awesome, even in Iraq, Bush is receiving bad publicity, that's what Bush deserved. I am hereby asserting the first, you cannot detain me for this, George walker bush and conservative republicans alike, you will never get my vote. in order to became "a more perfect union" we must move forward and not go back into the past, when we do, nothing good can result..
he is a faggot needs to get attention fuck you u deserve to die even if bush is an asshole u need to respect em that faggot has never ever learned of diplomatic he is just a scum terrorist
@070bina070 bush lost my respect whenever we went into the depression, respect is a privilege to politics and they need to show that they deserve my respect and maintain that. for all you who know where bush lives and want to kidnap him steal his newspapers or whatever he has lying out on his yard, i support all of you, heck, i would support you even if you kill him, just don't commit arson. tell everyone, George bush is the Antichrist of the decedent of the Antichrist.
I certainly don't disagree with the message this guy was trying to send at all. This guy represents one of the courageous few that stood up during that time, able to pierce the Iron Curtain of US media.
HOWEVER It could be cultural or an issue with the translation, but to me he seems a bit full of himself... and if this had been any another regime he would have been executed.
UN = incompetent corrupt fools (established by ROCKERFELLER)
American people = they simply don't care and haven't since 1913. The inbreds running the planet into the ground with their fiat money system should really start learning to count. We might witness a global french revolution.
To Elected Politicians around the world - Well do ya feel lucky PUNK ?
How many insane rich fuckers fucking up the planet - its under a 100,000
How many pissed off sheople who lost everything following the rule of law
Billions
I suggest we put the inbreds in a chipper then use their guts to stuff up the well head. Start with George Bush the war criminal, move on to the Kenyan.
This man is so right...."If the US invaded Canada....Canada would resist...Why it is surprising when Iraq is resisting?" Muntadhar Al-Zaidi (man who Shoed Bush)
Did you know that it's possible to symbolically "throw your shoes" at a public official or even at an illegal military occupation by simply addressing the soles and taking them to the Post Office? It depends upon the weight of the shoe but usually will cost somewhere around $3 to $4 to mail a shoe to the President or another public official. Check out "Throw Your Shoes at the Occupation".
@ZerqTM He needed the motivation to overcome the fear of death and separation from the good things of life. Exactly what keeps me from doing any thing brave !
I thingk that his action actually reflected the feeling that not only many Iraqies has towards President Bush but also the feelings of many Americans towards Bush. I know when I found out about what he did...I thought is was great....
I felt sad when he said his pen wasn't reaching far enough. It's true. The U.S. is bombarded with patriotic propaganda. They like to hide the other side of war.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This scumbag shows us what's so dangerous about Muslims. Every hurt, slight or defeat becomes a humiliation for which only violence is a proper response. That's why they murder their wives and daughters when they "humiliate" them.
This scumbag thought he was going to be killed that day. If he had done this to Saddam, he and his whole family would have been raped or tortured in some way and then murdered. Now his country is free and so is he.
@vladimir998 You are right. violence is not a good response. So why did America attack Iraq and continues to occupy Iraq under threat of violence? In fact, why does America need so many troops there fully armed committing violence all the time? How much of America's industry is tied to machines/people which commit violence? And here you are complaining about someone that threw a show. What a big hypocrite!
@saadasim The COALITION attacked Iraq because it was dangerous and there were more than a dozen UN resolutions against Iraq. The COALITION no longer occupies Iraq but is there working with an elected government which wants it there for the time being. The COALITION does not commit "violence all the time." Most of the troops are in a support role and many build hospitals, roads, schools, bridges, clinics, farms, etc.
@vladimir998 Why did you delete your original post about the futility of violence? I didn't realize that we needed so many armed troops in Iraq to build schools, bridges, etc.
