Iran, The Day After UPDATE: Large Street Protests Today?

Lots of arrests overnight in the wake of Saturday's protests, including the daughter of former Iranian President Rafsanjani.

Iran's government said Sunday it arrested the daughter and four other relatives of former President Hashemi Rafsanjani, one of the country's most powerful men, in a move that exposed a rift among the ruling Islamic clerics over the disputed presidential election.

...Rafsanjani, 75, heads two powerful institutions. One of them, the cleric-run Assembly of Experts, has the power to monitor and remove the supreme leader, the country's most powerful figure. The second is the Expediency Council, a body that arbitrates disputes between parliament and the unelected Guardian Council, which can block legislation.

The assembly has never publicly reprimanded the unelected Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei since he succeeded Islamic Revolution founder Aytollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989. But the current crisis has rattled the once-untouchable stature of the supreme leader with protesters openly defying his orders to leave the streets.

Underscoring how the protesters have become emboldened despite the regime's repeated and ominous warnings, witnesses said some shouted "Death to Khamenei!" at Saturday's demonstrations — another sign of once unthinkable challenges to the virtually limitless authority of the supreme leader.

Rafsanjani was deeply critical of Ahmadinejad during the presidential campaign and has the potential to lead an internal challenge to Khamenei.

Over 20 reporters and bloggers have been reported arrested since the protests began and things are ominously quite on Twitter today.

There's a report that the transportation union is taking the side of the protesters. Expanding the protests beyond students will be important.

According to one source inside Iran, there were no planned protests today but that didn't stop people from gathering where they could (see the 9:56 update).

I’m not doing this to prove I’m brave, because I’m not. The people that run towards the Basij with bare hands and the ones that have died are the brave ones. I’m doing this because we deserve more.

There are no clear rallies for today but most of us are just going wherever there are crowds…Don’t let people forget us so quickly.

I'm sure this brave Iranian will be happy to hear that Obama is still pretty excited about talking to his government, you know know the ones who unleashed the goons on him and his friends.

Maybe when all of this over, Obama will take him out for ice cream.

From TehranBureau on Facebook

The protests continued today. very scattered. our numbers have gone severely down. There are soldiers literally lined up on the streets. There is a very dark cloud over us. Please understand, we do not have any way of confirming how many people lost there lives in yesterdays massacre. They have cut all communications to a halt. Internet speeds are at 15kbps.

Below the fold, video via a retweet from an ABC reporter that is supposed to be of protests from today, Sunday, June 21. Unfortunately, there's just no way to tell for sure.

1 This is the vaunted Moral High Ground that Obama wanted to reclaim:  negotiations with regimes that massacre their own citizens.

Hope AND Change, people.  Unlike that evil Bushitler, who squandered all our Moral High Ground liberating Iraq and Afghanistan.

Our local Fox station, obviously in the tank for Teh One, actually showed video of the ice cream incident, and dutifully reported the flavors each chose, and the flavors they bought for the dog.

9 from wapo, this really summarizes obama's foreign policy - clinton's "foreign policy by polling" strategy on steroids....

Yesterday, as murky images of clashes and bloodshed flashed on cable news reports, the president called on the Iranian government "to stop all violent and unjust actions against its own people."

U.S. officials say Obama is intent on calibrating his comments to the mood of the hour. They say he is seeking to avoid having the demonstrators accused of being American stooges and is trying to preserve the possibility of negotiating directly with the Iranian government over its nuclear program, links to terrorism, Afghanistan and other issues.

Ask yourself this- if the oppressors were Christians and the oppressed were Muslims would Obama have the same stance? Huffington Post would say he has found the perfect balance? Come on Libs. Where is the "No man is an island. Each mans death diminishes me" meme ?

I get it now. Only politically expedient bloodshed is outrageous.

36 On twitter the posters are saying that the twitterers need proxies.  Does anyone know what that means?

They send the message to a third party server and the server posts it on twitter (it's all automatic). So when Iran tries to track them down, they find the 3rd party (which hopefully is out of their physical reach, say, in America) rather than the original. If they're monitoring individual posters' connections though, I don't see how a proxy would help. I doubt twitter is cooperating with them.

41 Interesting note -
Following up on the first net negative rating for Obama on Rasmussen re strongly support/oppose, Gallup shows today (after ominously skipping reporting yesterday on the heels of all time Obama low of 58%) that Obama is at 57/35 - another all time low for approval on Gallup, and an all time high for disapproval.

