Guardian UK :Grand ‌Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri, a top dissident cleric who was Ayatollah Khomeini's designated successor before falling out of favour with the regime, has issued a statement denouncing election results that "no one in their right mind can believe" and blasting the "astonishing violence" wrought on the protesters in full view of the press.

As usual Bozo voted present again. No condemnation of the Iranian government killing civilians for peacefully protesting an election, and it was peaceful until the Basij started beating the he** out of everyone. The Basij are civilians and wear civilian clothes, therefore the government can blame citizens when they show pictures of them committing violence against Iranians.

Exactly- and the dreadful Rick Sanchez did an entire explanation tour yesterday afternoon to defend CNN’s coverage on Saturday- it was pitiful.

Sad, they got scooped by a “lowly” social networking site...

Can somebody post a “Welcome to the Party Pal” John McClain pic? I think we could change the wording to “Welcome to the 21st century, pal”.

Yes, and they actually tried to claim credit for twitter reports as if they somehow thought of having people use twitter. CNN, Commie News Network, ain’t that the truth!

I am a man who isn’t one who could be called a dove. I have often argued “Iran Delenda Est”. I somewhat regret those words. But I do not regret the need to remove this cancer, this regime of Holocaust-denying-goosestepping thugs who bring in foreigners to oppress their own children. We would have had a man like John McCain to do it. I was not a enthusiastic supporter of his..but I saw what Obama is. And now the world has: WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS WHO THREW GHWBs INACTION OVER TINANMEN IN OUR FACES 20 YEARS AGO ALMOST TO THE DAY! WHERE ARE YOU, YOU SPINELESS COWARDS! COME OUT AND TELL US WE NEED TO SAVE CHINA, OR DARFUR, BUT YOU WON’T SAVE A BUNCH OF KIDS FROM THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT!

-A government that has:

-Killed Americans

-Seized our property and held Americans and other foreign nationals against their will

-Oppressed their own citizens

-Threatened their neighbors with nuclear weapons

And now, turned foreign thugs on their own children. We may be overextended, we may be in trouble...but comeon Mr. Obama..you said we could, that we are the ones we are waiting for. Well, we’re waiting, get off your duff and be the president the hour requires. I know your predecessor would have.

To the Iranian students I say this: “I am sorry we didn’t hang a right at Baghdad.”
