Zaidi becoming poster boy of BDS sufferers

The crazy BDS left is loving the story of Zaidi, the shoe-hurler who missed President Bush during a press conference, but quickly becoming the anti-American celebrity at home and abroad. Look at how worked up "Kathy" is from Comments from Left Field:
I did not feel one scrap of sympathy for Bush — although I will admit I felt grudging admiration for his poise and quick reflexes in the moment. But any sympathy or respect I might have felt for Bush vanished with “So?” and “It was amusing.” It was amusing? F*** you, you bastard. Hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis, thousands of children who will never see their parents again, wives who will never see their husbands, families who are living in refugee camps in Syria and Jordan, are amusing? And don’t tell me Bush didn’t mean that, because al-Zaidi said it, as clear as crystal.
By the way, I had to censor the expletive because this is a G-rated blog. Kathy sympathizes with those Iraqis who suffered because of the war and clearly blames the president. She's living up to the compassionate liberal label. But her worldview proves she's ignorant and irrational. I'd hate to break it to you, Ms. Kathy, but even before the first Marine stepped foot on Iraqi soil, there were already hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis, thousands of orphans, widows, and refugees from Saddam Hussein's tyranny.

She's definitely out in the left field. Way out.

O Iraq, America fought for your right to throw a shoe at her

President Bush made a surprise visit to Baghdad on Sunday, and an Iraqi TV journalist surprised the world (and the Secret Service) by throwing a shoe at him. Luckily, the nimble President was able to dodge the projectile without harm as others in the press conference jumped on Muntader al-Zaidi. Obviously all anti-American Arabs are hailing al-Zaidi as a hero! Thousands rally in Iraq, Syria, and Libya to support Zaidi and his "courageous" action.

No doubt this was highly embarrassing for the Iraqi government. Not just the fact that one of its accredited journalists wanted to harm a visiting head of state, but the American president. The leader of the country that forced Saddam and his sadistic posse out of power, liberating the oppressed Iraqi people. The American president who made the tough decision to send American young men and women to war, knowing that some of them will die fighting for the freedom of strangers. The American president who steadfastly remained committed to a free, self-governing Iraq, while approval ratings at home tanked to a new low.

Yes, let the world see that flying shoe. Some will gladly see the American president duck for cover. Others will let out a sigh of relief that he's unharmed, and thank in their hearts for the freedom to throw a shoe at such a man.
