Raise your hand if you enjoyed/cheered when that guy threw a shoe at George W. Bush.
I did. You did. And you. And you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you, and also you.
So hush already about how bad hecklers are.
The idea that our leaders are not living gods who cannot be ruffled by the peons in the peanut gallery, and the idea that breaking through our scripted spoon-fed media reality with a well-timed shout can have positive side-effects, are healthy aspects of a free society. There are no hecklers in North Korea, and that's a bad thing.
Besides, you totally loved the shoe guy. There's probably lots of proof of that right here in the DU archives.
So.

The thread is ostensibly about the First Wookie's heckling incident, but becomes a wistful look back down Memory Lane.
BTW, someone should ask that guy why he never threw a shoe at Saddam Hussein. :shrug:

24. I laughed my ass off...
but fervently wished the guy had practiced first. Of course it might not have mattered, Shrub had a lifetime of experience dodging things.

29. Yes I totally loved the shoe guy!
Totally loved it and watched the video over and over again every time hoping Bush** would not duck.
I have no problem with hecklers, protests or any of that no matter who it is they are going after. You get in the game you must play it and they asked for the spot in a very messy game. I would have no problem with people coming after me if my husband was an official. It is part of the whole.

126. REC #100 = REC this thread if you wish you had throw a shoe at Bush!!
You know that if this happened to Obama, not only would they be calling for the death penalty for the thrower, but also a Secret Service investigation for everyone online who applauded it.

Never mind that it hit a woman. Why does the Democrat party hate women so?

Because some of them dare to think for themselves.