HELL YEAH! You are a true Iraqi, you were living a great life, but you choose to risk your life and success to stand up for your people's belief's. Fight the US imperialist! Show them they can't fool the world with their bullshit propaganda.
waaw, holy fack. thats crasy to hear this guy's story. not the way i would have done things, but dafinatedly hat's off to his courige. and most mportantly appretiations for the laughs. : )
I'm glad Mr. Al-Zaidi found a way to show his and his fellow Iraqis disgust and frustration of the US occupation that made headlines the world over! I'm also glad he didn't get killed for what he did because what he did is honorable and commendable!
@1BustedMyth I would fight to keep the secret service off this man and say bush deserved that, and if they detain me, at least the public knows that even Americans off the middle and lower classes despise George "Satan" Bush. Bush and Rick Perry are and always will be the Antichrist, they do not care for the citizens that are not rich. the old saying "majority rule" applies only in the voting sessions, but with activists, congress goes onto "MINORITY rule"
@1BustedMyth amen, bush should of been impeached but the stupid "majority rule" prevented the act, anyone who was even arrested for trying to kidnap bush has my support. bush SHALL DIE IN VAIN. tax breaks for the wealthy? only those who live in riches supported him. bush nearly killed this country on the economic level. bush and all conservative republicans are scum and should be live shark bait. liberals are the only ones support. i would have levied the heavier taxes on the wealthy.
It is better to die than to surrender one's dignity as a human being. In standing up and taking action, this man had the courage to defend, not only his own dignity, but the human dignity of millions of Iraqis who were being lied to, killed, and abused. He is a hero.
Bush has blood on his hands of millions of innocents killed. All LIES and for the most part few Americans see it.
The cow licks the hand of the farmer before it is shot in the head. What is the excuse for Americans? They believe their politicians .... all the way to the slaughter house.
Mr. Muntadhar Al-Zaidi has shown the way. He is a hero.
@EVILTRIPS666 To an extent I agree with you. The America media propaganda machine is very crafty and adept at keeping the public asleep. However, blaming others (a typical American virtue), is hallow as most Americans are complicit. It wouldn’t take but a few days to notice the constant lies from the U.S. politicians.
Even today with venues such as YT, it is easy to see the date stamp of the lie spoken and the opposite reality.
@iknownothingnow I agree that there is no excuse for ignorance but what is your goal? are you merely spreading awareness or do you have some kind of action plan? It seems to me that you are quite bright, what would YOU suggest as a collective plan (as citizen of Earth) we do? It is very hard to connect with single mothers holding down 2 or more jobs to feed their bastard children; and guess who is teaching those bastard's... . 'Sounds like they got them right where they want them.
@EVILTRIPS666 Yes there is a plan. It is not about griping it is about resisting
Throw out violent resistance because they have more guns and lawyers than all of us. And even though their desire is to enslave citizens by consent, it is possible to resist
There are examples where this has worked. U.S. civil rights movement, Ghandi
We are getting closer to a great awakening. Even Brezinski speaks about the fear of a global awakening
@iknownothingnow I would like to say that you make yourself no better than Hitler when you verbally condemn an entire group of peoples, (American people). And namecalling never gets anything done. While I am sympathetic to your situation, I am 1 of 400,000,000. The majority of America is like me, so to speak out against such a large group doesn't get you any more followers, it gets people angry. People who once were sympathetic now turn their backs because of comments like yours.
@happymand While I agree that a broad stroke stereotype of Americans is not accurate; indeed there are some – few – Americans that see the evil of the U.S. government. Sadly, you are not in the majority.
Using your analogy of Hitler, there were some in Germany at the time that believed he was evil. However most were asleep and like sheep followed him to mass murder. This is the same today. Mass murder perpetuated by U.S. with what excuse?
@iknownothingnow See I'm assuming you don't live in America, so you're probably just fed anti-American propaganda, just like we are fed anti-Islamic information. What you probably haven't noticed is that even in 2006, when polled, 55% or Americans thought the war in Iraq was a bad idea, and 59% wanted the troops to come home. These numbers have increased significantly since then. In summary, before you go American bashing, try to be a little open-minded, and not so categorical.
