Darth333 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 tk, I’m expremely disappointed in you. Throwing shoes at the President of the United States is not a laughing matter. The President deserves the world’s utmost respect and even his image should be treated with respect and dignity. I'm sure that Canada would grant asylum to "shoe-throwing terrorists" such as tk ... Did I get though that with a straight face? ...and you
Darth InSidious Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Personally, I think there was a third shoe thrown from a grassy knoll.
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Assuming Iraqi law is anything like US law _EW_ C'mon EW, American law is the benchmark against which all foreign laws must be measured against. You should know that. Aww **** how could I forget that? _EW_ heh you think iraqi law makes a difference
Mav Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Personally, I think there was a third shoe thrown from a grassy knoll. Ha! that's a conspiracy, everyone knows there is no grass in Iraq
mimartin Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Ha! that's a conspiracy, everyone knows there is no grass in Iraq America is bringing the Iraqi people Freedom, Liberty and Shrubbery.
Samnmax221 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Personally, I think there was a third shoe thrown from a grassy knoll. The Muppets killed Kennedy.
Tommycat Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 First off it can be considered assault even if it doesn't connect. Second, I thought this was the non-serious threads section. Third, it just shows that Republicans are pretty good at avoiding silly objects hurled at them(Pie and Anne Coulter at point blank range). at any rate, he's being tried in an Iraqi court by the Iraqi government, which, in a twist of irony, means he will get a lot less of a punishment than he would have gotten under Saddam for the same stunt.
EnderWiggin Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Second, I thought this was the non-serious threads section. Oh snap! _EW_
Adavardes Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 First off it can be considered assault even if it doesn't connect. *snort* >_> <_<
ForeverNight Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Actually, under the State of California's legal code, it's assault if the attempt is made. Yes, California does not provide the legal code for the Rest of the US and, by extension, Iraq. (Saying that we had a hand in forming it, not that it's a vassal state.) But, it is does provide a good starting point.
EnderWiggin Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Yes, California does not provide the legal code for the Rest of the US and, by extension, Iraq. Then why are you wasting our time and yours by saying something that's completely irrelevant to what occurred? _EW_
Q Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I wonder how the HiveMind would react to someone's chucking a shoe or two at Obama...
Adavardes Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Obama didn't rape a nation relatively unprovoked, kthx.
EnderWiggin Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I wonder how the HiveMind would react to someone's chucking a shoe or two at Obama... Just because I'm a liberal doesn't mean I don't think for myself, thanks. _EW_
Jae Onasi Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I believe Qliveur is referring to the media....
ForeverNight Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Then why are you wasting our time and yours by saying something that's completely irrelevant to what occurred? _EW_ Because, like I said, it does provide a good reference point, at least for the US and, by semi-extension, Iraq. Only reason I say Iraq is connected is because the US helped rebuild their nation and, thus, their Legal code, to an extent. ~~~ As to what Jae and Q have suggested... well, I almost think that there would be a holy war declared against Iraq, the way some people seem to revere Obama.... Oh well...
Q Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Obama didn't rape a nation relatively unprovoked, kthx. Give him time. The nation he rapes may be your own. Or not. "kthxbai."
jonathan7 Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 I wonder how the HiveMind would react to someone's chucking a shoe or two at Obama... Same way I responded to Bush, I mean come out, someone electing to throw a shoe, is a political act, not a I want to physically hurt you act; hence me thinking it comes under freedom of speech. Besides what was done to the guy, was far worse than what he did.
Q Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Yeah, I took it as a mostly symbolic gesture, myself. Nothing gets the point across like hurled footwear. I also heard that the guy was brutally beaten and/or tortured for what he did. He certainly did not deserve that. It's debatable whether or not he even deserved arrest. So much for progress. Now, why are we over there?
Jae Onasi Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 It's kind of hard to throw something at the President and not get arrested, unless it's the catcher at home base or something like that.
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Yeah, I took it as a mostly symbolic gesture, myself. Nothing gets the point across like hurled footwear. I also heard that the guy was brutally beaten and/or tortured for what he did. He certainly did not deserve that. It's debatable whether or not he even deserved arrest. So much for progress. Now, why are we over there? iraqi blood is like elf blood you can use it in potions and scribe scrolls with it.

Tommycat Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Obama didn't rape a nation relatively unprovoked, kthx. And how many days has he been in office? 0.0 He may find another country to rape relatively unprovoked.
