They Killed Neda but Not Her Voice
Michelle Malkin ^ | 06/21/2009 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 06/21/2009 8:46:25 AM PDT by fiscon1

Her name was Neda, which means “voice” in Farsi. According to numerous online accounts picked up by media outlets worldwide, she was shot in the streets by Iranian state police while protesting today. This is what repression looks (warning: graphic):

I'll take "A Demonstrable Incapability to do Anything Else" for $1600, Alex.

—Why are you trashing this thread?—

I’m not. At least that was not my intention. Way back at the beginning of the thread, I criticized Malkin for juxtaposing a harmless photo of Zero eating an ice cream cone with that of the Neda, as if one was the cause of the other. I pointed out that this bordered on “political porn”, and that is when all heck broke lose.

He's already done that, asking me when my last HIV test was.

Cheers!

Well please take your “heck” somewhere else. A perfectly good thread has been trashed by your petty crap.

That’s about right.

—He’s worse than a mullah.—

Not true. To wit:

1. I bathe (actually shower—takes less time).

2. I shave.

3. I don’t keep goats around (my development frowns on those things, anyhow!)

4. I don’t force my wife and daughters to walk around in black bedsheets in public (or private for that matter).

5. I suppose I do face the East from time to time, but not for any particular reason.

Hope this clears things up.

A small, educated cadre of college students.

Hardly. You don't get the numbers in these protests simply from universities. From some of the videos I've seen, there are three generations of people out there, right down to gray-haired old women. People across the city are chanting from the rooftops at night.

And I'd bet my last dollar that any support the "backcountry" folks have for IaNutJob is the same kind of support Iraqi citizens had for Hussein: support him or suffer.

Gets people worked up for nothing.

What are you doing here? There are Christians in Iran too and there are people who want freedom from the tyranny........Why are you opposed to any Western person feeling outrage at what is going on in Iran as well as outrage against our current administration's lack of vociferous condemnation against the Iranian govt's murder of it's own citizens"

Oh, I know.....It's like the tree that fell in the woods. If we didn't have access to the on scene videos of the attrocities going on in Iran then it didn't really happen.......

Yea, that makes sense. Why get all worked up for nothing..........

Whatever your intention was it's revealed a fundamental flaw in your character.

Namely, you're an a**hole.

He already has, you see.

In fact, he cordially invited me to intercourse myself.

And that is after he asked when my last HIV test was, in response to my posting the William F. Buckley video, and asking if his fixation on homosexuals (see post 164, and my comment in 192) was related to Vidal...

Cheers.

People who post such ill-informed balderdash in such a contemptuous tone usually don’t want to hear that they are ignorant. They will never believe you, anyway, and just say that you are a fool of the media that you read, and that THEY have the only valid information needed to decide on an opinion.

It’s very good of you to suggest that the poster educate him- or herself, but people with closed minds usually won’t open them enough to let any new knowledge inside. It’s sad to think of a brain wasted.
