BDS, Iraqi journalist edition
An unhinged Iraqi journalist fulfills the dream of every MSNBC anchor and NYTimes editorial columnist by throwing his shoes at President Bush during an impromptu news conference in Baghdad.
Thankfully, President Bush was not hurt.

Snort. Patterico writes: “I think I heard that Iraqi journalist scream ‘Don’t tase me, bro!’ as he got swarmed.”
Reader David: “Dear Michelle, It is amazing – with all the hoopla about the Secret Service – that a civilian Iraqi reporter, in Baghdad yet, could complete TWO violent shoe-tosses at President Bush without any molesting from his protective detail. In fact the only person who actually confronted, and in some sense “tripped-up,” the “protestor” was a fellow journalist. The Secret Service was no where to be seen. It appears from the video clip of the incident that they poured-out from a back door many moments after the shoe attack was finished. If this reporter form Cairo had had a gun, Bush would have been dead and probably from many bullet wounds. The man had a virtual eternity to manage his attack. The Secret Service was a disgrace! Argh! Are you as hopping mad as I?”
Hmmmm. Via reader Duane:
Kidnapped Iraqi reporter freed, says no ransom paid
19 Nov 2007 13:33:27 GMT
Source: Reuters
BAGHDAD, Nov 19 (Reuters) – An Iraqi TV journalist who was kidnapped last week in a busy Baghdad neighbourhood said he was released unharmed before dawn on Monday.Muntazer al-Zaidi, a correspondent for the independent al- Baghdadiya television station, said he spent more than two days blindfolded, barely eating and drinking, after armed men forced him into a car as he walked to work on Friday morning in the bustling Bab al-Sharji area of central Baghdad.
“My release is a miracle. I couldn’t believe I was still alive,” Zaidi, 28, told Reuters by telephone.
Zaidi said the kidnappers had beaten him until he lost consciousness. They used his necktie to blindfold him and bound his hands with his shoelaces.He never learned the identity of the kidnappers, who questioned him closely about his work but did not demand a ransom.
The captors later told Zaidi he would be released, throwing him on to a dark street, still blindfolded, around 3 a.m. (0000 GMT) on Monday. He was then picked up by his brother.
At least 122 journalists and 41 media support staff have been killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, according to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists. About 85 percent of those killed were Iraqis.
Some Iraqi journalists have been targeted by Sunni Arab militants or by Shi’ite militias. Others have been killed by U.S. forces while reporting. (Reporting by Waleed Ibrahim; Writing by Missy Ryan; Editing by Richard Balmforth)
Iraqi journalist hurls shoes at ‘dog’ Bush
Dec 14 02:36 PM US/EasternAn Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes and an insult at George W. Bush, without hitting him, as the US president was shaking hands with the Iraqi premier at his Baghdad office on Sunday.
As the two leaders met in Nuri al-Maliki’s private office, a journalist sitting in the third row jumped up, shouting: “It is the farewell kiss, you dog,” and threw his shoes one after the other towards Bush.Maliki made a protective gesture towards the US president, who ducked and was not hit.
The journalist, Muntazer al-Zaidi from Al-Baghdadia channel which broadcasts from Cairo, was frogmarched from the room by security staff, an AFP journalist said.
Predictable gloating in the left-wing blogo-cesspool.

The President looks a little bemused by the whole thing. I’m going to miss that smirk.
Maureen Dowd must be green with envy over her Iraqi colleague who threw a shoe at President Bush. Actually the behavior of the Iraqi journalist was kid stuff compared to the way Christine Amanpour treats Israeli leaders. In her proIslamic special report called “God’s Chose Warriors”, Amanpour started screaming at Shimon Peres. Amanpour was in an uncontrolled rage and she started screaming “Your words, Your words” as she confronts Peres with some quotes from 34 years ago. Amanpour’s interview with Ehud Barak in 2000 was similar. She started reciting Arafat propaganda lines at Barak and Barak, who is an Israeli who doesn’t back down from bullies, responded by saying: “That’s B_ _ L_ _ _ T”
In comparison to Ananpour, the Iraqui journalist was peaches and cream.
