I just don’t have any sympathy for that putz…

“This is Sparta!”

Watch this video to see the “Throw-a-shoe-at-Bush” event in San Francisco this weekend.

Try that after The One is anointed tomorrow and see if you can get away with it. I’m betting not. Of course, since conservatives don’t waste their time that way, no one would have such an event.

I don’t know it that’s actually a crime, as it’s not a real threat against a sitting President. However, it’s in bad taste. Pretty silly, actually, and has nothing to do with courage as the group’s name implies.

Let’s see what you say if someone shows the same kind of “heroism” with Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

I’m more than happy that the Iraqi hero

You owe me a new monitor after losing my coffee on the screen.

Hero…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…

Just one more example of “liberal tolerance.”

One of the best things to come out of Switzerland is the Pinzgauer. (sp?)
Very cool to ride in.

I’m more than happy that the Iraqi hero is seeking asylum in Geneva. Geneva has a huge Muslim and Arab population and has always been open to immigration.
Always? You mean except for that period during WWII when they closed the borders to Jews, right?

Switzerland took in 20,000 Jews from Germany and Nazi-occupied countries but yesterday’s report said it turned away or expelled at least 24,500 more. Motivated by anti-Semitism, the government closed the border to Jews in 1942, fully aware of what awaited them.

So much for “neutrality”. I guess we know whose side they were on then, after all.

As I tried to point out, he had shoes. The Secret Service agents had guns, and are trained to use them on anyone who displays any kind of threatening behavior toward our President (whoever that may be)unless they are given a direct order or signal by said President not to do so. Bush saved this hater’s life.

Seriously, really?

Ah, thank you. In that case, “MAIS NON” or “NEIN”!
There is no literate translation but I would say (depending to the context):

German: “keineswegs”, “keinesfalls”, “nie und nimmer”, “in keiner Weise”, “gar nicht”…

French: “jamais de la vie”, “nullement”, “et puis quoi encore”, “non mais ca va pas”…

We clearly have our differences politically if you call the shoe-thrower a “hero”, but thanks for the language lesson.

Have you thanked then-President Bush for calling off the Secret Service, thus saving your “hero’s” life?

I agree with this poster:

Soon there will be beheadings and rape rooms, with bodies hanging from bridges in Geneva? Such is the home he had without G. W. Bush.
