“The people you see running through the streets of Tehran are the same as the ones who ran through the streets of Chicago in ‘68.”

It took them 41 years to run from Chicago to Tehran?

Bunch of alowpokes.

That is so self-contridictory that I don’t even know where to start. First of all, right up until this moment, the media was kissing up to A’jad because they saw him as the rebel against America (see Roger Cohen, Robert Fisk, et al).

Now you are saying that suddenly A’jad is the Man, and the media is now kissing up to the protesters because they are 60s-style anti-establishment rebels?

Do the media know who they are rooting for anymore? Do you?

Why do people say “they could care less” when they mean “they could not care less?”

Give it up paleo-cons. The people you see running through the streets of Tehran are the same as the ones who ran through the streets of Chicago in ‘68. They are the Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrns of todays Iran. That is the spoiled children of the wealthy middle class. Naturally the media gives them all the attention; see Chicago ‘68. But just as Nixon had his silent majority Mr. A. had his silent majority of working class, poor and rural folk.

P.S. To Roger L. Simon and many people who post here:
I pray for you all whenever I catch myself thinking sad or negative thoughts I pray for people I’ve come to know and that helps me overcome my negative vibes. I even pray for David S., Sheesh and Vivo et al because they are people too.

What kind of choice is B+ vs. B-?

#42 It is axiomatic in politics that massive turnouts seldom favor incumbents. This is doubly true in Iran where the it has been estimated that perhaps 40% of eligible voters did not cast their ballots in the 2005 elections as a protest over a lack of real choice in a system where the mullahs determine which names gets on the ballot. Add in the fact the Iranian economy is in even more of a shambles today than it was in 2005 and it takes either willful ignorance or overt bigotry to believe the Iranian masses turned out in record numbers to say more of the same, please.