The journalist must be interviewing for a new job at MSNBC
/sarc
Pretty good moves for a 60+ year old President-and he kept smiling. That will drive the moonbats of the Left even battier-if that is possible.
From what I understand throwing shoes is an ultimate insult in the Arab world. That comes from stepping in the goat and camel droppings.
I do pray for the day we can quit the mohammedan world altogether–including Kenya, Indonesia, Chicago and Minnesota.
Why are you turning off the sarcasm? What is sarcastic about it? Keith Overbite and Tingly Leg Matthews are every bit as unhinged as this fellow–different cultures different insults-same jerks.
/sarcChristine Amanpour should have her entry visa lifted. Let me waterboard the cow. I would go for a record-say ten minutes? If you get a chance to see Christine Amanpour on CNN-International she is even more strident in Europe.
Brigitte Gabriel has un-fond things to saw about Christine Amanpour.

The journalists will now make this nut cake their new hero and freedom fighter.
CNN adds in its story that President Bush said, “That was a size 10 shoe he threw at me, you may want to know.”
Great composure.
I”m happy there wasn’t a bomb in those shoes. You know how militants like shoe bombs.
Good moves for an old man George.
Oh!
Hillary came under fire too, didn’t she?
MSM: THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS OF THE DAY! AN IRAQUI THROWS HIS SHOES AT BUSH!!!
(much smaller and quieter news: no new corruption charges for Obama/Blagojovich/Rahm Emmanual just yet today, but since it’s only 9:00 am we need to try to distract you some more…so BACK TO SHOE TOSSING AT BUSH NEWS!!!
When you have been married as long as George, you know how to duck a shoe.
He will be on the Olberdork show Monday and wined and dined by all TV media except Fox News. This man is now a great hero of the liberal media!!!
Maybe he was after his 15 minutes of fame. I wonder if he was simply a lousy journalist before this; now he is the darling of the unhinged left and can write a book!
I’m pretty proud of my quick moving President.
Only a baseball player could dodge a head shot like that. (wonder if the terrournalist played, good throw on the first one)
How the terrournalist got off two is bothersome. He could’ve been shot dead, instantly.
Anyway, nice move Pres.
Is this where Mookie comes in with – “we must have paid him’?
Reference:
President Bush handled the situation well. Bush would have made a great Conservative if he would have applied hiself to fighting the Left instead of being so touchy-feeley with them.
I guess he does not favor that auto bailout either!
Imagine this same lame reporter trying that stunt when Saddam ran his country. Oh yah, that’s right—he couldn’t dream of doing such a thing without being shown to the ‘shredder.’
That’s why he did this. enjoying your freeom, buddy? You couldn’t entertain such a thing six years ago, could you?
Wow….how brave of that journalist!!! They only reason for that clown’s freedom to hurl shoes at any head of state (aside from a pathetic performance by the Secret Service…you’re in freakin’ Iraq! ya know..a WAR ZONE!!! wakeup!!!!) is that particular head of state. George Bush is the reason why that clown had the freedom to hurl shoes at George Bush. What an ungrateful putz……
Somebody should have slapped the crap out of that shoe chucking moron and thrown him head first into the street.
Cat-like reflexes! I am actually quite proud of President Bush right now. I bet he killed in dodgeball as a kid.
But, how in the hell was he able to get off a second salvo without being swarmed by agents?
And apparently Dana Perino got a black eye in the ensuing scuffle.
Bush – shoe thrown at head – cheers from the liberals.
Obama – lady says something about him being assonated – visit from the secret service – liberals in an outrage.
Liberalism is a disease.
Hey Chap!
Howdy.
Another unbiased reporter…would do well in America.
