Today an Iraqi Journalist Gave us a Powerful Symbol, Let's Use it!! GIVE WASHINTON "THE BOOT" (or shoe)

...and if I thought it would ever see the light of day, I'd be all for it.

Unfortunately, the complicit press would never report it and the sheep would never hear.

I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

sabotage or saboteur...

Sabotage is a term of French origin coined during the railway strike of 1910, when workers destroyed the wooden shoes, or sabots, that held rails in place, thus impeding the morning commute.[citation needed] An alternate definition claims the word to be older by almost a century, the times of Industrial Revolution. It is said that powered looms could be damaged by angry or disgruntled workers throwing their wooden shoes or clogs (known in French as sabots, hence the term Sabotage) into the machinery, effectively clogging the machinery. This is often referenced as one of the first inklings of the Luddite Movement. However, this etymology is highly suspect and no wooden shoe sabotage is known to have been reported from the time of the word's origin. [1] Others contend that the word comes from the slang name for people living in rural areas who wore wooden shoes after city dwellers had begun wearing leather shoes; when employers wanted strikebreakers they would import 'sabots'/rural workers to replace the strikers. Not used to machine-driven labor the 'sabots' worked poorly and slowly. The strikers would be called back to work (with demands won) and, could win demands on the job by working like their country cousins - the sabots. Thus 'sabotage'.

for sure he'll be labellled a terrorist, and be doing indefinite time in Abu Graib or Guantanamo.

Hey Nintendo, how about a new video game?

Later in the day in another interview, Bush stated that this was a sign that Iraqis now have the right to free speech. Of course the free speecher was arrested for speaking to freely, and was immediately awarded a free, all expense paid trip to the Guantanamo Bay Resort!

you wash any dog poop off of them first!

But if you forget to, just send them anyway!

To All,

This gesture gives us the nugget of what we need to do to peaceably to demonstrate our disgust. Instead of active action, we need to do so passively. What do you think of simply taking our shoes and lining them up in places that make an obvious and peaceful statement? Perhaps we could even put make posters of boots. It is such a simple, yet powerful symbol, I think it is a wonderful idea. I love the picture of boots carefully placed upon each step of each place where they torture our liberties and steal our freedoms. I'm ready to sacrifice a pair of my shoes right now!

Best Wishes,

Betty

Shoes for industry!
Shoes for defense!

How about a pallet from every County: COST $100 or less to ship + the shoes/boots

If someone here threw a shoe at the president they would be tazed or shot,locked up indefinately without legal representation and labeled a terrorist or charged with attempted capital murder. How Ironic how lightly this was taken. Do any of you find this strange? The consequences of that kind of action towards the president here would be very different, much more severe. I'd love to try it and find out lol. Use this case as an example in my defense (if they would let me have a defense) We should give the reporter a medal or something. Some show of support. A gold or lead shoe an some pitching lessons and another chance at it. That was awsome. Too bad he missed :( here in the US I could probably get in trouble for this comment.

A shoe drive!

Then dump them all on the Capitol lawn.

Ron Paul's Convention Speech

But instead of mailing the boots, couldn't we just chuck 'em at 'em?!

They would probably say we were mailing them anthrax/bomb boots and attack one of our civil liberties in the process...
