Iraqi journalist turns tables on shoe thrower

A protester who presented himself as an Iraqi journalist in exile hurled a shoe Tuesday at the colleague who one year ago found fame hurling his own footwear at then US president George W. Bush. Television reporter Muntazer al-Zaidi was in Paris to promote his campaign for the "victims of the US occupation in Iraq" when a fellow Iraqi critic turned the tables on him, shouting: "Here's another shoe for you" before throwing his shoe. The missile was thrown hard at Zaidi's head, but he managed to dodge it and it bounced harmlessly off a curtain erected behind the speakers by the event's hosts, the Foreign Press Welcome Centre in Paris.Duration: 01:47

Obvously and with little need for comment Muntadhar al-Zaidi is a global hero. He had the courage to do with any number of US citizens or citizens of the rest of the world would have done had they had the opportunity and the courage. George Bush and his cabinet as well as any number of US military and CIA personnel are war criminals only awaiting the courage of Muntadhar to be prosecuted. Long live Muntadhar!

@tomthebomb77 Um, nothing you've said has been validated. You've just tried personally insulting me the whole time. The only way to 'validate' yourself is if you come up with some way to prove I'm some 'whacky conspiracy theorist' with 'his boyfriend's dick in his mouth', and all that other playground shit you spewed. :)

That's all you've blathered; that's all you have to try validating. However, I'm done amusing myself with your ignorance. You were fun, bro. :)

@Myxril You continue to validate my argument.
