Iraqi man throws his shoes at The American President... Iraqi man hauled off by fellow Iraqis and beaten within an inch of his life only to be taken to the CSH- the best, not to mention American, Hospital in Baghdad. Ironic?
This guy should be released from the hospital to the public, untreated.. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.204.136.179 (talk • contribs)
I love the Anti-Americanism/Anti-Bush, but I'm wonder if Obama got hit with a shoe would all you liberals be so soft on criminal?--KDP3 (talk) 04:42, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
- The same ones that so much prized "democracy" and did everything to "export" it, are the ones that show that they cannot cope with the criticism, insults and other episodes that come with it. They should go to Zimbabwe. They'll love Mugabe. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.242.244.155 (talk • contribs)
- If someone throws a shoe at Obama then thats different, Obama didnt fuck things up like Bush did. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.100.25.133 (talk • contribs)
Shoe-throwing insult[edit]
While we consider this act an insult of the highest order, we would at least protect this man with our freedom of speech and expression. To beat the shoe-thrower, as the Iraqi police reportedly did, is reprehensible.
President Bush had the good sense to immediately call off our Secret Service in order to allow the local police to handle the situation thus preventing any further acts of intolerance toward the "occupying Americans"
I am like many other Americans who are disturbed by much of the president's decisions regarding Iraq, but I applaud his having the presence-of-mind under duress in dealing with this matter. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.251.227.152 (talk • contribs)
Beaten? Not cool, who on this planet would feel good about beating someone who spoke up against one of the most disgraceful faces in politics since Hitler? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.75.189.29 (talk • contribs)
This is not fair on the Iraqi man he is in so much pain and Bush deserved it for starting war with Iraq. SHAME BUSH!!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 79.73.24.160 (talk • contribs)
