Iran is a primitve, savage, half-civilized nation. In primitve, savage, half-civilized nations, people are occasionally slaughtered by regime thugs. If this was the Congo or Haiti, Malkin would not have batted an eyelash. Why is Ms. Full Metal Jacket so shocked over this “Voice” person being killed in Tehran, as opposed to Kinshasa or Port-au-Prince? Somehow, Malkin reminds me of the Claude Rains character in “Casablanca” who is “shocked” that gambling is going on.

Actually, as a whole, Iranian citizens are the most well-educated of all the Middle Eastern countries. I certainly wouldn't call them "primitive." They have a large population of young people, many pro-Western, who have obviously been sitting on ther hands and waiting for their chance for a long time.

I just wish this had happened a year ago when we had a real President in the White House and not a fraudulent interloper.

You are very poorly informed. You should probably do some research about Iran and the people that live there, rather than the superficial BS that you think you might know.

..... You write with breezy confidence. Have you ever read anything about {Persian and Iranian history? Have you ever visited Iran? Have you ever met or conversed with any Iranians?

Just curious...

Persia is neither primitive nor “half civilized”

The shah was not overthrown because of fears of “modernization”, though it may have been used as a cover term for fears of encroachment of foreign culture. In 1978 another American President voted “not present” when it came to responding to the turmoil in Iran.

But the shia theocracy and its playing to primitive emotion has cost two generations of Iranians their chance to advance in the modern world. The tide is now bigger than they can hold back, imho.

You're perfectly o.k. with Greek communist rioters, though, aren't you?

"At least these kids have the gumption to get off of their backsides and take to the street when they realize they’re being screwed. Not just a bunch of passive whiners like most young people in the West, these days.

[Mr. Silverback]

I will say this even though you’re banned.

I will say this even though you’re unlikely to listen.

I will say this because it’s true and should be said.

You’re a vile punk, and no conservative.

Reagan stood up for the Polish people, the Nicaraguan people, the El Salvadoran people and everyone in the Soviet bloc who yearned to breathe free.

You, meanwhile, stand with Senator Infanticide. Moreover, you seem proud of your ignorance about the Iranian people and what their nation used to be before Khomeni’s freak show took over. But mostly, what stands out is that while people die in the streets because they want their votes counted, you think it’s all a big joke and nothing for the President of the United States to even have some decorum about, much less condemn.

Crawl back under your rock and repent.