Wonder why Gibbsy claimed that House resolution was actually what Obama wanted, and why Obama finally, finally issued a statement which actually calls out Mahmoud for killing protesters.

Protesters were killed LAST WEEKEND and DURING THE WEEK.  The only thing that changed, other than yet higher levels of oppression, was the polling, and now that Obama has reacted, the entire MSM is pushing the narrative that
"Obama was smart and nuanced to leave "room to move" on Iran by not speaking out for a week"
"Obama spoke out now because only now did Iran do anything seriously bad"

Fucking MSM lies - but the public is slowing taking notice - and that makes the NYT/CBS poll showing 65% approval all the more cooked and suspect.

it is amazing how what our founding fathers stated everyone is born with (freedom) has now become so textbook and policy wonkish and only applicable and okay to say and recognize if it serves a political purpose.  so far it seems the only people that bho is willing to speak for when it comes to freedom are the palestinians and the terrorists at gitmo.  wow, i never realized the usa's policy was silence on another county's fraudulent elections, i guess bho really thought that saddam got 99% of the vote,  and who are we to say are you sure, i guess when bho told israel to stop the gaza shit and stop building on the west bank that was just a dream becuse the usa does not get involved in another country's politics ( i think israel just had an election). oh, and i guess, north korea can build as many nukes as it wants and blow up s. korea because we dont get involved.  almost forgot, who are we to have a plan in place to secure pakistan's nukes becuse we don't get involved in another country's political issues.  silly me, i guess that big unicorn shitting skittles is real.

44 Thanks AHFF. I wonder if the polls will hit a point that the MSM will revert back to being somewhat objective? I think if that happens even a little bit, those numbers will continue to decline. The people who are able to think critically are able to see around the biased reporting. Those that listen to Charlie Gibson, might actually take a second look if objectivity returned. Of course, I suspect record highs after Obama's informercials both tonight and later this week.

First, I'm not a troll. But I assume you were addressing me since anyone who doesnt tow the line that obama is the antichrist is labeled a troll here.

Obama's position hasn't changed AT ALL. Initially, he said we should not act with haste and take a wait and see approach to assess the situation. As the situation did not cool down, Obama felt that the government needed to be made aware that the world was watching its actions. Im not sure how he did anything inconsistent, he never said that the US would never interject itself, just that it should wait for the appropriate moment to do so. The Iranian people have heard obama, and if you watch fox, the iranian people are thankful of what obama has done so far.

Yes, you are a troll, PS. The management classified you as one after your first post ever.
Just so you know where you stand.

You're right!  America has always been at war with Eurasia.

Initially, he said we should not act with haste and take a wait and see approach to assess the situation.

Nope.  Not at all.  He said we shouldn't interfere.  And then we did.  How did that happen?

As the situation did not cool down, Obama felt that the government needed to be made aware that the world was watching its actions.

Brilliant!  I'm sure they appreciated the heads up.  As I'm sure they never talked to Algore (pbuh), they were unaware of the intertubes.

Expanding the protests beyond students will be important.

According to the woman from Iran I spoke with earlier this week, getting the support of the business owners and the transportation people, essentially the infrastructure, is key. In the revolution 30 years ago having that support moved the cause forward.

you want to make an outrageous statement like that...you best be prepared to back it up. What has Pat Buchanan done to indicate he sympathizes with nazis or hates jews? Him questioning why US should always back Israel does not allow you to tar his name in such a fashion.

Obama's approval rating has dropped 34 points since he took office and in todays Rasmussen tracking poll his approval rating has dipped to -2.

And he's only been in office for 5 months. The Democrat led most ethical Congress in history approval rating is in the toilet

Tell Adrianna Lima "hi".

