As the youth jumped over the bonfires the traditional ancient rhymes were replaced with anti-government ones. "toop, tank, feshfesheh Akhoond bayad koshteh sheh" " Cannons, Tanks and Firecrackers We must kill the Mullahs".
In the Haft-Howz, Falakeh Dovvom and Nirooye Havaii, districts of Tehran more than 10,000 people had gathered. Some women openly removed their scarves encouraging others to do so too. In Mohseni Square, the youth fought back the Law Enforcement Forces. At least 20 government forces were reported badly beaten up by the crowds. In Amir-Abad district the people joined the students and more anti-government slogans were shouted. Police patrol cars, which attempted to disperse the crowd, drove away from the scene as the people started throwing home made grenades at them. In Aryashahr, the crowd were throwing pictures of Supreme Leader, Khamenei and Islamic Republic flags on to the bonfires.

I'm amazed that even the liberal press is ignoring this.
Do you think it's being overstated.........?

Do you think the (Iran free press?) is trying to gain int'l support to force the mullahs out through opinion and condemnation?

The media covers what is cheap and easy. Right now, there are no US bureaus in Tehran, so it just doesn't exist.
If CNN wasn't in China during Tehenneman square it probably "wouldn't exist"

I'm amazed that even the liberal press is ignoring this. I'm not. There's very little, if any, mention in the press of news that indicates a definite tilt toward the tipping point in Iran. Even locally, this anti-regime demonstration in Seattle last summer didn't get ink, when much smaller but politically correct demonstrations do.
For that matter, this big pro-Israel rally in Seattle was studiously ignored by the press.

The press is distracted by the breaking story that John Kerry served in Vietnam.

Go to number 12. And scroll through that thread. At the bottom, cut and paste the media list.
Fast spamming, that way!
