apathy or jubilation. The instigator is regarded as a hero.
2. If thrown at Obama, the reaction would be collective horror. The instigator is regarded as a terrorist.
I’ve got some outrage for you.
First, I’d like to stomp the shiite out of the POS. Then, hang him.
No, Mr. President, this was not “amusing.” It took Secret Service forever to get up to the podium and it took forever for anyone to try to restrain the asshat (I’m being nice) who assaulted our president. Aiming anything at someone’s head is intent to commit murder.
No, the response should have been on behalf of the American people, what was done was an insult to all our brave troops and their families who served and sacrificed in Operation Iraqi Freedom to bring democracy to a stinking, ungrateful hell-hole peopled by barbarians who, when they are liberated, attack the Commander in Chief of those who spent time and treasure, who shed blood, thousands who made the ultimate sacrifice, who DIED dammit, who tried to train and educate the most backwards people on the face of the earth to govern themselves. And, this is the result?!!
Don’t ever introduce me personally to ANY Iraqi, because they will hear the above and more.
I dare him to try it at a CPAC convention.......