@happymand I agree w/ your numbers: 55% thought the war in Iraq was a bad idea, 59% wanted the troops to come home. Also 90% of the Americans didn’t want the stimulus that paid for the banksters failures.
So what are these numbers saying? Americans are told that they have a representative government. Told to have peace you need to have war. To save capitalism you must embrace socialism. The terrorist are them, they’re not like us
Told to fight ideas that are trying to help you wake up
@iknownothingnow Ha I don't know about the socialism part, because here that is like a curse word. But yeah, there are a lot of Americans that think that the content of one's character is defined by the color of their skin. But honestly, the only thing you should be bashing is our news. Specifically FOX News. I would say it is probably the most biased channel in the "free" world, and absolutely the most biased in America. Watch FOX News, and you will see why many Americans have these views.
I agree with you that FOX news is propaganda. But they are no different than CNN, MSNBC and other news stations. You have to get the news outside of the U.S. to understand what is going on inside of the U.S.
The TRNN series “The Man the Shoed Bush” positions the premise for Americans to change - if they want to. If the politician lies, they get a shoe to the face. Doesn’t matter D or R or news station spin. Lies kill, steal and destroy.
@iknownothingnow I'm not sure if I can disagree with you more.That's like saying, white people know more about black people and hispanics because they are white. Or that rich people know what's best for poor people. One know little to nothing about U.S. unless you are actually here. I'd be interested to know what country you are actually from. No offense, but you sound a little high and mighty.
P.S. CNN is as unbiased as possible, because real news doesn't wish to alienate any viewers.
@happymand I cannot rely on any networks that are for any political party, i will not rely on NBC, ABC, or Fox for politics. CNN needs to be a channel available to everyone without cable/satellite powered television, does the Time Warner company have any free programs? because the only way you can be sure of who is president is watching full length interviews and fully interpreted. biased networks don't do that because they want to spread the word about their party and how great the candidate is
@happymand it's the stupid CONSERVATIVE republicans. and the idiots who cannot comprehend that politics throw out a lot of "hot air" meaning they don't deliver on all there promises. watch all news networks and look at it on all sides, and determine who the better one is. bush, each time I here that name, the word tyranny rushes done my spine. bush should have never gotten involved in politics. he has earned the hate of many Americans.
@Zeldagigafan90210 I mean yeah I agree with the Bush part. He kind of got lost in the job. I think he just got really confused after the first 2 years. I mean I think he tried to do right by the people, but just failed miserably. But yeah people who think Sarah Palin should be President can also go under the "idiots" category. My knees buckle every time someone throws their support for Palin '12.
My mouth fell open when I see Bush visiting Iraq. It's known all over the world that this man is a war criminal. protests in Canada when he was allowed in but Iraq. Truly insane.Should have arrested him. This man is RIGHT
You fucking hippy's are still talking about Bush when your Master Obama escalated the was to a whole different region ,,,,,,ROFL what a bunch of ass heads ..but 2 thumbs up to mister Al-Zaidi bush was a moron and seeing the shoe and Bush duck ...hahahahahaha great shit bro ,,,only reason bush could move that fast was all the time he spent hunting with Cheney.
Yes, this man will be remembered as one brave, righteous hero. Everybody who hasn't been brainwashed knows Bush was wrong-- even criminal -- to bring war to this unarmed country for it's oil.
@gringodeltoro1 Well, if CNN were in the business of telling the truth - they would. Viewership continues to drop as more people realize that all they are is a propaganda machine.
@anthonzi Do you live in Iraq? Then how the hell do you know?
Secondly, the comparison need not go farther than the word 'occupation' which you correctly use to describe both events. That's all al-Zaidi is saying, if you occupy, expect resistance.
