Well, THAT Was Different
From Ed Driscoll
As spotted by Jim Hoft, two Gray Ladies in one!
The news that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s motorcade was pelted with shoes and tomatoes by Egyptian protesters, who also taunted her by chanting “Monica! Monica!” as she left the U.S. consulate in Alexandria on Sunday, delighted conservative bloggers in the United States.
– The New York Times, yesterday.
A day after an Iraqi television journalist threw his shoes at President Bush at a news conference in Baghdad on Sunday, his act of defiance toward the American commander-in-chief reverberated throughout Iraq and across the Arab world.

In Syria, he was hailed as a hero. In Libya, he was given an award for courage.
Across much of the Arab world on Monday, the shoe-throwing incident generated front page headlines and continuing television news coverage. A thinly veiled glee could be discerned in much of the reporting…

Maybe I’m wrong, I really didn’t pay any attention to what anybody was saying about the incident. I saw a story posted here and at Red State and The Blaze. But I don’t recall interpreting it as “glee”. I know I felt a little sense of, “How’s that bowing and pandering, and showering our enemies with money and concessions working out so far Dumbass?”, toward the Administration. But I took no joy in reading that the Ass-Lifters used a personal tragedy to taunt Hillary. I actually felt sorry for her. But far from “Glee”, what I felt most of all was an exasperation and anger, and quite frankly a revolting sickness that this administration has so weakened our defenses and damaged our reputation as a nation, that our most senior officials are mocked and pelted with rotten fruit and personal insults!
That’s the difference between a petty, immature, disrespectful and disloyal bunch of traitorous Commiecrat Occutards, and a Loyal Conservative Patriotic American Citizen… I would have defended Hillary as a woman and as a representative of The United States had I been in a position to intervene. But I gaurantee that if a Progressive had been in that room when Habib threw his shoe at Bush, they would have fallen on their face from trying to clap while taking off their shoe to join in!

While I disagree with them, I have more respect for folks like Maddow than I do for the NY Slimes. Maddow proudly displays her liberal bias. It’s part of her media persona. The NY Slimes claims neutrality and objectivity while having ridiculous liberal bias and promoting the division and destruction of the country via Cultural Marxism. Useful effing idiots.
Their insistence on pursuing Cultural Marxism and claiming neutrality will be their destruction, it’s just a question of how bad it will be. If the Marxist 0bamanites get their revolution they will meet the same fate as their useful idiot predecessors in history. If the left doesn’t get their revolution the old media will wither and die because virtually everyone can see what a horrible fraud they are.
