Juvenile, revealing behavior continues after “shoe-throwing incident”

Posted by: ST on December 29, 2008 at 11:33 am

Via the Christian Science Monitor: “Shoes flung at Bush flying from shelves” – ba da da da da (to the tune of the McDonald’s theme song) and guess who’s “loving it”?

As I’ve written before, let’s imagine again the howls of outrage we’d have seen from the left had a similar incident have happened with Barack Obama. Let’s also imagine how those of us on the right would have reacted: With the same amount of disgust we have over the incident with the Iraqi “journalist” and President Bush. Sure, there’d be a few jerks on the right who’d “cheer” the actions of the person who threw the shoes, but I have no doubt you would not see the level of praise from the right as you’ve seen from the left – certainly the shoe-thrower would not be treated by the conservative masses as a “hero.”

It’s about a little thiing called “respect,” and while I didn’t support Obama, I respect the office of the presidency, and any loser who denigrates our president (no matter the party) in the fashion Muntazer al-Zaidi did won’t get any accolades whatsoever from me. I’m confident that most of my fellow conservatives would agree.

Once again, class eludes the far left.

    The shoemaker says he is even preparing a new advertising campaign aimed, for now, at the Turkish market. It will feature the shoe held aloft on a stick, with the words “Bye Bye Bush, Hello Peace,” below it.

    Let’s just hope the next country the new KGB led Soviet Union invades is Turkey, and then we can see what, if any, help Barack will give them.

    certainly the shoe-thrower would not be treated by the conservative masses as a “hero.”

    I would beg to disagree. I am now of the temperment that I would hope that the shoe plunk Barack right in the face. I would then go find a pair of my shoes and put them on a stick outside my home.

    These people are so incredibly stupid. Do they honestly think that the Liar’s comment about Barack’s “spine of steel” is reality?? =)) Riiight!! – Lorica

    Since Obama has indicated that he does not intend to uphold all parts of the Constitution, the oath of office he takes in January will be a lie, and I cannot respect him as the holder of an office he will not respect himself.
    However, I do respect him and all people as human beings. I wouldn’t applaud anyone’s throwing an unprovoked shoe at anyone else.

    No surprises here. ST logs in to a political forum I log into as well, and lo and behold: last week we found, to our astonished (right word, ST?)eyes that one contributor to the forum thought that the shoe-tossing incident was the finest moment of 2008.

    Heavens to Murgatroyd!

  5. LOL, Leslie – that means that a visit by me to the forum this afternoon will likely happen. See ya there ;)