Writing of "group fantasies of martyrdom," Buchanan challenged the historical record that thousands of Jews were gassed to death by diesel exhaust at Treblinka: "Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon monoxide to kill anybody." (New Republic, 10/22/90)

Buchanan's columns have run in the Liberty Lobby's Spotlight, the German-American National PAC newsletter and other publications that claim Nazi death camps are a Zionist concoction. Buchanan called for closing the U.S. Justice Department's Office of
Special Investigations, which prosecuted Nazi war criminals, because it was "running down 70-year-old camp guards." (New York Times, 4/21/87)

After Cardinal O'Connor criticized anti-Semitism during the
controversy over construction of a convent near Auschwitz, Buchanan wrote: "If U.S. Jewry takes the clucking appeasement of the Catholic cardinalate as indicative of our submission, it is mistaken. When Cardinal O'Connor of New York seeks to soothe the always irate Elie Wiesel by reassuring him 'there are many Catholics who are anti-Semitic'...he speaks for himself. Be not afraid, Your Eminence; just step aside, there are bishops and priests ready to assume the role of defender of the faith." (New Republic, 10/22/90)

You know, I have to admit I'm kind of indifferent to the whole Iranian protest thing.  I think I've seen one to many "Death to America" marches in Iran.  I have never seen anyone there disagree with that sentiment.  And nothing the U.S. does or doesn't do will ever get muslims to like us. 

We helped the Mujahideen in Afghanistan fight the Soviets when they invaded.  The result?  Muslims hate us.

We intervened in Bosnia when no one else would to prevent genocide against muslims.  The result?  Muslims hate us.

If Iranians renounce their vile hate-god allah and islam, then I'll be interested in helping them.  But for now, they made their shit-hole country the way it is, so they can deal with it themselves.  If they want to make it into something else, that's their business.  But as long as they practice islam, they will hate us.

I find myself agreeing with a non-interventionist approach.  It's a no-win situation for us anyway.  Support human rights and freeedom of speech in general, sure, but taking a side when there would be no clear-cut benefit to us of one side over the other, is a waste of time and energy.

I can be persuaded otherwise, though, if facts warrant.  I would love to see a pro-West Iran.

"Diplomatic credit with the world" is a non-entity. There's no such thing.

Do we get financial benefit from helping Israel?

We do a lot of trade with them, yes. But it's irrelevant anyway. We don't get money from Great Britain either. That doesn't mean we should abandon them if they're persistently attacked by tyrannical regimes bent on making us the dessert after the meal. Is money all you care about?

144 I hate, hate to do this, but I agree that Churchill made mistakes that helped slow the resistance to Nazi's. The book I noted above makes this point. It was prior to him being PM. It then gives him credit for seeing his mistake and being the man we all admire. Troublesome Young Men is worth the read.

I don't believe Buchanan was making that point.

I agree.  I'm afraid we may be projecting our own hopes and ideals onto the protesters.  How many really want a free election and how many simply support the other candidate?  Everyone keeps saying this isn't about Mousavi any more, but I am truly skepitcal.  He and Rafsanjani want power and I firmly believe they will do whatever it takes to get it.

I have friends who spent time in Iran about 2 years ago, and they said the hatred of the USA is prevalent on the streets as well as in the mosques and government.  People would come up to them and berate them for the "destruction of Iraq" and supporting Israel, among others things.

No I don't...if I did, I'd be in every thread. I only defend him when I think its particularly inane type of criticism...where he gets bashed if he does or if he doesn't.

I have no problems with people legtimately criticizing him on anything...healthcare, spending, foreign policy etc. But its the kneejerk bashing (ie that some far leftists engaged against bush...to the point where NOTHING they do is right) that gets me miffed.

I prefer conservatives to give him credit when Obama does something that accues to conservative stances...ie not releasing photos, support of regular marriage etc...the issues that he has angered the left on. By giving him credit when deserved, it gives conservatives far more credit when they do criticize him. But if you just mindlessly bash every and any thing he does, then you just sound like a broken record.

What  do you want Obama to do about the situation in Iran?

I want him to be more of an American presidential presence than he has been. To state principles. Something along the lines of:

"We, the American people, believe that government is of the people, by the people, and for the people. We believe this for a reason. The turmoil seen today in Iran is the result of government that is not accountable to the people, that views itself to be, instead, the masters of people. This is the result of government of that kind. Our ancestors braved all kinds of hardship to escape what we are seeing today in Iran. Government that only sees people as things to be ruled can expect only strife."

Etc. Obviously, that's just an approximation, I'm no presidential speech writer. It doesn't come down, explicitly, in favor of anything, other than the principles of good governance. Each side may then take from it what it will.

The sneering you see towards Obama here is because most of us don't think he believes any of that.

zippy,

1) Refuse to negotiate with Iran. Period.

2) Openly and without any reservation stand with the protesters.

3) Impose new and painful sanctions on Iran.

4) Urge Congress to to pass a "Regime Change in Iran" law.

 

 

Good, you answered..

