Hippie throws shoe at John Howard - Q & A

[LankDogEd]

John Howard was the greatest thing that ever happened to this country. Put simply,.. if you cant see this then you are an uneducated twat. I could list a multitude of excellent reforms, policies and decision he made as PM... I challenge anyone to name a single successful thing the recent Labor government has done... OTHER than dumping Kevin "the dud' Rudd

[mabyehaveajam145TCE]

@schneke1 oh really??!!

[megadak123]

to all you Labor lovers with your dickhead fat whore for a mum and fat cu.nt for a Dad who had their dole bludging streak cut by Howard,I hope Labor and Gillard bury your ass in new taxes and more and more Debt because this country is finished,and so are you Labor Green voting dumb shits! You cant think you just love hating Howard for all of Labors Debt he had to pay off!!! The man fixed this country,and now we're fu.cked up under Dudd and the Dudd that replaced Dudd,GAME OVER AUSTRALIA

[mabyehaveajam145TCE]

@megadak123 WOW!! hahahahaha dude you are fuc.king hilarious!! You just insulted no one!! i don't think anyone could ever take you seriously :P

[megadak123]

@mabyehaveajam145TCE another new tax today for you today dickhead!

[LoonYLegionnaire]

John Howard was the best PM.

That stupid hippy is probably just angry at him , The shoeless moron hippy is just angry at howard becase he bought in the "Work for the dole" scheme ....

[SanctumStudios]

Easily the best PM ever!

[QuirkyGirl12345]

How Australian was the second bit?!

Woman: You got blood on your hands!!

Audience: Get out.... Just GET OUT!!!!

[QuirkyGirl12345]

Disappointed Australia.....

VERY Disappointed.....

Surely we can aim better than that..... {(o)}

[snow99758]

That hippie needs to be sent off to Afghanistan and then he can stand up for his cause.Mind you if his accuracy is as bad firing a gun as his shoe throwing he'll be home in a in no time.AS for his feral paertner, well she should join him.Love or Hate Howard, along with the stewardship of Costello his Government left this country in a finacial position that was able to withstand the so called GFC. So Labor need to stop crowing about how they saved us...it was Howard that saved us!

[soulbeard]

He has balls, he stood by a decision he had to make, and then when physically attacked for it he didn't flinch and smiled it off, on ya Mr Howard. I don't hear much said in here about how prosperous the economy was, how his government helped the 1st home buyer or families with a lump payment on the birth of a child. He certainly helped my family.

[hotandspicy666]

I like Howard. I totally get the shoe throwing thing (see Bush)....but...and a BIG BUT....if you're not going to make it better than the original...DON'T DO IT...OKAY? This guy was piss weak...he threw it like a friggin, unconvincing school girl. Seriously? And secondly...if you're gonna protest...come up with something original and a little more 'surprising'...use your wit and incorporate some drama. And have a solid arguement and reason for doing it? I dunno...dress up like a refugee (lol)?

[NewcastleCal]

@ihaveairlockers He is called "Mad Hatter Katter" for a reason. He's fucking insane. You would think he's from the Deep South of the USA and supported George Bush

[rgriffingallagher]

lol.. what a douche! You think he went to IRAQ? or even served? or even had a job!!!? lol

[bremneshatten]

@rgriffingallagher

You're right. Mr Howard has never had a real job. He's been a pollie since 1973! This guy has been living the high life for years. He doesn't know what is is like to be bring up a family in the real world. He lives on la la land. Hence is misguided decision to listen to George W and go to war for nothing.

[altstic]

and if he was a real hippie he wouldnt have any shoes!

[jackskatess]

Should have thrown a brick.

[somerandomkhunt]

Why did that hippy throw his shoes on the ABC set?

Those guys don't get paid much and they don't need to be picking up smelly boots that have been worn continuously for 6 months, imagine all the fungus, ewwwww.

[ihaveairlockers]

Howard never went outside of the city.

He took all the law abiding gun owners guns away.

He lied and was deceitful.

I'm definately not a Labor supporter but we could do without John Howard and his style of Adolph Hitler Politics.

And we could do without Mr Rabbit as well, he personally created a fund of 3million dollars to destroy Pauline Hanson. How's that for Democracy ey ?

If your opponent is popular then just destroy them, that's Abbott!

Never forget it !

I love Robert Katter !!!!

[dadaddymak]

if the majority of Australia worship this little clown john howard then i think we are beyond the point of No return..May God have Mercy on us All

[rhettpeter83]

he's not a hippie, hippies don't wear shoes. Just a humanitarian who can't throw for shit.

[hendrix0is0lord]

FUCK HOWARD!!!

[dadaddymak]

@hendrix0is0lord i 2nd that

[mabyehaveajam145TCE]

@hendrix0is0lord i third that FUCK HOWARD AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

[Lieu3C4]

What a lying little bastard John Howard is - deliberate obsfucation on the asylum seeking children overboard question - no question but that his Government did know before the election no children were thrown overboard - let alone the gratuitous self-congratulatory triumphalism in an election won by a slim margin if not indeed by gerrymander.

[AccordionManiac]

WHERE'S THE APPLAUSE FOR THE THROW?

