Egyptian security forces have used tear gas on a raging crowd of demonstrators near the US Embassy in Cairo. Several dozen people have reportedly been injured as the police dispersed the stone-throwing demonstrators.
Riot police have managed to push a group of several hundred protesters back in Cairo's side streets near the embassy.
Some of the protesters have been injured, state news agency MENA reported, giving no further details. Witnesses reporting the incident on Twitter said as many as several dozen people may have been injured.
The incident comes just a day after some 2,000 demonstrators gathered around the US embassy, while a group of the most conservative protesters tore down the American flag and replaced it with a black banner bearing the traditional Islamic message, There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Prophet.

My prediction: The US Embassy in Cairo will fall and more Americans will die.
This is Zer0’s equivalent of U.S. Embassy in Tehran crisis that Jimmy Carter experienced when he let the Shah of Iran leave power, giving rise to Ayatollah Khomeini.

The Iranian hostage-takers didn't harm the hostages because they weren't sure we wouldn't smoke all of Tehran if they did so. They even let one hostage go when he developed a serious illness.
These guys, on the other hand, know to a certainty that Obumbo won't lift a finger no matter what they do. Kill the ambassador, kill a bunch of other Americans, burn the embassy itself, hoist their own flag over it, whatever. They know nothing will happen.
Obviously lots of other American embassies are in lots of other touchy locations. Obumbo is letting the word go out to the legions of nutjobs in all those places.
If the SHTF, he'll just blame Romney for politicizing it. The default media will carry his water on that one, no problemo. Of course, media bias will be the least of our problems by that time.
It is to our ruin that we have a corrupt media that I call the State Owned Enemy of .Freedom.