 

I like your idea, I think it is really sick to watch those pigs murder innocents in their streets for the innocent act of dissagreeing with the sham election..

 

The one thing I don't like about your idea is that it would bring a WAR of preemtive strike to Iran by America and I'm not so sure that is a good thing..

Tat's current summary of 19-20th timeline;sorry for length:

The most recent news will be posted at the top, and then moved to the headline as events on the ground happen.

From the 19th to the 20th of June. post-Khameini speech.

If anyone doubted this is a Revolution and that this was bigger than the election, there is no such doubt anymore. Here are the major events that happened between the end of Khameini's speech and midnight on Saturday.

- Before the protest even began, heavily armed men were waiting for the dissidents, planning to prevent them from reaching the rally point. It didn't take long for the peaceful protests to turn into full-fledged riots. Security forces had also closed off the Tehran university to prevent students from leaving to protest or entering to take shelter. Basij, some security forces and what is suspected to be members of the Revolutionary Guard assaulted the protesters. The protesters fought back while chanting "Death to Khameini" and "Down with Khameini". The security forces used water cannons and tear gas to try and disperse the protesters. While the tear gas was partly successful, the water cannons were mostly useless, as they were quickly over ran by the protesters.

- A lot of eyewitnesses report that the Basij now fighting appear to be barely older than teenagers, most of them between 16 and 20, taking a real pleasure in the violence. Others report that up to hundreds of both security forces and Basij were injured in the last series of clashes. The Basij forces are using pvc tubes filled with concretes, bats, even knives and are assaulting people everywhere, down to metro stations.

- A bomb exploded at the Khomeini Shrine, killing one and injuring at least two. Most believe that the government is in fact behind it. Khameini was a major figure of the previous Revolution, and they used a similar tactics then, destroying buildings and blaming it on the Shah in order to turn the population against him. The State television is of course blaming Mousavi for it and calling for a harsher treatment of the protesters. This is also very convenient for the Regime, has Mousavi said he would take refuge there if he feared for his safety, but now all access is blocked.

- In return, the harsher the treatment of protesters by the security forces, the harsher the rhetoric and reaction of the protesters. They are calling for the death of the regime, the death of Khomeini, the death of their oppressors and that they will avenge them. Once the gun shots started, the protesters went wild, beating down security forces and basij forces they caught to a pulp, while the Basij and security forces are showing absolutely no restraint, even less than they previously had.

- There are many reports that the security forces and Basij still ever present in hospitals and clinics. Basij are kidnapping some of those injured, while the security forces is identifying those participating in the protest. In order to arrest protesters, security forces raided the Khomeini Hospital in order to arrest injured protesters. There are rumours that Basij forces have hijacked ambulances and use them as a trap to brutally assault already injured protesters seeking help, or shoot at them. Iranian journalists, Reformist intellectuals and feminists are still being arrested and rounded up to prevent from reporting the news or reaching out.

- As the protests grew, extreme measures started to used by those trying to repress the Iranians asking for freedom. Gun shots were first fired in the air, but it did not take long for them to be fired at the protesters. A liquid was dropped from helicopters, creating severe skin burns on protesters. We are unsure what the liquid was. They are also openly opening fire on the crows, 40 to 60 people at least were killed in a single day, and scores more injured according to protesters. There are also reports that Revolutionary Guard Helicopters dropped firearms crates to 500 Basij fighters, as they are more willing than government forces to use them on civilians.

- The protesters are fighting back, taking over anti-riot trucks and burning them, attacking Basij bases and burning another one to the ground. There are report that a security forces truck was actually blown up by the protesters. In many instances, government forces have been force to fled under the constant assault of the people. Another report mentioned a security forces post was burning as well.

- The Iran Fatemiyeh Hospital in Tehran has confirmed at least 40 dead as well as 200 injured. Other sources report that hundreds of security forces and hundreds of basij fighters were injured as well.

- At night the protesters joined each others on the roofs in Tehran, shouting "Allah-u Ackbar", "Margh Bar Khameini" and chanting "I will welcome death, I will welcome death, but no subjugation, but no subjugation". None of the rhetoric is addressed to Ahmadinejad anymore, all of it is directed to Khameini and the regime. Many of the popular chants throughout the day were "I will kill those who killed my brother/sister", "Death to the Government", "Death to Khomeini" and "Seyed Ali Pinoshe, Iran won't be Chili".

