Do these people look at themselves in the mirror, ever???

Everyone’s at fault but them.

If they were smart, they wouldn’t use a gesture that doesn’t really translate in the Western World (besides assault), but rather throw eggs or flip off. That’s something westerners understand.

This, this is just dumb, sort of like wishing them Merry Christmas!

Funny how we never see Muslims protesting against other Muslims who have “hijacked” their religion.Nor do you ever see them outraged when innocent Muslim blood is shed like in Bombay.How about when they circumcise their women. Or when they hide weapons in Mosques.No these dopes come out to riot over cartoons. Muslim men are spineless jellyfish and can only fight the innocent. Go men. LOL

That guy looks more like Obama that it does of Bush.

Just look at the dark color of his skin, hair and the huge ears.

He “acted on behalf of millions of oppressed Iraqis” ??

So who would be the oppressor of all these poor Iraqis? Certainly not the US. In spite of everything we do to get them to act civilized they continue to fight and kill each other often as not over insignificant differences in religion.

Sounds like the usual Marxist babble we hear from our own so called journalists. And especially Marxists like Ayers and Davis, 2 of Pres-elect’s fondest mentors.

This “journalist” has a picture of Che Guevarra hanging on the wall in his room that was shown by his brother. That tells the real story. His idol is a communist murderer associated with Fidel Castro.

They had two choices, pelt the effigy or be stoned do death.

Monkey see monkey do. Muslims never have an original thought anymore. It’s like watching an episode of Jackass.

I remember seeing Iranians in the street burning an American flag in 1980, after the Khomeini revolution. I was with freinds and we found this irritating. Then one of the protestors was on camera for an interview. Asked if he hated Americans, he said: “No! No! We like the American people! But the American people do not know what their governemnt does around the world.” Judging by the comments posted here, after nearly three decades, the American people remain as ignorant as ever.

America is the greatest country in the world, these savages are lucky they even have shoes. If they had as much brains as we do they would get down on their knees and pray to us for having given them shoes, well, they just bite the hand who feeds them, we should stop giving them all the foreign aid then they would not even have towels to put around their heads.

I wonder what would happened to the shoe thrower if he had done it to Saddam? humh, I wonder.

Not surprising; Iran is a country that freely elected a President who denies the Holocaust and wants to destroy Israel.
