Code Pink, the anti-American 'peace group' that supports terrorists and President-elect Barack Obama, held a demonstration in front of the White House this morning in support of the Iraqi terrorist, Muntader al-Zaidi, who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush at a press conference with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in Baghdad last weekend.
The group threw shoes at a demonstrator dressed as President Bush in prison stripes as part of their protest:

Code Pink is holding similar demonstrations supporting violence against President Bush today in Los Angeles and Berkeley.
Code Pink co-founder and top Obama financier Jodie Evans said of the protests and violence against President Bush:
"It's outrageous that al-Zaidi could get two years in prison for insulting President Bush, when Bush is directly responsible for the deaths of 1.5 million Iraqis and 4,200 U.S. troops, and 5 million displaced Iraqis," says Jodie Evans of CODEPINK. "The one who should be in jail is George Bush, and he should be charged with war crimes."
The Associated Press ate it all up and regurgitated Code Pink's pro-terrorist propaganda.
Code Pink has publicly endorsed the terorists in Iraq and works with state sponsors of terrorism including Iran, Syria and Cuba. They worked with the terrorist government of Saddam Hussein before Iraq's liberation and has prolonged the conflict in Iraq by supporting the terrorists and other anti-Iraqi freedom elements.
Jodie Evans donated thousands of dollars to Barack Obama's presidential campaign, co-hosted an early breakthrough fundraiser for him, was listed as a bundler for his campaign and met with him many times during the primary and general election seasons.
A shoe-in for the lamest event yet connected to the ‘toss’ heard round the Arab world.
Well, I think the shoe incident wasn’t a terrorist attack and you are over reaching quite a bit.
At most it was assult, with a form of free speech thrown in.
And given Bush’s recent turn to lick the boots of his socialist masters a lot here are pretty angry with our new socialist president George W. Bush.
Yes, all Cult of Personality bushbots flame away. Obama’s cult has nothing on you guys who view Bush as having done no wrong.
Yesterday someone said Bush would be on Mt. Rushmore. Not that’s funny.
BDS, political porn.
It’s addicting.
Take their shoes and like the Boston Bruins did against Ranger’s fans, slap them silly with them.
As it turns out,apparently the guy wasn’t even an Iraqi.
Somehow I knew you’d support Code Pink.
It’s getting worldwide media coverage and undermining support for our efforts to win the war on terror. Laugh it off if you will, but it’s that attitude on our side that helped give us President-elect Obama.
Obama and Terrorist Supporting 'Peace Group' Code Pink Sanctions Violence Against President BushNo one said the shoe incident was a terrorist act, only that Code Pink supports terrorists, which they do, and the story made that case (next to the last para).
Now, on your other point...I think YOU are over reaching quite a bit. I don't believe I have seen ANYONE on here make the statement that Bush has done no wrong. Must be that pesky lack of reading comprehension problem you have again.
D.C. Chapter Master Ping List
Code Pink at it again. But it looks like they attracted more biased media then protesters.
All code pinko members please insert your shoes in your own a@#!....
Laugh it off if you will, but it’s that attitude on our side that helped give us President-elect Obama.

Who is laughing it off?
What got us Obama has little, imo, with an attitude you would project on others over this shoe toss.
btw, You see where NATO is against sending more US troops to Afghanistan? Talk about who’s undermining the WoT, try our own EUrabian “allies”... and not just those you have in your sights on the left and here.
Let’s not believe all we hear on MSM about the Iraqi’s protesting. I mean 17 million Iraqis and maybe 1000 protestors, also I think the civilized or the common Iraqi realizes the freedom they have now.
They realize if he al Zaidi dude had thrown his shoe at Saddam he would have been in front of a firing squad within 5 minutes, or a wood chipper if it was handy.
I would be annoyed if this happened to Obama after January 20th, 2009, and would expect law and order with regard to what should be done.
Free speech? Have at it ~ and go to jail for your free speech, if it’s against the law
The shoe thrower doesn’t need to be thrown down a flight of steps, or put in Gitmo. He needs to be prosecuted as the law requires.
Nothing more. Nothing less. Don’t know why that is so difficult in this day and age?
I am convinced that Jodie and Medea know the shoe tosser.
Raving, slow down and increase your meds and take a deep breath. This is the qoute from the first part of the post.
“in support of the Iraqi terrorist, Muntader al-Zaidi, who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush at a press conference with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in Baghdad last weekend.”
So as you see you left out the part I was referring to. And to the other retard that said I was supporting Code Pink I do bnot support what they stand for.
But I will give them this, they get off their butts and take it to the streets to get their message across.
While republicans whine and blog and do NOTHING as our liberty is being taken away.
I did indicate what he did is assualt and free speech, but not terrorism as the writter claims.