Sarc…. re: the first part of this post
Can you imagine if he would have tried that with the glorious leader Saddam Hussein? He’d be lucky to be in piece after throwing one shoe.
Good reflexes, Mr. President. Of course, were I him, I would have let the Secret Service beat the ever-loving crap out of the reporter afterwards….
Anyway, this is THE BIG NEWS. Corruption in Illinois, the state where our glorious future President came from (and is probably chest deep in)? Bor-ing. Some schmuck throwing a shoe at the President? BIG NEWS!!!
What’s next? Waiting with bated breath for what George Clooney and Sean Penn think of the shoe throwing!!!!
Let’s see. Fresh from release by “terrorists,” this dirtbag journalist gets within feet of the President and tosses his shoes (both) at him? I smell a Pulitzer. Or a rat. Or both.
Opps. Correction. Time distorting. He’s had a year for the hate to fester against Bush. Gone from political prisoner to political opportunist. I still smell a Pulitzer.
What is the word on Dana? Talk about a class act and tremendous person.
I am reminded of the 2002 Subway Series between my beloved Mets and the vile Yankees.
This of course was Clemens first trip to Shea Stadium since the Piazza beaning and World Series bat throwing incident in 2000.
Shawn Estes, the Met’s pitcher had one job and one job only that night. Intentionally hit Clemens when he came up to bat. You would only get one shot at this. This one mediocre pitcher’s only shot at Mets glory.
He freaking missed. Roger Clemens. Not exactly a small target.
To quote Ann Coulter:
In the spirit of reaching across the aisle, we owe it to the Democrats to show their president the exact same kind of respect and loyalty that they have shown our recent Republican president.
Shawn Estes, didn’t he come over from the Rangers? (For those of you who do not know, that was a bush reference).
…Bush…
LOL. He MISSED Clemens??!!!! Even I could hit Clemens with a ball. And I have terrible aim.
Childish move by the childish reporter. I’m sure he’ll be on Olbermann tomorrow talking about how he spoke truth to power or some such crap. Of course, since I’m not an MSNBC employee or a pedophile, I won’t be seeing it. (neither will the rest of America, judging by the ratings).
Arizona Nanderthal…when you are right, Sir, you are right..I hereby recind my “/sarc” thought
.
….according to the ever so-sophisticated moonbats,
the offending journalist is just trying to get a job at MSNBC et al in a tough economy (the world’s smallest pity violin can now be heard)…as far as I’m concerned he can spend time at GITMO for all I care, but he’ll probably end up at the New York Fishrap..oops I meant New York Times.
1. So does the Press Secretary get a Purple Heart for this? \sarc
2. I can only assume that this “reporter” is now on a C-17 en route to Guantanamo.
Hmmm… From now on, perhaps everyone will be required to check their shoes at the door.
One can only imagine what Stinky Harry Reid will think of this come his next news briefing.
I’m sure that by tomorrow, Hillary, Joe Biden and John Kerry will have their own versions of their ‘shoe’ incidents while over in the region.
If this is the same journalist who was kidnapped a few weeks ago, then the kidnapping story has to be a little suspicious after this incident with the president. Sounds like a cover story and thank God he did not have a firearm. Too bad Bush did not pull leather and pop a cap in the guys gizzard. Wouldn’t that be a real ‘parting shot’?!
Sure he is, then to the states where we can spend tens of millions of dollars to give him a trial – compliments of Obama (that was for Mookie).
Seriously, is it just me, or do you get the feeling that Bush is safer in Baghdad than he is here in the USA? I agree that the SS totally missed the boat, but seriously….here at home, they DO want to stone and kill Bush. There, the guy just wanted to humiliate him with a couple of shoes.
BDS epidemic is far worse here at home, ironically.
In reference to:
My bad, the guy was kindapped a year and a few weeks ago…
I watched the video. The guy was not trying to hurt Bush, he was expressing his hatred for the man. I thought it was pretty funny: six years after Cheney said US soldiers would be greeted with cheers and flowers, they’re throwing shoes at the President instead. Heckuvajob.
