Maybe we need a bit more perspective.

The shoe thrower was most likely aware of the consequences of his actions. He must have been of mind that beating, torture or other personal mayhem would be inflicted on his body. In some countries, say China, he would probably have been executed for his disrespect to a U.S. president and subsequent loss of “face” it engendered. Whatever his state of mind, I don’t believe any of this is reason to meddle in what is the affairs of another nation.

I’m thankful no physical harm came to Bush. I’m troubled that he seems to have honestly dismissed an anguished gesture as a publicity stunt.

He doesn’t get it. He never will. There’s something lacking about the man.

January can’t get here soon enough.

BTW, where the hell was the Secret Service? This guy got off a second shoe, for Pete sake!

Do you not think my beautiful niece Melissa Vincent didn’t suffer when she was merely dropping off paperwork at Cantor for her law firm on her way to work on 9/11? She was alive for 48 minutes in WTC-1, where she made 23 heart wrenching phone calls before she threw herself out of Canters windows landing on Church Street? No? Leaving her Husband and three little girls that we’re now raising? Have you ever been afraid Bush S. and I mean fight or flight afraid where there is no flight option Bush S.? Until you have experienced this first hand I would say you are deferred from your post subject. If it were I in that news conference I would have lopped of this idiot’s head with piano wire in a nano second. Got that Bush S.? We’ll see how Barry handles our first attack and then our second, third, fourth, etc..

If someone had told me that we would have needed to cut the arms off of Islamic terrorists, yes terrorists in order to protect 3,000 of our fellow citizens that day, I would have said start with my Louisville Slugger.

Let me ask you the same question Bush S.? If a family member dearest to you was about to be liquidated but you had a chance to change circumstances beforehand which would require say a water-boarding, what would you do and be honest? Then show that family member your response……

I pose this question to you as well StrawberryB

Happy Holidays and with undue respect BushS, pound sand…..

What this man did is not right and he can be punished for the offense, but NO ONE should be tortured. We should all stand up against torture, always, always.

Put yourself in his “shoes”, if a foreign power had invaded your country, killed and tortured family, friends, neighbors. Don’t you think you could blow a fuse????

He would have not dare throw one shoe to the last regime. It would be OFF with his HEAD in the public square.
