Well..heaven forbid that moron Obama voters should be expected to be able to read and write all by themselves. They need the government to do that for them. (eye roll)

Obama is doing nothing! WITH is wrong with our president? Everyday, it’s one outrage after another!

LUXEMBOURG, June 15 (Reuters) - “The European Union increased pressure on Iran on Monday to agree to opposition demands to investigate President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s landslide election victory and halt a crackdown on protesters.

France, Germany and Britain led the EU campaign to persuade Iran to clarify the election result despite no sign of new pressure from the United States, their partner at talks intended to ensure Tehran does not develop nuclear weapons”

Oh..we all know why..it’s a rhetorical question. You would think though that the libbies would be up in arms about Obama’s sudden silence. After all, many of these protestors are women seeking rights and they are being killed and brutalized on the streets of Tehran! I am so sick of liberal hypocrisy I could scream!

NYT Reports that pro-democracy activists launched denial of service attacks on Irans govt websites

Really? If the rebels can start chipping away at Iranian command and control, as well as weaken the regimes perceived ability to defend itself, things are going to start getting very interesting.

And why not? They have let the whole mess stand since 1979?

What's changed? Is it the fact that Israel has not been rolling over lately for Amadinnerjacket?

Sudden awareness that the Ayatollah and the Mullahs aren't exactly the soul of freedom?

Twitter? The Internet?

How many of these people are sons/daughters or grandsons/grandaughters of the last “protesters”?

Various Iranian government websites were down this morning - if you go to http://www.pagereboot.com/ and enter an Iranian government website, then set the refresh interval to "1" second, you can help.

The Iranian government, meanwhile, was working hard to shut down opposition websites.

BBC reporter claims there are over a million protestors in the streets. There are a number of reports surfacing that the military has opened fire on protestors in multiple locations, with reports of at least 5 deaths. There’s a report from the New York Times that Iranian pro-democracy activists launched denial of service attacks on Iran’s government websites. There are reports that diplomatic ambassadors from democratic nations are being ordered by Iranian government officials to leave. Iranian officials have been busy attempting to eliminate the social networking websites (such as facebook and twitter) that Iranian protestors are using to try to get information to the outside world. Iran won’t extend the temporary visas of journalists who were in their country to cover the elections. Most of these visas were for a 1-2 week period, which is about to expire, so expect most of the journalists to be forced to leave pretty quickly now.

In the meantime, much of the free world has been issuing formal statements of condemnation, including statements from France, Germany, Britain, Norway and Canada. Barack Obama, the man who would be god, has remained completely silent...it’s an outrage that crystalizes our national shame for the majority having elected him to lead our great country.

Prayers go out to all the brave citizens of Iran who are rising up in the streets demanding their freedom. They’re willing to pay the ultimate price with their lives. May they serve as an example to all of us in the dark days ahead.
