This home invasion video from the streets of Tehran is the most chilling thing I've ever seen in my life. The struggle for freedom against the forces of repression is a never ending one. Here's to the Iranians fighting for their basic human rights.
Working a Monday-Friday schedule this week, so more tomorrow.

Rather than send them good wishes how about a few C130's loaded with weapons and ammunition
This is what the Hate Americans First crowd wants the US Government to be able to do to "suspected" terrorists... Except when they're the ones advocating shooting federal officers in the head or seceding from the union or threatening the life of the President...
"Rather than send them good wishes how about a few C130's loaded with weapons and ammunition" - Ah, yes, we can call this "Bush I+" - where you advocate the violent overthrown of a brutally repressive regime and then provide no real means of achieving such results. A few C130s? Apparently we're just looking to get people killed... And start a regional war guaranteed to send oil prices skyrocketing in an already depressed economy in a country already fighting two ground wars in Asia... Yes, this is what passes for "analysis" among the marginalized minority... It's sad.
Let the Iranians sort this out. Over the next few weeks it will be a showdown between Supreme Leader Khamenei and Ahmadinejad on one side and Rafsanjhani, Khatami, and Mousavi on the other. The people in Iran don't want to overthrown the theocracy in Iran, just make sure their votes are properly counted.

VanessaJ, just for fun, what is the highest level of school you have completed? Don't lie.
Where is the beloved MSNBC in all this? No coverage all weekend. Sort of like Obama.

I'm grateful that Vanessa is on the same side as bunch, E.Pleb, Obama, and the Muslim extremist leadership in Iran.
"Obama is still standing with his finger in the wind figuring out the popular thing to do......" Xi, that's not entirely fair. Obama was very busy grilling with Bobby Flay this weekend, in addition to running around the lawn with the dog. I'm also told he watered Evita's garden. I don't know how you expect him to make a statement supporting those literally dying for freedom in Iran with that hectic schedule. The man is only human. Oh gosh, I'm sorry. He's actually a 'god' according to our media.
I don't see what's so alarming about this video. This happens every night - no - make that 3x a nighyt - in North Philadehia.////This just in: "In honor of Obama’s commanding leadership, Ben & Jerry’s has announced 6 delicious new flavors: Truncheon Crunch, Ayatollhouse Cookie Dough, Lemon Loin-Gird, Ineffectual Fudge, Let Them Eat Cake Batter, and Toffeetalitarianism."
"Imagine if Bush went on an ice cream run during something like this. He'd be "Worst Person in the World" every day forever."///BTW - I'd like to give a major shout out to our boy Bunch. He's not a big fairy when it comes to allowing critical comments like the super sensitive Smerconish. All hail the wrinkled one.
I really owe the Messiah an apology. Turns out I underestimated just how busy he was this weekend: "Obama kept a public silence Sunday, although a spokesman said he discussed Iran with foreign policy advisers in the Oval Office for more than 30 minutes. He later went golfing in Virginia." 30 minutes of meetings seems about right on such an important issue. We certainly can't expect The One to interrupt his precious golf game to speak out against the slaughter of freedom seeking Iranians, now can we? Hope. Change.
The "marys" are all up in arms as to what to do about Iran. I say let them eat cake or babka.
VanessaJ: You literally write the same response to every story/opinion piece. It's like you exude contempt for everyone unlike you (Ayatollah Khomeini, peace be upon him, would be proud)! Here's some Farsi for you: Khaarkosseh, khafeh show!
