Sorry about the double post. I fixed “journalist” to “journalists” and thought I’d stopped the first upload.

Sorry that Dana Perino was hurt in the melee.

President Bush handled the incident in a strong, yet calm manner. Kept it from escalation into a larger confrontation.

The majority of Iraqi’s outside the Bathists are immensely better off now than they were when the butcher was in power

IMO, one of the best comments yet in regard to the shoe crisis.

President Bush carried himself very well with his defensive posture.

He's fast, and I am glad that he was not hurt in any way.

The Arabs are all bastards for applauding this behavior.

Once not too long ago, a woman like Dana Perino would have had her picture posted here by post #2.

Thank you for upholding Free Republic tradition.

I mean it. Post pictures of Ms. Perino anytime you like. :)

“Makes me wonder if they patted down these so called reporters before they came in. “

Think about your comment. Had they ‘patted down’ the perp, just what would they have found? A shoe!

I suspect it said ‘shirt and shoes’ mandatory on the door.

Fans were throwing debris and car keys at the Boston Bruins once, so they went into the stands. Peter McNabb took a guy’s shoe off and slapped him with it.

Clear example of why we need "common sense" shoe control laws.

I doubt there was a sign on the door saying shirt and shoes required. It was not a restaurant they were in.

I’ve got some outrage for you.

First, I’d like to stomp the shiite out of the POS. Then, hang him.

No, Mr. President, this was not “amusing.” It took Secret Service forever to get up to the podium and it took forever for anyone to try to restrain the asshat (I’m being nice) who assaulted our president. Aiming anything at someone’s head is intent to commit murder.

No, the response should have been on behalf of the American people, what was done was an insult to all our brave troops and their families who served and sacrificed in Operation Iraqi Freedom to bring democracy to a stinking, ungrateful hell-hole peopled by barbarians who, when they are liberated, attack the Commander in Chief of those who spent time and treasure, who shed blood, thousands who made the ultimate sacrifice, who DIED dammit, who tried to train and educate the most backwards people on the face of the earth to govern themselves. And, this is the result?!!

Don’t ever introduce me personally to ANY Iraqi, because they will hear the above and more.

After watching the video of the attack of the shoes, I was and still am shocked by the relative slowness of any response to the attacker. No rushing of the Secret Service, no pouncing by the military folks. Just a very slow response. Apparently, they felt Dana had the situation, and the attacker, under control.

It won’t be long before they tax the air we breathe. And the slaves will love it.

What in the world does “Subby is here for you” mean.

They're worse than worthless, imo. I have no use for them.

I'm glad the president ducked promptly. And, I do appreciate your tagline.
