Intensified Attempts to Further Inspire The Won
I just get so upset. I knew this the day he won the election. just hate to see it. I haven’t watched daytime Fox in over 2 years. Fox is now part of MSM for me.
and we used to all wonder how in the heck did Hitler come to power
” wonder how in the heck did Hitler come to power “
And without obama’s ‘help’, too!!
Obama’s brown shirts= Moslem Brotherhood
Ugh I know. On Fox News Radio I just heard a reporter say “police in plain clothes and government agents” are opposing the protestors. They can’t even bring themselves to admit that people may actually support Mubarak in lieu of Islamic fundamentalists.
GIBBS BRIEFS: Despite all the attention on Egypt in the last week, the White House is focused mostly on the economy, press secretary Robert Gibbs says.
“We understand what peace and stability, and we understand what uncertainty and instability bring to the global economy and to the global economic recovery,” he says. “So I think that this is an administration that obviously has spent a considerable amount of time working on the storm, on Egypt, but continues probably a majority of what we’re doing to work on aspects of the economic recovery.” (2:10 p.m.)
And that’s it. (2:12 p.m.)
More on Egypt, after the jump ...
re. 353; “Muslim Brotherhood has no interest in breaking peace with Israel.
Yeah, right. /s” Indeed.
In Islam they call that “Taquiyya” - Sacramental lying for Allah.
They have stated on numerous occasions that they fully intend to exterminate the Jews; “Every single one of them” according to one reporter. They have also been reporting during this fracas that the Egyptian People need to prepare for war with Israel - obviously one of their top priorities once they get control of Egypt’s military resources.
CNN is spinning the Mubarak supporter presence and violence as government orchestrated.
But John Bolton said this am that he thought Mubarak supporters were coming out now because they are satisfied with Mubarak’s commitment not to run again and they want orderly transition and no looting.
You know, we don’t really know who the protestors are. We know a prison was emptied. We know the Code Pink/Soros/Ayres Leftists have influenced the young. We know Mubarak has cancer. We know we are hearing the MB is full of peace and conservatism (a flagrant piece of disinformation).
We don’t know who’s coming into Egypt.
Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria, Jordan, Yemen... People struggling for freedom and social justice!
Just when you thought you’d just about heard it all —

PA launches pro-Mubarak demonstration in Ramallah
Jerusalem Post ^ | 02/02/2011 20:59 | KHALED ABU TOAMEH
Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2011 12:40:29 PM by FourPeas
Dozens of Fatah supporters demonstrated in Ramallah on Wednesday in support of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
The demonstration is the first of its kind in the West Bank since the beginning of the uprising in Egypt.

For Palestinians, Egyptian unrest is bittersweet
The demonstration coincided with the attack that was launched by Mubarak’s supporters against anti-government protesters in Cairo.
Sources in Ramallah said that the demonstration was initiated by the PA leadership, which has banned anti-Mubarak protests in the West Bank.
The demonstrators shouted slogans condemning Egyptian opposition figure Mohammed ElBaradei as a “CIA agent” and warned against foreign intervention in Egypt’s internal affairs.
Fatah-controlled media outlets on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on ElBaradei, dubbing him a “war criminal” and holding him responsible for the Iraq war.
The PA leadership had until Wednesday refrained from making public comments on the events in Egypt. However, the pro-Mubarak demonstration and the criticism of ElBaradei in Fatah’s media show that PA President Mahmoud Abbas has opted to side with the embattled Egyptian leader.
Abbas was one of few Arab leaders who earlier this week phoned Mubarak to express his solidarity with him against the uprising.
The media IS the enemy. All of it.
Indeed. And Dan Gillerman (former Israeli ambassador to UN) just told Megyn it’s very, very sad to watch the way the US has turned on one of our strongest allies- saying now other allies will have to ask themselves some hard questions.
This is a nightmare scenario.
I had to look it up. That quote is incorrect.
Actual quote from “The Audacity of Hope” [pg. 261]:
“Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
Palestinians, as usual, are their own worst enemy.
El Baradei’s attempt to come off as a Shakespearean Tragic Figure....

EGYPT: Opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei says he fears coming ‘bloodbath’
latimes.com ^ | Feb. 2, 2011
Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2011 12:39:23 PM by Free ThinkerNY
Mohamed ElBaradei, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate emerging as Egypt’s paramount opposition leader, told the Al Jazeera news agency that he feared Wednesday’s violent confrontation in Cairo could escalate into a “bloodbath.”
“I’m extremely concerned, I mean this is yet another symptom, or another indication, of a criminal regime using criminal acts,” ElBaradei, former head of the U.N. nuclear agency, said of the provocative charging of demonstrators by loyalists of embattled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. “My fear is that it will turn into a bloodbath.”
ElBaradei said Mubarak’s regime “does not want to listen to the people, does not want to understand that they need to go,” adding that the president’s insistence on staying in office through fall elections only strengthens the resolve of Egyptians that he must resign “immediately, before the country goes down the drain.”

And then there’s this:
1904: The BBC’s Rupert Wingfield-Hayes says: “Heliopolis is not like the rest of Cairo. It has grand houses and leafy boulevards. Here the police are still welcomed on the streets. This is the home of Egypt’s ruling elite - people like Dr Magid Boutros - a close adviser to Mr Mubarak. He says the president is now determined to stand and fight: ‘He’s an army man. Military commanders, if they abandon their posts, they are shot.’ Outside on the street I was confronted by members of Egypt’s ruling class - educated, articulate and angry. As we returned from Heliopolis our car was forced of the road by another group of angry men. They handed us over to the dreaded Mukhabarat - the secret police in their brown leather jackets. We were handcuffed and blindfolded and taken to an interrogation cell. Three hours later we were released onto a remote backstreet. The regime is hardening its attitude to the protestors and to the foreign media. Egypt’s ruling class is fighting back.”
1900: A close adviser to President Hosni Mubarak has told the BBC that the president is determined to “tough it out”, and will not give in to demands that he step down immediately. He was speaking to our correspondent, Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, who went to the wealthy Cairo suburb of Heliopolis to meet him - and was then detained by Egypt’s secret police.
