The Vicious Cycle of Moonbat Inspiration
Muntader al-Zaidi, the obnoxious ingrate who demonstrated how free Iraq has become by throwing his shoes at President Bush, was inspired by Western moonbattery, as you may have read:
A day after the incident, al-Zeidi's three brothers and one sister gathered in al-Zeidi's simple, one-bedroom apartment in west Baghdad. The home was decorated with a poster of Latin American revolutionary leader Che Guevara…
…just like an Obama campaign office.
Now al-Zeidi has influenced Western moonbats in turn, inspiring yet another lame spectacle by peace activists in DC yesterday. From a Code Pink press release:
In solidarity with an Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at George W. Bush at a Baghdad press conference Sunday, peace activists will gather outside the White House with bags of shoes representing Iraqis and U.S. soldiers who have died since the Bush Administration's illegal invasion of Iraq.
They aim to show support for Iraqi journalist Muntader al-Zaidi, who hurled his shoes at President Bush while he spoke at the conference on his "surprise" visit to discuss the war. Al-Zaidi is currently being held by Iraqi police and questioned on his actions. The peace activists are calling on the Iraqi government to release al-Zaidi without charges and have set up a fund to support him and his family.
TSO at This Ain't Hell was on hand for the event, and reports that journalists outnumbered protestors 3:1, as you can see here:
Among the handful of angry moonbats was the indefatigable Medea Benjamin, seen here with her mouth open as always:
When the cycle of Muslim-moonbat influence comes around again, Iraqi left-wing camera whores will start dressing in pink.
On tips from Burning Hot, who knows who they ought to be throwing shoes at in Iraq, and Stephen B. Hat tip: Nice Deb.

Another stupid display of moonbat stupdidy like when those gun control freaks displayed the shoes of kids supposedly killed by guns and of course the liberal left-wing lap dog news news media carried this whole thing out as always. SOMEONE SHOULD THROW A BOOT AT EMPORER PALPATINE OBAMA

People should start dumping their old shoes in front of abortion clinics.

After five years of "nation-building" and "democratization" in Iraq, Ay-Rabs stay Ay-Rabs and express their feelings in the most mature and sophisticated way they can think of: throwing shoes. Makes you wonder what we wasted all those good American lives for.
Not because, as those unquestionably patriotic souls say, it was "immoral to invade another country" (heck, ever since invading ours and toppling two towers in the process, that's fair game), but because I really, really don't see any good come out of it. We should have invaded an oil-rich I-slime-ic country, taken all its oil, so as not to have to fund the global Whabbi petrodollar project, and then gotten the heck outta there, leaving the Sunni, Shia and all other same-shlock-different-name groups to duke it out among themselves, leaving us free to care for the home front, which is now at the mercies of the newly-elected Bolshevik regime.
Sorry for that mile-long run-on sentence. I'm just pissed off to the extreme lately.

Summer of love throw backs.......TRAITORS ALL OF THEM!!! I wonder how far these pinkos could walk down the streets of Bagdad with out being shot!STUPID, TRAITOROUS, HYPOCRITICAL, AND LIBERAL PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!
We should deport these assholes out of the country....they don't deserve the freedoms and rights that real AMERICANS enjoy. NOW I'M PISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH by the way.....SCREW THE MEDIA...leftist assholes why don't they report something news worthy rather than reporting garbage such as this?
AAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!! (I'm yelling)
Hey Spurwing please don't stoup to the leftists level, you are much better than that. I don't like The O either but we all should respect the office of the Presidency reguardless of who is in the oval office. Dissent without violence.

they don't deserve the freedoms and rights that real AMERICANS enjoy.
they do too!!!
rights do not come from the state, and so the state cant withold rights..
HOWEVER, no one has a right to a lot of things, and those things are fair game.
we either work within the framwork, or the framework disappears and whatever might makes will be right.
there is a lot of perks we get that are not rights... and so whjile they shuold not lose their rights, since we have no authority as a state to take them, they can lose their other perks..
like drivers licences, or welfare... perhaps school aid... etc.
which hurts more, shutting them up by taking away freedom of speech and pushing subversives underground.. OR letting them make the choice of whether they want to be productive member of this society and get the perks (rights are not perks), and other things that do come with it?
how else would you get people who think entitlements are rights to learn the difference :)

The body of the article says journos outnumbered protesters 3:1. Looks more like 6:1. Am I looking at that right, are there only FOUR protesters? How pathetic, they sent out a press release for that?

Lots of moonbattery footwear (sandals). Of course, there's a pair of Birkenstocks. They all look smelly.
Posted by: Karin at December 18, 2008 12:13 PM
All those shoes reminds me of the old ODER EATER tv ads one a little dog carries in some guys slippers and sits up the guy takes off his shoes the dog faints or another where these people are on a stage coach some woman is admiring some guys boots he take a boot off and everybody including the lady jump off the stage coach

I know this is redundant, but I can't over the press release sent out by Code Pink. It makes it sound like throngs and masses of people screaming their demands. It's as if I sent out a press release: "Attention! Karin and three of her friends will be going out to lunch now."
Code Pink says they've also set up a fund for that guy. How much do they have? $1.69?
Posted by: Karin at December 18, 2008 2:42 PM
Just wait till they upgrade to bricks. I couldn't help but notice the message on poster they had. "For the widows, orphans, and those killed in Iraq." Whoever is making their slogans needs to take writing classes. It should be "For the widows, orphans, and others whom have been killed in Iraq." Without the "others whom have been", it sounds like widows and orphans are in a different, more general, catagory then "those". Sorry if My explination doesn't make much sense.

Actually, the guy was a Baathist. A card carrying Saddam supporting party member. He's not happy with Bush cause he lost power...and now all the victims of his party want him dead.
He is one of the few made less free by Bush...and for good damn reason.

consertiveteen,
You're too intelligent for these clowns.
We're with you, but the code pinkos and that ilk are sooooo far below. Your thinking and adroitness at grammar is quite beyond them.
Lets not get into syntax and spelling.
btw, Howzabout a fund for OUR guys and gals?
Oh yea, they're real heros.
I take you are a "teen" therefor, I have hope for the future.
