Code Pink activists march in Berkeley to support Iraq shoe-throwing - Inside Bay Area

Iraq shoe-throwing supporters unite Worldwide - Inside Bay Area: “Anti-war activists from the group Code Pink marched at a Marine recruiting station in Berkeley this morning to show solidarity with an Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at President Bush on Sunday.
Members of the group and others marched around the recruiting station holding shoes in the air to show support for Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi, who hurled two shoes at Bush during a news conference in Baghdad.
In many Arab countries, showing the sole of one's shoes, much less throwing shoes at another person, is considered a sign of extreme disrespect.”

-- I wonder if this will become a new cultural movement beyond Iraq?

    Dubya got a real kick out of this. In Saddam's day this reporter would have been fed to the plastic shredder, after watching his wife and daughters get gang-raped.

    God of the Universe says
    Bush was worse than Hitler

    and Stalin and Mao
    and the Devil combined

    All real freedom starts with freedom of speech. Without freedom of speech there can be no real freedom.
