Bloody day in Iran

[DarrinS]

If it weren't for YouTube and Twitter, the "Iran protests" would be a small blurb on a world news report. They don't seem to have anywhere near the numbers needed for any kind of revolution. Perhaps a step in the revolution direction ... but it's getting sensationalized due to the new media. Americans are eating this ish up but it will get stomped out quite easily.

I don't know, there was a pretty significant turnout Friday. Looked like DC after Obama won.

In 1979 the Iranians wanted a theocracy. Completely the opposite in 2009. Just saying.

Sigh.

[ChumpDumper]

Great example. Thanks.

Don't be stupid and I won't call you stupid. Thanks.

[MannyIsGod]

So, they want a theocracy, but they chant "death to the Supreme Leader"?

Strange.

You have absolutely no idea what they want do you?

[sook]

Darrins is quite misinformed.

The video playing on CNN right now is terrifying.

[DarrinS]

Don't be stupid and I won't call you stupid. Thanks.

I'm not dumb, but you are a .

[ChumpDumper]

I'm not dumb, but you are a .

You are ignorant and proud of it.

You are a neocon and want to pretend you aren't.

You outright lie for no reason other than to try to save your own fatally flawed arguments.

I am definitely a to such people. It's your tough if you can't handle it.

[jman3000]

Don't be stupid and I won't call you stupid. Thanks.

That pretty much sums it up.

You make statements that are almost humorously easy to refute and then you want to engage in a serious discussion based on your sarcasm and lack of facts vs. the truth?

[MannyIsGod]

So, they want a theocracy, but they chant "death to the Supreme Leader"?

Strange.

Does you constantly ing about Obama mean you don't want a president?

[jman3000]

Here comes a storm of sarcastic comments and smilies....

[MannyIsGod]

Oh, ok. I mostly post in response to ChumpDumper's smartass snide comments. He really has nothing to contribute to any discussion, other than to try and put someone else down. But, that seems to be a common theme on this board.

I guess you could say we suffer fools poorly.

[DarrinS]

Does you constantly ing about Obama mean you don't want a president?

Ha ha. Good one. You got me there.

[jman3000]

Everything I had read says "death to the dictator" -- meaning Ahmadinejad.

The reports are unconfirmed... but I'd honestly believe it at this point. He basically gave the green light to massacre these people. They have no reason not to wish death upon him.

[DarrinS]

I'm just curious, Manny, are you a 20-something recent graduate with a liberal arts degree?

[ChumpDumper]

This will certainly add to the discussion.

[DarrinS]

This will certainly add to the discussion.

Was I addressing you?


BTW, your comments add absolutely nothing to the discussion.

[sook]

someone cut T-Mac's head out and put Obama's there for Darrins

[ChumpDumper]

Was I addressing you?

I am directly addressing you.

How do you plan to add to the discussion with that question?

[DarrinS]

I actually liked what Obama had to say today. Happy?

[DarrinS]

With all due respect, please off.

[ChumpDumper]

BTW, your comments add absolutely nothing to the discussion.

On the contrary, your misinformation and ignorance needs to be exposed for what they are.

Fortunately, as others said, it's really easy to do so.

[jman3000]

Because if he answers yes he can just dismiss him as another creation of the ins utionalized liberal agenda.

[ChumpDumper]

With all due respect, please off.

This is really adding to the discussion.

This thread has devolved into a "bash DarinS" thread.

In other news:

Apparently there was reports of non-Farsi speaking Basij members. Which hints at Iran importing foreign help... which in turn kinda sorta hints that maybe some of the Basij have defected. I don't wanna read too much into it... but it makes sense.

Sort of similar to all the foreign fighters that popped up in Iraq after the invasion.
