Did someone seriously throw a book at Obama at a rally?
It was not a shoe, but a book and apparently it happened here in the US. I heard it on the radio yet came in on the tail end and was curious where there might be further information on it.

Hopefully it was an economics book or a copy of the constitution and he kept it with full intent of reading it.

It was thrown to him for him to read, but they did not say what the book's title was! When a shoe was tossed at Bush, we heard about it day and night,and even the ignorant hill dwellers in Afghanistan heard about it and cheered!

Yes, it happened in PA.
The person likes Obama, the book is pro-Obama, the guy is trying to get publicity. The Secret Service isn't revealing the name of the book or its author.

It was a supporter who wrote the book he threw and wanted Obama to have it.
Pretty stupid all around, but eventually the thrower/writer will get plenty of publicity from it.

Saw a lead to it on Drudge. It was a paperback book, all the same, very wrong to do.

He threw a Bible.
Because he's a Tea bagger, and teabaggers neither respect nor believe in God nor civil liberties.
And therefore...he just threw away his salvation.

Yes.
And then they shouted "We don't need no damn liberal book learnin nohow."
That's what illiterates do with books.