Though I have to say, I disagree with al-Zaidi. The Americans already invaded Canada, on a daily basis, and there is little resistance. Kind of like boiling the frog if the frog is what it means to be Canadian.
@wilgarroba Thats' what I thought when he mentioned Canada. Just like Afghanistan we are getting a pipe across our country, working against our long term interest privatizing our natural resources with in the oil sands, and a puppet government caving at every turn, not to mention the whole sale of our water rights. Worst, we have a standing agreement with the US that the if there is an emergence in Canada the US forces can cross our borders to "help".
Good to know that Al-Zaidi is ok. I give him credit it has guts. Since then there are a lot scum bags so I suppose he has more opportunities to work on that aim. Can we get this guy into the White House press corp?
@gli96187 Love your comment. Wouldnt it be great that once a politician is caught in a lie, they get a shoe in the face! Maybe the sheeple would start waking up then.
@iknownothingnow Wouldn't that be a trip. It would make the news a bit more interesting to watch seeing congressmens, senators, WH press secretaries and other government officials get shoed.
if you guys think bush was the one behind this,,you might be surprised that i love bush, he is the man, the real bitch is conda lisa rice.

@iknownothingnow I'm not sure if I can disagree with you more.That's like saying, white people know more about black people and hispanics because they are white. Or that rich people know what's best for poor people. One know little to nothing about U.S. unless you are actually here. I'd be interested to know what country you are actually from. No offense, but you sound a little high and mighty.
P.S. CNN is as unbiased as possible, because real news doesn't wish to alienate any viewers.

@happymand I cannot rely on any networks that are for any political party, i will not rely on NBC, ABC, or Fox for politics. CNN needs to be a channel available to everyone without cable/satellite powered television, does the Time Warner company have any free programs? because the only way you can be sure of who is president is watching full length interviews and fully interpreted. biased networks don't do that because they want to spread the word about their party and how great the candidate is
Zeldagigafan90210 1 year ago
@happymand it's the stupid CONSERVATIVE republicans. and the idiots who cannot comprehend that politics throw out a lot of "hot air" meaning they don't deliver on all there promises. watch all news networks and look at it on all sides, and determine who the better one is. bush, each time I here that name, the word tyranny rushes done my spine. bush should have never gotten involved in politics. he has earned the hate of many Americans.
Zeldagigafan90210 1 year ago
@Zeldagigafan90210 I mean yeah I agree with the Bush part. He kind of got lost in the job. I think he just got really confused after the first 2 years. I mean I think he tried to do right by the people, but just failed miserably. But yeah people who think Sarah Palin should be President can also go under the "idiots" category. My knees buckle every time someone throws their support for Palin '12.

My mouth fell open when I see Bush visiting Iraq. It's known all over the world that this man is a war criminal. protests in Canada when he was allowed in but Iraq. Truly insane.Should have arrested him. This man is RIGHT

@anthonzi In the context of resisting a foreign power occupying another country, the analogy is just as valid as the others he used.
chocomalk 1 year ago 3
@anthonzi Do you live in Iraq? Then how the hell do you know?
Secondly, the comparison need not go farther than the word 'occupation' which you correctly use to describe both events. That's all al-Zaidi is saying, if you occupy, expect resistance.
Though I have to say, I disagree with al-Zaidi. The Americans already invaded Canada, on a daily basis, and there is little resistance. Kind of like boiling the frog if the frog is what it means to be Canadian.

@wilgarroba I know a refugee from Iraq. And I'm pretty sure that I have a good idea what it's like there.
anthonzi 1 year ago
@wilgarroba Thats' what I thought when he mentioned Canada. Just like Afghanistan we are getting a pipe across our country, working against our long term interest privatizing our natural resources with in the oil sands, and a puppet government caving at every turn, not to mention the whole sale of our water rights. Worst, we have a standing agreement with the US that the if there is an emergence in Canada the US forces can cross our borders to "help".
