A little morning maniac music in solidarity with the people on the streets of Tehran:
Will, I'm a big fan of your work, but that's just a bad song: the music is plodding and the lyrics are banal. I'd go with any number of Gang of Four songs instead ("He'd Send in the Army would be a good choice), but if we're going to stick to Buffalo Springfield, let's just skip the politics and go right to "Rock and Roll Woman."— DiTurno-
- The so called "moderate" who "lost" the election was the nice MUSLIM TERRORIST FANATIC who STARTED the nuclear WEAPONS (not energy) program years ago, in case you didn't know. So what if he didn't win. Just a wolf in sheep's clothing to win back power that still really resides in a bunch of black sheet MUSLIM terrorists, PERIOD.— WriteWinger
- I didn't see "shakey" in that video,did I overlook him ?— (reeducated)Yankee Air Pirate
Hey winger, where were you when Reagan was selling him weapons?- Yeah, and Obama is standing firmly behind the protestors as well. Oops, he's not. He says it is up to Iran to elect its government, even though the results were announced without any rational amount of time to have actually counted millions of paper ballots. It's the Obama Effect, baby - the mullahs now don't even bother putting a fig leaf on their control of elections, knowing Obama will tell them its all OK with him.— db_cooper
Comment removed.- Comment removed.
- I see all the neococonuts got their talking points out from Rush again. I've never seen a group of people hope for America's failure. These are the same morons who rooted Goerge Bush on as he destroyed our economy and our reputation by lying us into a war of choice.— chasing history
- Geez, coop, you used to be sane. You guys can be counted on not to think things through. The mullahs would just love it if Obama would just say a few words about the elections. Once he does it becomes an American intervention in Iranian politics. I happen th think the demonstrations will run out of gas. There are too many conservative "Red States" who think everything is fine in Iran and these protesters are just a bunch of miscreant rabble rousers who are smashing and burning stuff. Sound familiar?— SteveMG
- Oh yeah, FWIW, that's a song that I hit any button on my radio withing a second of hearing any note. Written down, it may be profound, I don't know, I only remember some of the words. As music, blah. I'd take Phil Ochs over Steven Stills any day. Phil had a sense of humor.— SteveMG
- "I see all the neococonuts got their talking points out from Rush again." I don't listen to Rush. " I've never seen a group of people hope for America's failure." How is wanting Obama to stand up for a fair election in Iran hoping for America's failure? And tell me - is there a ring attached to a string in your back to where someone pulls it and you start spouting completely irrelevant Dem talking points?— db_cooper
- "Geez, coop, you used to be sane. You guys can be counted on not to think things through. The mullahs would just love it if Obama would just say a few words about the elections. " Really. Obama demanding an accountable election would play right into their hands? More like, his sitting on his hands does that. He's undercutting the democracy protestors in the streets by letting the mullahs know that they can engage in blatant election theft and America will do absolutely nothing. Appeasing tyrants never works.— db_cooper
- Remember how well that fair election in the Palestinian territory worked out? How about those elections in Iraq and Pakistan? I guess you call them the George W Bush effect.— SteveMG
- "Remember how well that fair election in the Palestinian territory worked out? How about those elections in Iraq and Pakistan? I guess you call them the George W Bush effect." The Iraqi elections have gone pretty well overall. Pakistan? We're now atually getting a crackdown on the Taliban with the new government. Palestine? Hamas winning an election took away the veneer that the Palestinians in Gaza wished to co-exist with Israel, and now they are paying for that. Better to have the other side clearly define itself through an open election than to have the media mislead the world with their definitions.— db_cooper