As for:
You often accuse the left of hatred, well look here. If you could calm down for a moment, you might understand why this trivial event was a little ironic.
George Bush has made a lot of missteps along the way, and in fact he’s still making them, but 50 million people in Iraq and Afganistan have a chance at true individual freedom because of his unwavering support of our troops over the last 8 years; If the shoe doesn’t fit, you must acquit!
Nothing ironic or funny about a security risk to the President of the United States. If this had been Obambi having shoes thrown at him you would be questioning the competency of the SS and asking why they didn’t draw their weapons on the reporter. Typical hypocritical moonbats.
I am going to miss President Bush due to his standing against terrorism and freeing Iraq from the tyranny of Saddam.
Loved his quick reflexes today and his quip about size 10 shoes. Very cool, Mr. President.
Belatedly reacting to an Iraqi journalist’s poorly-aimed footwear assault on President Bush during a news conference today, the New York Times asserted that it “had been working on a Presidential shoe-throwing, but our plummeting subscription rates and reduced revenues had cut our training budgets.”
Internal reports from the New York Times painted a portrait of disarray and ineffective …
http://mindscalpel.com/2008/12/14/new-york-times-cant-even-keep-up-with-iraqi-press-shoe-throwing/
I’m afraid they would have caught me saying, “What the f—?” Then I would have thrown the shoes back. Sorry, I’m a preggo redhead and my initial reaction ain’t always the classiest.
“Could’ve been shot”? More like should have been shot. Those shoes could have just as easily been grenades or knives.
George was very cool under pressure. A duck and came up for more with hand up on the second. He stands his ground and completes the press conference.
BroBama would have been cowering behind the podium wimpering like a baby!! He would have been wisked out of there by his homies. The world would be appalled by the reporter, but a positive spin on BroBama and the situation would be nonstop for the next 24-48 by CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC……..HEROIC PRESIDENT OBAMA EVADES ATTACK..BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.
AHNOLD is right…..BroBama is a girlyman.
There is that.
I won’t mind throwing a couple of shoes at Bush myself after he and Paulson decided to use the TARP to subsidize the UAW on Friday. He has done a great job in setting everything up the new socialist world order for “the one.” I really am surprised at the lethargic response by the Praetorian Guard (Secret Service). I hope the detail around the office of the future felon president elect is a little quicker on their toes or we might end up with “Plugs” as the POTUS. Now that is a scary thought!

I’ve respected the office of the President by referring to the holder by his name, not some childish moonbat mangling of it. Please show the office of the President the same respect when a Democrat holds it.
This is your personal fantasy. Bush never was in danger. The reporter had no weapons, having been searched and metal detected on the way in.
Textbook straw man argument. First you say what we would have done, then you criticize us for doing it.
MrOlympia said:
Your fantasy, from watching too many blaxploitation movies.
This actually is racist. In America you have the freedom to be a jerk. And others have the freedom to call you on it.
The journalist is lucky he didn’t throw the shoes at Saddam. He would be dead…everyone in his family would be dead…every journalist in the room would be dead.
I look forward to the notion of a Democratic President showing respect for the office. The last one we had was getting serviced under his desk while chatting on the phone to high-ranking legislative officials. What other POTUS in US history actually has a sex-act named after his antics, ala, “doing the Lewinsky”?
Nothin’ to respect about the last one with a -D after his name. Here’s hoping there will be something to respect about this one.
Oh, and please: isn’t it cold up there on your high horse, lgm? “Homie” is not a racist term. It’s a slang expression for close friends, i.e., “Jesus is my homie”.
Jerry Springer goes Baghdad.
You’ve never heard of a Dirty Chester A. Arthur?
LOL!
No, actually, I have not heard of a Dirty Chester A. Arthur. Too funny, Chap.
What the left-wing, terrorist-supporting “reporter” is really saying:
“This is from all the dead terrorists that I sympathized with that were killed in Iraq.”
