Protester throws shoe at Pentagon adviser
Bradenton Herald ^ | Fri, Feb. 18, 2005 | RUKMINI CALLIMACHI

PORTLAND, Ore. - Howard Dean, the newly minted leader of the Democratic Party, and top Pentagon adviser Richard Perle made clear their opposing views on the war in Iraq during a debate marred by a protester who tossed a shoe at Perle.

Perle had just started his comments Thursday when a protester threw a shoe at him before being dragged away, screaming, "Liar! Liar!"

Perle, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's top policy adviser, was a key architect of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, and Dean is among the war's most prominent opponents.

I can't find the exact quote, but the clip they showed on the local news, Perle said something to the effect of, Luckily he(shoe thrower) isn't accurate with his throwing either.

LOL, this man was in his mid 50's also, I figured it would have been one of the liberal college radicals. I don't think the article mentions it, but during the debate there was a lot of booing and people screaming.

Of course, if one of us had thrown a shoe at Dean it would be front-page news in all the legacy media tomorrow, Al Qatie Qouric and the other usual suspects would deplore it on the air tomorrow morning, and it would still be featured in the Dem talking points for 2008.

Incidentally, in Islamic culture even exposing the soles of your shoes to someone is a deadly insult and actually hitting someone with a shoe far worse.
Coindidence?

Well, I mean, what did Perle say that caused this idiot to throw his shoe and scream "Liar!"?

No coincidence. It's a wannabe.

Can you imagine how barren your life must be for you to act out as a wannabe Islamic activist?

Yeesh.

It probably went something like "Hi, I'm Richard Perle..."

He was probably a radical college professor, and a card carrying member of the Socialist Workers Party.

Knowing the left, you're probably correct.

Amen to that. I live in Portland, and this town is overrun with those vermin. They are intolerably intolerant of what they perceive to be the intolerance of others. Anything to the right of extreme left is borderline Nazism to these Socialist dupes!

What was said by the shoe thrower and Deaniac was not just "Liar, Liar". The whole thing is on tape. Use your imagination. I hope the tape get wide viewing. I'm sure the MSM will bury it.

FYI, The shoe thrower's exact words were "Mother F--king Liar" This "Deaniac" shouted and screamed this all the time the Portland, Oregon police were dragging him of the debate hall. Also, this Dean DNC Chairmanship is going to be a hoot. Too bad none of the MSM will carry and show the tape. I have, early this morning, alerted FNC and some blog sites about this caper. We should really work to get this story out!!!

The MSM is, as usual, covering up for Howard Dean and his "traitor" Democrat Party!!! The actual screamed words by the shoe thrower were "Mother F--king Liar". Too bad the Portland press also does not state the true facts. Such is life in the "Big Brother" world of the Democrat "traitor/treason Party!!!

they did show a clip on the local news, i have searched their site and they haven't made it available. While searching, i came across a lefty at Kos that attended the Portland event. They are purely delusional. Here is the link http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/2/18/2535/72934 about half way down, in the comments section, another lefty also gives his first hand experience of the debate.

That's how I picked the info up. I read the guy's recap on KOS and a few KOS comments after it. I was surfing around the internet last night, reading all the Portland TV news stations reports, but could find nothing on the debate. Then when I entered Dean/Perle Debate in Google, it came up with a number of sites, and KOS was among them.

I knew that Howard Dean had tried to prevent the media from attending this event, and if you notice, Dean has not gone on the public/media airwaves since his appointment as the DNC Chairmen. I also figured his attempt at stiffing the media was an effort to board himself up in the closet and stay out of public reach. So, I was interested to see what would happen when Dean "The Scream" went public.

I was amazed that these morons at KOS were overjoyed that the idiot threw the shoe. But, that is today's current Democrat Party!!!