- China has been censoring all news coming from Iran. Obama's restraint has been useless, as the Iranian government has shown a video of him with a false translation where Obama declared his support for the protesters, and that they should keep on protesting.

- Mousavi gave a speech and declared that if he is arrested, then the whole nation should strike. He also told the people that he is ready for martyrdom.

- There are unconfirmed reports that the Army is now refusing to follow orders and will not attack the protesters. The newest strategy from the government seems to be arming the Basij, dressing them in riot gear, team them up with IRG soldiers, and try to prevent massive rallies and keep them localized instead, as they are easier to stop spreading.

Planned N. Korea launch unnerves Hawaii residents
Jun 21, 10:07 AM (ET)

By MARK NIESSE

HONOLULU (AP) - Comforted by the U.S. military's missile defense systems, Hawaii residents doubt a North Korean missile would light up the clear island sky like fireworks on the Fourth of July.

But that doesn't mean the islands' laid-back beach-goers aren't worried that a long-range missile could be launched in the direction of Hawaii's emerald mountains and white sand beaches around Independence Day.

"The North Koreans are unbalanced and could try anything," said Dan Gleason while walking his Jack Russell mix dog in downtown Honolulu. "If they do hit Honolulu, I hope it's a good shot, because I don't want to go through the aftermath."

Japanese media have reported the North Koreans appear to be preparing for a long-range test near July 4. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has ordered additional protections for Hawaii in case a missile is launched over the Pacific Ocean.

He's already screwed it up, everything now is just covering for his mess.

I have some ideas, but I wrote them on other threads, days ago, when Obama was fiddling.

If you want to know what I would do, then make me President.

That is the answer, fuckwit. Immediate condemnation of the Iranian regime and full-throated support for the cause of liberty is what we wanted Obama to do. We wanted a psychological show of force. A half-hearted mealy-mouthed wait-and-see attitude followed by gradually increasing, yet still tepid, support for the cause of liberty doesn't send the right message.

I remember seeing an on the street interview of an older Iranian women a couple of years ago. She said that she wished America would do in Iran what we had done in Iraq. I remember thinking how unbelievably brave she was to say such a thing, and to show her face to the world while doing it. I wonder where she is today.

Here in America I'd dare to say that today more than half our adult population couldn't tell you diddly-squat about what is happening around the world:

North Korea missile threat: nyet!

Iranian revolution: nyet!

Government healthcare: nyet!

In a country where most people do not know the name of their U.S. much less State Senator....where citizens only become energized to vote once every four years, and even then for only the most superficial of reasons...where many demand a Saturday vote so as not to incovenience them with the burden of casting their vote on a Tuesday...we should stand in awe of a people who would risk their lives to cast a vote. And, again risk their lives to protest the outcome. And, again risk their lives to stand in defiance of a tyrant. And, again risk their lives to tell the world what is happening to them.

When a vote means so much that people would give their lives for the honor of casting it, those of us who possess such freedom should be on bended knees giving thanks for all that we enjoy.

I would call 'Shame!' to all those who fail to honor and appreciate their freedoms except that, the truth is, many of them are without shame at all.

I find it laugh-out-loud hilarious that every time Mr. Obama, really, really fucks up, the trolls come here en masse. It is as though the more obvious it is that he is unqualified for the job, the more they are compelled to defend their mistaken choice. In fact, the more egregious Mr. Obama's shortcomings appear, the more vociferous the trolls become on conservative blogs.

If so, how?




Because dumbass, all they want is recognition from America that they're fighting against freedom and want liberty. Sympathy is all we have to give them since your lord and saviour is gonna sit on his hands and deal with the very same regime that's killing their own people.

Why? Because he believes in those very same tactics, he's a tyrant himself.

Count on it. The economy may have a temporary upswing early next year, but massive inflation and heavy taxation will nullify it.

Posted by: Blazer at June 21, 2009 03:00 PM (AoS9J)

291 eriously,do you guys really believe you're helping out the Iranian reformists somehow with all your faux sympathy?

To begin with, my sympathy is not insincere. It is incredibly arrogant of you to assume it to be so. Beyond my sincere prayers for these people and a statement of support and empathy for these people what would you have me do? I've followed the advice of those more technologically savvy than I and changed my social network accounts in attempt to thwart the suppression of information flow. Was it of any practical assistance? Eh ... I doubt it but if there was even a chance it would help it was worth a try. How about those that published instructions on setting up proxies? opened up their servers to provide Iranians with access to world? Is their sympathy "faux"?