Also, isn’t it revealing how lgm and the other liberals still have BDS because we overthrew their socialist ally Saddam Hussein? They always have sided with terrorist regimes and are still mad we overthrew one of their allies.
The loony left confusing heroes and villains once again.
I also heard that Press Secretary Dana Perino suffered a black eye after being struck in the face with a microphone during this hubbub.
Well…I won’t get too graphic, but lets just say at least one of the participants needs to have a walrus mustache.
There is nothing funny about throwing shoes at a person. It’s immature and any adult in their right mind would not do this. It doesn’t matter what mistakes President Bush has made, he doesn’t deserve to be assaulted. No one does.
Actually Bush had quick reactions, must be all that mountain biking…Ha ha, I think it’s kind of funny.

Actually I was pretty impressed with Bush. He dodged that shoe and was smirking about it. He may be a lame duck, but Bush has game.
How much you want to bet after he retires we see him using those quick hands on some hippy in a Walmart. That’s the Bush I voted for.
This has to be posed and hammered in conscious of the citizens of these nations; are they grateful for U.S. blood and treasure spilled in freeing them from tyrannical and religious zealot rule? That’s the ONLY poll or media question that would matter to me. (I’m NOT encouraged so by the lack of support bu the Iraqi-American community). If they are ungrateful, then we should pull up stakes from the Arab world and fortify Israel to the hilt and get our energy priorities in order and not place the uninterrupted sex lives of caribou above the lives of U.S. soldiers securing our oil supplies — and that was not a jest or quip. ANWAR is regarded “pristine sacred” just for that bizarre but true reason.
A related matter; I live in NYC and like have the option of choosing my energy supplier; electric, gas, or oil. If you heed windmill T. Boon and this other natural gas guy (totally replace oil with natural gas), they want to shove your only having a single energy source — no choices — down your throat.

What would Rahm Emanuel have done?
Come home President Bush and bring some of our kids back with you.
He’ll be one in the press corps once Obama takes orafice.
What else should we expect from barbaric Muslims? Actually, the only thing I care about is that they are not able to attack us or Israel. If they are ungrateful, so be it. They are barbarians; we can’t expect more from them. Overthrowing Saddam Hussein has made us safer and Israel safer. That is the bottom line.
Also, we should carefully examine how ungrateful Muslims always are and only let in Middle Eastern Christians into our country if we don’t want to turn into their barbaric nations.
Is it only in the middle east where women and shoes are offensive? Oh, and maybe educated daughters too. lol
So when I throw a shoe at Obama, what will the reaction from the tolerant left be, I wonder?
I’m kidding. I wouldn’t throw a shoe at Obama because I am an adult. I disagree with 99.9999% of his proposed “policies” but I will never be so childish as to do that….
I wonder: if that shoe was full of explosives and President Bush was killed, what would be the reaction of the tolerant left? (I shudder to think of it)
Shoe-icide bomber.
SCTeacher said (#65):
What’s funny is that is shows how pathetically wrong Bush was about Iraq. Our troops were not greeted as liberators. Even now they’re throwing shoes instead of flowers.
Gabe said: (#74)
Many Iraqi’s see the US as invaders and bringers of chaos and death. Many have suffered more since the invasion than under Saddam. There are millions of refugees inside Iraq and in neighboring countries. Huge areas have been ethnically cleansed. Maybe their opinions of America will change as their lives improve.
“An attack on the President is an attack on the United States” President Bill Clinton said this after the attempted assassination of George HW Bush ordered by Saddam Hussein. It could have been a shoe bomb. The enemy of the United States who perpetrated this attack is lucky he wasn’t shot by the Secret Service.
So a journalist throws a shoe at our President, because of all the verbal bomb-throwing by left-wing journalists over the past 8 years.
Urkel hasn’t even taken office yet but it’s already clear journalists have been throwing things at him too.
