Bush dodges shoe thrower (Video)

[Minstrel]

That would be Clinton and Obama.

Oops!

Oops what? I didn't say Bush was the only one who did it. I was simply making a word-play joke, that applied to Bush, in response to Ed's word-play joke on Obama.

Besides, what did Obama dodge?

 

[barfo]

That would be Clinton and Obama.

Oops!

Oops. Obama didn't dodge military service, he simply didn't volunteer for it. The draft had gone away by the time he came of age, so there was nothing to dodge.

Bush didn't dodge the draft. Clinton did. And you're right, Obama didn't volunteer, yet Bush did.

Oops!

Depressing to think that after all the money we've spent and lives we've lost, there doesn't seem to be any outrage at all in Iraq that our President was treated this way. I don't like Dubya, but he's the United States President. It's sad as an American to see the leader of our country, the leader of so many Americans who have sacrificed for Iraq, so disrespected, not just by a guy with a shoe but by a whole region.

the real depressing part is not that there isn't any outrage there, but there is very little outrage here and seem to be a lot of people in the US celebrating this and saying he deserves worse.

Oops!

Oops. Bush volunteered for the National Guard in order to dodge the draft.

Yep. We're a fat and lazy nation. I think we actually need a Depression to separat things. Way too many people seemingly have countless hours to post on these boards while supposedly working. I include myself in this statement.

I wonder who is discussing these things on a niche sports forum in, say, Tbilisi?

Your commentary on the size ten stuff tells me you are a future Dhimmi. At least until they try to saw your head off, eh? Because I thought that was also an "insult", at least in the Daniel Pearl video.

Did NPR mention this insult while glorifying this Iraqi coward? I mean, at least strap a bomb to yourself and kill some innocent people.

Huh? I point out that a lot of people in the region seem to be praising this guy, and how depressing I find that our President is treated as such, and you project from that that I am at some point the future I'll be under Shariah law? Whuh?

From such a response, I'm guessing you are either a future sandanista, a zapatista or maybe a barista. I shall soon find a site with lots of severed heads to prove my point.

A depression would lead to more unemployment, and thus a rise in our post count. So bring it on! The only thing we have to fear is fear of posting.

Oops. Men who served in the same sort of National Guard units as Bush died in Vietnam and he could have been called as well.

I suppose they didn't "volunteer" as well, eh?

 

[PapaG]

Bush volunteered to serve in the military.

Obama and Clinton did not.

Let's stop this stupid smear. It delegitimizes some otherwise rational points.

 

[barfo]

Bush died in Vietnam

And that changed the course of history. Except, of course, that he was in no danger whatsoever of being shipped to Vietnam.

Best thing Bush has done in his second term IMO.

True, and horrifically tragic, that IS the best Bush has done.

If he ever gets within range of my size 12 Wolverines you can bet I won't miss!

Dude, we're talking about shoe throwing. You, on the other hand, pull your best Talkhard impression and talk like "the Muslims" are going to take over America and impose Sharia law. And finally, to drive home your retarded point, you post a link to beheading pictures. Wonderful. I'm sure glad I clicked that link. Thanks. That wasn't a giant dickmove.

Shoe-Flinging Takes Off As A Form of Protest

It’s catching: Two days after an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at President Bush in a show of contempt during a Baghdad press conference, green activists in Australia borrowed the tactic to demonstrate their anger at government climate policy shifts.

Unlike the Iraqi shoe-flinger, however, the Australian protestors did not have an actual head of state in front of them to target with their shoes, so they had to make do with an impersonator.

During a public demonstration in front of the state legislature in the South Australia capital, Adelaide, protestors pelted an activist dressed up as Labor Prime Minister Kevin Rudd with shoes.
