When Nikita Kruschev pounded his shoe on the negotiating table in the 1960’s the world was outraged at his barbaric behavior. Today a (supposedly unbiased) journalist throws his shoe at a world leader and where is the outrage?
Oh puke! The "greater meaning" is that there are rude, ungrateful people everywhere.
This reporter would be dead under Sadam’s rule for what he did. Aw the ungrateful clearly do not see the irony of their actions.
clearly assault charges due. Sue them too!

I wouldn’t have had a problem with the SS shooting the guy
“Today a (supposedly unbiased) journalist throws his shoe at a world leader and where is the outrage?”
1. If thrown at Bush, the reaction is apathy or jubilation. The instigator is regarded as a hero.
2. If thrown at Obama, the reaction would be collective horror. The instigator is regarded as a terrorist.
Makes me wonder if they patted down these so called reporters before they came in. Could just as easily been a gun or even a SHOE BOMB!!!

Frankly, this really Ps me off. So the jerk wanted to insult the President eh, how about he be sentenced to five years in a pig sty.

What would happen to this ungrateful, cowardly "journalist" had thrown his shoes at Saddam Hussein?
Here's a hint: Saddam's response would involve lots of torture and firing squads for the "journalist" and his entire family.
show=shoe
“lots of torture and firing squads for the “journalist” and his entire family”
And probably his entire village.
... and definitely the plastic shredder.
I hear the President executed the “Miyagi Wax Off” defense quite well. I want to see the video of this - a morning show host described his demeanor as the cool kid playing dodgeball: “Is that all you’ve got?”
And again, we see the utter incompetence of the kneepad “journalist.”

Where’s the pictures of the ‘shoe thrower’?
I heard it was either ‘Mad Dog’ Lawerence O’Donnell or Chris Matthews. I want pictures!
