Funny…when this happened I wondered how long it would take for republicans to say exactly what they are saying…it was staged. Well, at least its not BENGHAZI!

I wonder how we can possibly help these people. I think Rush called it. The Benghazi people are all a bunch “nuts and lunatics and wackos.”

I think they’re just jealous they didn’t think of staging a shoe throwing incident first.

“maybe it’s an attempt to make the Benghazi people look like nuts and lunatics and wackos.”

LOL That’s funny. That train left the station long, long ago.

“A far more accurate headline would’ve been 'Hillary Clinton Luckily Unharmed by Her Slow Reflexes.”

Yeah, why didn’t the media feel the need to chide a woman for failing to react quickly to a flying shoe? I mean, who wants a president who doesn’t always have cat-like reflexes? Oh, that’s right. These are the same idiots who complained about the favorable media coverage of Obama’s Mr. Miyagi-like fly swatting.

In other words – projection. They’d have done it that way, so they assume the Democrats must have done it that way.

Fox and Bernie Goldberg need to do an investigation on Hillary and the shoes.
Who better to address this than Dick Morris?

So Republicans were speculating the shoe thrower was a plant because she wasn’t being punished (in the first 20 or so hours) Now that she’s charged they will quickly call her an over-reactor for prosecuting the shoe thrower no doubt.

You could find this craven, and diabolically partisan because they jump to the most hyperbolic, negative positions with a total lack of evidence, but really that’s not fair. They have no idea they are doing this. They honestly believe their own made up stuff right as they make it up and feel no remorse when it’s proven false because they simply aren’t listening to anyone except people they agree with.

Jeez, I’m glad someone did.
I was starting to lose hope.

I think most of the Hive members are being a little bit less enthusiastic with their postings while in Beta mode. I also know a number of the non-Hive regulars that would have totally gotten your comment.

I don’t think I would have had time to get it up there without someone beating me to it.

These Fright-wingersrs™ are nuts. Beyond just the tin-foil nuttery it takes to vomit this stuff up… they don’t seem to realize that when Bush had a shoe thrown at him in Iraq, it was because he was hated.

So I guess in these moron’s view, having events that make you seem hated is a winner?

My head hurts.
