"Check out this description of the protesters: "The AP says the protesters were largely ultra-conservative Islamists." Don't they mean radical Islamists? "

They wanted to call them tea party Islamists.

They have invaded the sovereign territory of the United States of America. Shoot every single one who comes over the wall. Period.

And plan b was to call them "Bible clinging Christian fundamentalist" Islamists.

But the editor told them that wouldn't fly either.

That savage country should be left to die on its own. Guess these “brave men” were able to tear themselves away from their daily rapes of schoolgirls and news reporters to do this- unbelievable.

“Strong response coming from the WH ...
“Please stop doing that and give us our flags back ... please.” “


IMO these are the flags the WH wants flying over the WH.

Remember how they removed the flag from the DOJ web site and replaced with with their black, swat looking crap.

From the Al-Reuters article on Drudge:

“We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others,” the U.S. embassy said in its statement.

One slogan scrawled on the walls of the embassy, a fortress-like structure that is near Tahrir Square where Egyptians revolted against Mubarak, said: “If your freedom of speech has no limits, may you accept our freedom of action.”

There are very few moments in our lives where we have the privilege to witness history taking place. This is one of those moments. This is one of those times. The people of Egypt have spoken, their voices have been heard, and Egypt will never be the same. … Egyptians have inspired us, and they’ve done so by putting the lie to the idea that justice is best gained through violence. For in Egypt, it was the moral force of nonviolence — not terrorism, not mindless killing — but nonviolence, moral force that bent the arc of history toward justice once more. … Today belongs to the people of Egypt, and the American people are moved by these scenes in Cairo and across Egypt because of who we are as a people and the kind of world that we want our children to grow up in.

The word Tahrir means liberation. It is a word that speaks to that something in our souls that cries out for freedom. And forevermore it will remind us of the Egyptian people — of what they did, of the things that they stood for, and how they changed their country, and in doing so changed the world.

-- Barack Obama, in Remarks by the President on Egypt, 11 February 2011

And the Egyptian Islamists just happened to pick 9/11 of all days to scale the walls of the US Embassy in Cairo and tear down the US flag.

Gosh, what a coincidence.

Hammer this home, Mitt.

They’re not going to be happy until that scene is repeated at the White House.

There's more people in Cairo tearing down the US flag at our embassy than Obama can draw to a campaign rally.