Do panties hurt?
No joke, the Leftist clowns at Yahoo are highlighting an “analysis”/propaganda that this shoe throwing Muslim temper tantrum is “proof” that the surge has been unsuccessful.
There are more probably more people who die in murders in the Washington area than those who die in Baghdad on a daily basis, and yet for Leftists, a crazy Muslim throwing shoes is “proof” that we should have pulled out and not overthrown Saddam Hussein in the first place:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081214/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_iraq_where_s_the_victory__analysis
Lgm, who is “they” you are talking about? One crazed Muslim Leftist “journalist?” Logic is not a Leftist’s strong point, obviously.
Considering the drive-bys have slowed down their reporting on Iraq, particularly if Bush is over there, I wonder how many people are surprised to hear he is even over there.
…wondering what the hell the secret service was doing. As your reader David pointed out, there was a relative eternity that went by while this guy lobbed shoes at the President. Some pink slips are in order.
Mjk states:
We should thank God that we were not so unlucky to be born either Muslim or stupid enough to become Leftists, two types that are childish enough to throw things, like pies or shoes, at people they disagree with.
Lgm states:
If they would think about it rationally (not a characteristic of Islam), they would realize that it is “Allah” and the pedophile Mohammed that are the “bringers of chaos and death.” How peaceful has Iraq ever been since the 600′s?
Remember their reactions when President Reagan, Pat Nixon, Richard Nixon died? That is who there are: bitter, unhappy, vulgar people. Their comedians-Bill Mahr, Robbin Willaims and such–nasty, brutal and dishonest to the core. “President Bush: the only dope worth shooting”? Ward Churchill “Little Eichmanns”? Fahrenheit 9-1-1? Death of a President?
The Left would dance with joy–if one or two of them went public there would be a tut tut or two, not much more. When William Ayres called for the death of 25 million unrepentant capitalist the Left did not disclaim him-they has a coffee in his house and made him a university professor.
People who honor Che Guevara, Stalin and Mao have no problem killing Presidents or anybody else. It is that omelet thing.
Yes I did, thanks.
#80 Good one!
This is funny, people! Lgm you gotta get out more.
I’m surprised the headline in the MSM wasn’t something like this:
Bush Dodges Reporters in Iraq
Loved the Size 10 comment, BTW.
Hopefully Bush will convince them to pardon that turkey.
I am guessing the reporter was sympathetic to the Sunnis. When you are a minority group and you lose your power you tend to get upset.
I pay a lot of money for my shoes. I’m keepin’ ‘em.
I will show a surrendercrat occupant of the White House the respect they deserve. When they themselves, along with their party refuse to respect the office, why should I show them respect?
Were you stoned through the Clinton years?
Should respect be shown for Blago since he holds the Governors office and he’s a ‘Crat?
You were there then?
If President Bush, RahmO would have handed the guy another shoe.
If President Urkel, RahmO would have stabbed him in the heart with a table knife, saying he’s DEAD!
Uh…any chance of proving any of this?

At least GWB had something to duck!
LGM, Be glad Bush is such so foolishly PC that he didn’t personally plow this overeducated reporter with lead himself…The smirk on Bush’s face was endearing even if only from a RINO..
Vikisoup.. I do remember that James Bond flick, “From Russia With Love” that had a nasty Soviet woman with nasty shoes aimed at 007…
Of course not. Typical moonbat playbook, denounce the other side as being in a “fantasy” when questioning the safety of the President when himself actually making up stuff that he doesn’t have a prayer of proving true because deep down inside even he knows Iraq is far more free now by leaps and bounds than they ever were under that murderous dictator Saddam. Which is why he is a deranged moonbat.
I’d love to see what would have happened if someone had thrown a shoe at Saddam Hussein at a press conference. I’m sure he would have just ducked and laughed about a size 10 shoe /sarc
I think George should get this guy for part time press secretary, imagine how he’d handle Helen Thomas.
