But if someone had thrown something at him, I wouldn't have cheered.</p>daveMon, 15 Dec 2008 13:56:14 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/14/theLameDuckDucks.html#comment-4413437<p>Physical attacks on people are never cool. Carry a sign, stand up and scream, whatever. As soon as physical violence is part of a protest then I've got a problem. Weren't people just last week saying how bad it was when the Weather Undgerground blew up an empty office in the Pentagon? In this case the attack was against a human being, and at that, a very important human being, with huge symbolic value. I asked a bunch of questions about this on Twitter, I should probably have asked them here too. Will probably post shortly on this.</p>daveMon, 15 Dec 2008 13:55:26 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/14/theLameDuckDucks.html#comment-4413393<p>More defending our country than defending Bush, having our President humiliated like that, overseas, does not bode well for us. </p>daveMon, 15 Dec 2008 13:52:25 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/14/theLameDuckDucks.html#comment-4413215<p>I thought it was very funny. It wasn't as if it was bomb thrown at the President of the United States. Just someone who took off their shoes. I can't believe you are defending the Bush. He started the war in Iraq, and that was REALLY not cool. Throwing a pair of shoes in protest is fine, a good gesture in fact. That man may have had his family killed in the "war" for all we know. Good for him, and f**k the President. </p>TomMon, 15 Dec 2008 13:40:50 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/14/theLameDuckDucks.html#comment-4407844<p>"This is not cool" So what would be a legitimate (cool) form of protest? Perhaps if it had been a custard pie rather than shoes?</p>Julian BondMon, 15 Dec 2008 04:47:34 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/14/theLameDuckDucks.html#comment-4407601<p>He's just the president, not Jesus Christ - you are allowed to cheer for the shoe thrower</p>GwynMon, 15 Dec 2008 04:00:38 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/14/theLameDuckDucks.html#comment-4406530<p>May?????</p><p>There's the understatement of the year. :-)</p>Gary PetersenMon, 15 Dec 2008 02:12:31 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/14/theLameDuckDucks.html#comment-4404320<p>When real life imitates Austin Powers - you know things are bad.</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D5oKEVqQJg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D5oKEVqQJg">http://www.youtube.com/watc...</a></p>catwoodSun, 14 Dec 2008 22:30:56 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/14/theLameDuckDucks.html#comment-4404249<p>Honestly now - who throws a shoe?</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D5oKEVqQJg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D5oKEVqQJg">http://www.youtube.com/watc...</a></p>Chris AtwoodSun, 14 Dec 2008 22:22:37 -0000