It is an internal matter for the Iranian people and the ultimate outcome of their election process needs to be resolved internally. However, America stands for something and has a long and proud history of denouncing tyranny and offering moral support to those who choose to fight for self-determination. I don't think it's asking too much that the president make it clear that this country supports basic human rights. Among them the right to peacefully protest without being shot or beaten in the street.

Mostly, I find it sad that Mr. Obama is so lacking in any kind of moral compass that it took the pressure of obvious public opinion to get him to make even weak-tea statement of support.

293 Zippy

Do you really want to know why most of us are PO'd at President Obama?  His first reaction is to straddle the fence.  He cannot identify evil, unless its an American conservative.  When Russia went into Georgia last year, he asked both sides to show tolerance, as was his first reaction to the events in Iran.  He sees all governments, even dictatorships, as instruments of good.  This really should not have been hard.  John McCain, for all his flaws as a politician, knew immediately to condemn Russia for their actions in Georgia.  But, if your agenda is apologizing to the dictators of the Middle East for the past behavior of America's foreign policy, you'd have a hard time identifying evil yourself. 

Here's the irony in all of this - we have been told over and over again that by solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, peace can be brought to the Middle east, when, in reality, the truth is sitting on a nice big silver platter right now.  Bring down the number one sponsor of terror, i.e., the mullahs in Iran, and there's no more support for Hamas and Hezbollah, and suddenly, the raining of rockets on Israel is much harder to keep afloat. 

If the governments of Europe can see this so clearly, (most notably Sarkozy), it is a sad day that the leader of the free world cannot reflexively come out on the side of liberty.

No one is COUNTING on any such thing.  Causing hyperinflation by simply printing money to cover the cost of Obama's agenda pretty much guarantees the economy being in the shitter for a time longer than most recession's usually last.

298 I have no time for troll hunting today so I'll try to make as many pimply hippy-heads explode as possible with this one post.

Accept that we are going to go to war with Iran, China, North Korea, a coalition of South-Central American Countries and Russia at various points in time in the future. The fucking Star Fleet Federation Debating Society is not going to get the job done. The UN is dead and starting to smell so bad even liberals know it's useless.

Here is what Present-dent Candy-Ass should do:
Send more carrier battle groups into the Gulf.
Mass armor, troops and support on the border of Iran/Iraq.
Declare a humanitarian crisis / disaster like in Kosovo / Darfur / Somalia.
Warn NATO to keep it's mouth shut.
Announce that the United States is not going to let the Iranian people be butchered in the streets.
Give a 24hr deadline for the announcement of new peaceful elections.
Send the weasels in to zap the AAA and SAMS.
Send the B-2's and 117's in to strike every single palace, bunker, barracks, command and control and regime leadership target in Iran.
Tell BB Netanyahu to send in the fighter-bombers to destroy every suspected nuclear, biological, and chemical facility in Iran.
Bomb and raze every suspected Hamas, Hez, and every other gawddamn terrorist training facility.
Systematically sink every single Iranian naval vessel on the water with a length of over 6ft.
Blockade all imports of gasoline, arms, and military supplies by sea and air.
Declare a no-fly zone over Iran.
Use local assets on the ground to systematically aid in the location, arrest, and trial of the mullahs for crimes against the people of Iran.
Eliminate any organized resistance from the air.
Let the people of Iran choose a new government.
Let the Iranians deal with any insurgency.
Deal with the later political problems like a big boy.

And for dessert:
Have Code Pink, Michael Moore, Pinch, Garafalo and Sean Penn tried for treason live on Pay-Per-View and shot.

And Pat Buchanan is a fucking lunatic anti-Semite.

See yall later. I gotta go hippy hunting for Father's Day. My wife bought me a license.

305 Because you Republicans are wasting all your time trying to score small, cheap, meaningless political "victories" ...instead of rebuilding their trust with America.

First, you have a very short memory hypocrite- look back over the last 8 years and the deranged hooting your lot did.

Second, we don't have to rebuild trust all that much, given how hideously you donks are doing in the executive and legislative branches vis a vis "trust". Rasmussen shows people now trust republicans more than dumbocrats to handle the economy, and that's before the non-stimulus effect, the health care debacle, the cap and trade swindle, and hyper-inflation thanks to barky's dumping trillions in fake money into the economy.

