Frankly, we need a hell of a lot more satisfaction and resolution then one thrown shoe!

Yeah, we hate Bush. We love to see him demoralized in public.

But, frankly, the shoe just doesn't do it for me. For one thing, the poor guy who threw the shoe will most likely face
criminal charges for attempted assault.

A moment's humiliation for Bush is not what we need. This President continues to bring down our nation with his scortched earth midnight backroom policy changes that will seriously challenge the nation's ability to move forward in January. He has committed the most serious crimes of high treason against this nation of any President in history. Bush co. has broken our government. They have stolen TRILLIONS of dollars from the American taxpayer without ANY accountability. None.

And, the dems are complicit. Pelosi knew about the torture memos yet she is still fucking Speaker of the House. The dems don't investigate not because they fear they won't be able to move the country forward with a legitimate investigation. They don't do it because they would have to hold their leaders in Congress to account. And, they won't do it. The ONLY thing that will move this country forward is a full investigation and criminal charges. Honestly and full disclosure.

America just committed a mass murder of 1,000,000 people under the Bush regime.

I am in NO mood to laugh as the late night comedians make a joke of the shoe incident. Think about it. Would it be funny if Hitler was still free at the end of WWII to give propoganda speeches before he retired to the ranch, and the worst he got was a fucking shoe thrown at him?

Children are orphans. People are without limbs. Brain damaged. Dead. Children sold into the sex trade.

And, that is just Iraq.

I don't know this country anymore. Maybe I never did.

2. I hope Obama's SS detail is better than Bush's.
But as interesting as that was, I will not be satisfied until Bush, Cheney and the rest of the mass-murdering war criminals are in chains, ready for that final punishment at The Hague.

6. And you missed the point too, didn't you?
Don't you remember those protests where pairs of boots were lined up, one pair for each American soldier killed in Bush's war?

That didn't get anyone's attention. Two thrown shoes did.

You not only "don't know this country anymore," you don't know how to communicate or make an effective protest. Still boots don't go anywhere. Thrown shoes do.

7. There's no such thing as attempted assault.
Edited on Sun Dec-14-08 05:14 PM by BullGooseLoony
That was assault- a plain old assault. He put Bush in fear of his safety.

No battery because the shoes didn't touch him.

8. Frankly, I don't think I'll be satisfied
until we see Bush, Cheney, et al., dangling from lamp posts by their heels.

So obviously, I'm never going to be satisfied. I just don't see justice for the world forthcoming with respect to this murderous cabal.
