Shoe-Throwing Iraqi is a Hero to Some

December 16th, 2008

Al-Zaidi

Shoe-throwing Iraqi is a hero to some. All of a sudden, Muntadar al-Zaidi, is a hero. Before Sunday, the Iraqi TV reporter who hurled his shoes at President Bush during a news conference was a relatively obscure figure, even in his own land. But by Monday al-Zaidi was the darling of the Arab world. Read more here.

IF THE..’ IRAQ GOVERNMENT”.. PUTS THIS MAN IN JAIL FOUR SEVEN YEARS OR GIVE HIM ANY JAIL TIME AT ALL, THEY WILL CAUSE SUCH A BACKLASH THAT THE U.S. ARMY..AND ALL GROUND FORCES WILL FEEL RIGHT AWAY!. LET THEM HAVE THEIR HERO IT WAS ONLY A SHOE NOT A BULLET. THE COST OF SENDING HIM TO JAIL WILL BE REVENGE FROM BOMBINGS AND MORE LOST OF IRAQ AND FOREIGN LIVES!

what do you mean “to some?” …. the guy done good… keep it up!! if the shoe fits…throw it !!

LYNN said on December 16th, 2008

IF THIS GUY HAS TO DO JAIL TIME! THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ AND OTHER MUSLIMS WILL TAKE REVENGE . NO HARM WAS DONE TO MR BUSH SO LET IT GO! TO MUCH IS A STAKE.

All BS aside, that was very disrespectful. If that had been an American throwing a shoe at a dignitary from another country they would have hung his azz!! I don’t care for Bush, but I do feel that the title of President deserves more respect than that.

I think president Bush was gaining his fame at the end of his presidency. President Bush attacked in Iraq ignoring the United Nations Permission. Though UN is one of the puppet of US. How can
president Bush doing this to Iraqi people? War is not a game. So he get his reward. I hope this will remembered by President Bush until his death.

Dam why he miss? Bush got some good A$$ reflexes!! You will never get a chance like that again he should not have missed Sh!t.

Apparently the theory of mans evolution is a hype. A pencil is a wonderful tool but in the hands of a criminal, it’s a deadly weapon!

THAT WAS SOME FUNNY SHH.. HE WILL BE FAMOUS FOR THAT FOREVER. IT SHOULD HAVE CLOCKED HIM ON DA HEAD.

What surprised me is that I didn’t know a 63 year old republican could move that fast to the left.

Bush is President of the United States,not the world and if you knew what the guy was saying and paying attention to the news you would be in agreement with him.Anyway it was funny.

Bush is not my favorite person but I felt that was very disrespectful. He still is America’s President and a human being!

jfffnn said on December 16th, 2008

Florida
The shoe incident was supposed too be a act of disdain and disrepect.Again,Bush is President of the U.S. not the world and in that region Bush is not respected and that is why the reporter is getting cheered.

T-Dog said on December 16th, 2008

I’m not a Bush supporter by no means just like the rest of the world, however, he didn’t deserve that. Anyway though, looks like Leno & Letterman just received a silver platter on this one!!!!!!

Shortback said on December 16th, 2008

I wished he would have knocked the HE** out of him. Maybe he would have gotten some since knocked into him. He looks like a no nothing white man who got his finger stuck up his a**. I will be glad when he leaves the white house.

F*ck a shoe, he should have thrown some steel-toe boots at his ass. LOL!!!! When I first saw it I was on the floor laughing because of Bush dodging those shoes. I guess he has some practice with dodging since he’s been dodging repsonsibility pretty much all his life. LOL!!!

littlelucy said on December 16th, 2008

thweatt said on December 16th, 2008

ITS Amazing how one act of childishness (shoe-thrower) can bring about so many losers. Once again those that seek to nail BUSH are unsuccessful. BUSH has been able to do whatever he has wanted, and no matter how people come at him, he keeps it moving. All of you posting about how you wish you could’ve done it are cowards, as soon as you saw the President of US BUSH you’d start asskissin like all the other liberals who meet him for the first time.

we need to re-droop our troops in afghanistan, before end of february ……

mattie said on December 17th, 2008

TWO SHOE’S FOR TWO, the first shoe thrown was for the DESTRUCTION, OF IRAQ, THE other shoe thrown, was for the innocent soldier’s that died, for a LIE, BUSH should count his BLESSING’S, HE went into a COUNTRY, that he DESTROYED, and he was BLESSED, that the reporter didn’t throw a knife at him, THE SECRET SERVICE gave the JOURNALIST plenty of time, to do what he wanted to do, that reporter was able to throw two SHOE’S at BUSH!!! and the SECRET SERVICE should have been STANDING IN FRONT OF THE PODIUM, but they were not on their game, either this was sloppy on their part, or GOD, is bringing BUSH to a OPEN SHAME, and he is ALLOWING THE ENTIRE WORLD TO WITNESS IT.

urub said on December 17th, 2008

You guys (pennie & cecilnoe) are too funny!
I have read the comments made, and some say the journalist was wrong for throwing his shoes at the American President, because of his title,(president). What about the innocent people that have been killed since the war started, what were their titles? And Does it really make any difference? I am not saying that I agree with the Journalist, but one has to think for a minute. It is very rear that journalists act in this way, usually they remain neutral on any given story they are reporting. However, this journalist knew the nature of his actions, likewise the concequences. Therefore one can only imagin the built up anger that is now ascribed in him. What could have caused that? But at the end of the day the better question is who could have caused that? Bush, why, how?!

David UK said on December 17th, 2008

Hey people, we should not encourage such a cowardly act as throwing a shoe at a president… Whatever next? What this guy did is disrespectful period! He has embarrassed the American president, American people and not to talk of his own people and country. Now these people are condoning violence and making a hero of an “immature individual” trying to prove a point. How Juvenile!

Penelope Fletcher said on December 17th, 2008

There’s a much,much bigger picture here then throwing shoes at
President Bush.

Big deal ahhaha boo boo!! Too bad he missed!! LMAO!!! yeah Penelope, there is a bigger picture here..HUMANITY!! Respect! Just ask my New Orleans people!!