"I expect whoever the poor fool is you guys prop up to face Obama in 2012 will fare worse than Dole did against Clinton."

You're welcome to that opinion. But you're wrong. I will laugh my ass off at all you smelly hippies the day a Republican gets sworn in in a little less than 4 years from now.

"Are you poor saps really counting on the American economy still being down 3 and 1/2 years from now?"

Uh, no- we aren't "counting" on it, because that would pre-suppose we want people to be suffering in order to seize power. That's what you dickholes on the left do, as evidenced by your uh, "support" of the troops in Iraq among other things.

312 The patriotic thing to do to complement the strategy of POTUS Obama is to criticise him vigorously. If, we all sit here and say that Obama shouldn’t meddle, anything little that even vaguely approaches meddling will be denounced by the Mullahs as meddling, so we have to back up Obama stand of “hands off” by making it look credible that he is vigorously “doing nothing” by calling him an idiot for not doing more .. often.
It also gives us cred if the protesters should prevail.

Posted by: Mamoo Achmedajihad at June 21, 2009 05:55 PM (93F13)

317 This got buried on another thread, so I'm going to state it here for anyone who had some doubts about what's going on.

I learned Farsi at the Defense Language Institute at the Monterey Presidio (though I'm so out of practice that I can only hold a basic conversation now) back in '95. After spending a year learning not only the language but the culture, religions (yes, Iran has at the very least 6), and politics, I predicted to my family and friends that Iran would see another violent revolution within the next 20 years. Seems I was only off by a little more than five.

This has been brewing underneath the surface for at least a couple of decades: the election was something of an excuse for the people to finally get their Persian blood boiling (they're a very temperamental people) and to finally tell their oppressive government what they really think.

The fact of the matter is that a truly democratic Iran WILL drop Hezbollah and Hamas like a hot potato. Iranians are hot-blooded, but they're terrible at fanaticism. Traditionally, they've held a live-and-let-live philosophy that almost borders on hedonism: they're far more interested in the pursuit of their own happiness than killing Jews. So it was really only a matter of time before they became fed-up with their private pursuits of happiness being cockblocked by a government urging them to go out and help a bunch of Arabs by killing themselves. (whom they hate with a passion, incidentally.  The average Iranian is usually ambivalent about Americans, but they despise Arabs and the invasion by Iraq didn't help matters at all)

Right now, firm support of the tear-down-this-wall variety is what Iranians need most.  It's true that a lot of them are secretly wishing the U.S. would get involved, but at the same time, they want to earn their freedom themselves.  So what they need is for world leaders to stand up and quite firmly denounce Iran's  tyrannical government.  What we can do is help them fight the info war.  That's the most I'm, ah, permitted to do.

320 Answer for Zippy:

"As the  leader of a free and decent people, I want to join the world community* in stating that the Iranian people --whether they live in Tehran, London or Los Angeles -- have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And in support of that set of rights I must condemn the violence perpetrated against the Iranian people by the government for which they are showing their disdain. I stand before you as the leader of people who have always supported individual rights and freedoms and have carried the light of liberty with us wherever we have gone. It is my hope that the Iranian people will pull back the curtains that have for too long shielded them from this light so that we may welcome them into the community of nations as an equal partner."

Something along those lines might not be a bad start.

*The world community is bull shit that I know the TOTUS would want to say.

The disgusting thing is seeing American "liberals" -- in some cases people I've known for years -- slavishly defend Obama's inaction.  They're so invested in him now that they just cannot admit anything he does is less than perfect. 

And yet in their hearts they must know they're lying.  Otherwise they wouldn't be so vociferous and shrill.  These trolls that show up here are repeating their lies because they know they're lying.  If they can get everyone to repeat the same lies, they won't have to feel guilty about it.

For the economy to be dead in four years the only thing you need depend on is that Obamanazis and his ACORNs to still be "directing" the economy, or the radioactive lump after he destroys it.

Presidente Chimp is a dead man.  He's going to have a tough time answering the question are you better off after the 2008 election?   The market is down 33%, the dollar is hitting new lows, he has quadrupled the deficit in six months spending more than all other presidents combined.

Combine his flip flopping with an utter incompetence, lack of integrity combined with a staggering arrogance, and you have a man whose honesty is matched only by his teleprompters wisdom.

Add to this his lovely wife Lt Worf, champion of the cage fighters and you know you have a landmark president of Kenya.
