Eric Navickas art gallery features Bush shoe-toss

Ashland City Councilor Eric Navickas and his partner Amy Godard opened an art gallery downtown on Jan. 2, 2009 with a carnival atmosphere. Visitors were given an opportunity to shoot shoes at the face of President George Bush using a large slingshot. The soles of the shoes were swiped with wet paint for a splattering impact.

Stupid hippies.

Mmmm this is obviously a touchy thing for Americans. For some cathartic for others it brings up fear and then anger. But for most... who cares

zzzzzzzzzzzz

The MAda Shell Gallery must be showing some pretty bad art to have to resort to such gimmicks. Don't be fooled by so called "artists". Being that Navickas is an idiot politician himself, it appears that he would condone the throwing of shoes at Ashland City Counsel meetings!

Eric...I'd like to see a picture of your mother up there and have the public sling their shoes at it. It's easy to target the President, how about some civility in recognizing that the job of President deserves respect even though you might not agree with his policies.

robinjenifer,

The fools are in Ashland, Oregon...thanks for your level-headed reaction...I wish there were more liberals like you here.

I'm a hard core Democrat and Obama supporter and I couldn't be more embarassed for you fools in Corvallis who think such a "fundraiser" is OK. Bush was a crappy President, no doubt, but you should show some respect for the office and your country.