[MrAntiFarLeft]

Se now the result of this is that ill probably never cross paths with that Saddam defending hippy filth , so im going to have to go out later today and find a hippy and for the next 5 minutes pretend its him.....and it will be the shoe throwers fault.

then im off to the pub to hoist a coldie to the best PM of the past 40 years.

[mabyehaveajam145TCE]

@MrAntiFarLeft Best PM? man, that's just sad.... it was probably gough whitlam

[MrAntiFarLeft]

@mabyehaveajam145TCE that idiot who said Australia does not need a defence force.....HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPP­PPPPPP!

[mabyehaveajam145TCE]

@MrAntiFarLeft no ones going to attack australia!? we're a tiny country with no money and one submarine that seems to protect the whole country. Gough whitlam made uni free

[MrAntiFarLeft]

@mabyehaveajam145TCE uni is not free in case you didnt know.

[chavrecycler]

@MrAntiFarLeft It was when I went. What about you, MrAntifa?

[mabyehaveajam145TCE]

@MrAntiFarLeft well it was in th 70's til malcom fraser changed it back :(

[mabyehaveajam145TCE]

@MrAntiFarLeft yeah coz they changed it back straight after they chucked him out

[dadaddymak]

I wish someone would just kill john howard once and for all TO GET HIM OUT OF OUR FACE..then again his just an old pile of rotting racist shit .

[Mollarooza]

@dadaddymak When people loose the argument they usually pull out the race card

[dadaddymak]

@Mollarooza Lol What ever Lmao his a Racist ...Deal wit it !!!!

[Alanamra]

they should have arrested the thrower and forced him to get a hair cut (and a real job to boot)

[yourboringshutup]

To all you narrow minded people out there. NZ & Australia went to war against a genocidal dictator. The fact that the establishment of a new democratic government in Iraq was bungled by the US does not give people licence to blame John Howard for all civilian deaths since the invasion. In hindsight I’m sure a lot of thing would have been done differently but all you leftist sycophants never seem to have the ability to grasp that leaders make tough calls and they don’t always work out as hoped.

[Digdigs2]

Look at his smile!!! Howard is thinking - yeah, now I'm just like Bush... I have shoes thrown at me! Licking his rear all those years was worth it!

[robertbaldie7]

Who throws a shoe, honestly?

[TheDarkened]

@robertbaldie7 Who throws a shoe, honestly? You fight like a woman! Hahaha!

[rossstuart100]

@robertbaldie7 well, apparently a hippie!

[mabyehaveajam145TCE]

@rossstuart100 man if you watched the rest of it you would've seen his awesome dreads but yeah maybs not meh......

[ddmmhh100]

war criminal

[haylele]

Howard deserved a lot more then that, a whole closet full with heels would be nice, that man does have blood on his hands. He can rave how much he and Costello "saved" us from recession, but he sat on that surplus, cutting from every section including health 100 million a year - when they whould have been putting money into it, not caring about jobs, training and education, infrastructure, selling off assets like Telstra. Labor were adding to it before the Global Financial Crise stiked.

[kkg76]

@haylele the howard government reminds me of a 'big fat ceo' of a large cooperation who quietly collected the dollars at the expense of everyone else (in this case it was the citizens of australia!)

[dilligafisland]

Is anybody shocked about this? O'course this was going to happen. This was a setup by the ABC. The Q&A audience is 99.9% Labor and Greens every week. I think Mr Howard did a brilliant job answering all the pre scripted questions from Prime minister Bob Brown and Dept Gillard. I think that Hippie Bum should go and have a wash, get a hair cut and get a job! I am sick of having to support these bums who's days are spent pulling cones in Ninbin or Newtown. Ps David Hicks Rot in Hell you Traitor.

[kkg76]

@dilligafisland Hmmmm...Q & A 99.9% Labour and Greens huh? Then that Must make Chanel 7 & 9 news and their boring breakfast morning shows 99.9% right wing! Perhaps it was staged but hey if it gets people debating issues then that is great!

And, the fact that John Howard was independantly being interviewed allowed him to voice his opinions without the reflecton of other panelists.

[binnsie9779]

Hippies don't deserve shoes. Or oxygen.

[IpostJesus]

@binnsie9779 john howard doesn't deserve oxygen

[NewhamMatt]

This was a stupid action and Howard handled it well. There are ways to disagree with a person in a democracy - especially a person of a position that Howard held - and this isn't it. Regardless of how you feel about Howard, quit acting like it's the 1960's and being loud or rude enough will somehow make you more right than the other guy.

[bulger2504]

@NewhamMatt Also, if you're going to do something that stupid, one could at least come up with an original idea.

[NewhamMatt]

@bulger2504 I think the point was that we would immediately draw comparisons with the Bush incident. That was in a different place with different customs, and the man in question had been directly affected by Bush's actions. I don't condone that man's actions either, but I can at least see a reason for them. This guy is just another look-at-me anti-authoratarian. I personally am not anti-authority - it forces me to always disagree with the other guy.

[systemication]

Wohoo 2nd to comment. I wish that shoe hit his face but his even then his eyebrows wouldn't protected him.

[chazro13]

they "shoed" out that hippy pretty quickly once he threw his shoes at the old guy.
