   Don’t get me wrong I am in full support of elections being legal and scrutinized. But why is that Republicans, the right wing war pushers etc are in full support of violent protest in Iran yet called peaceful protest in the states anti american and then the media endlessly rolled clips of the few violent protesters amongst the millions of anti invasion marches over and over again in our media in a bad light.

   What bullshit, what manipulation. If those same protesters throwing rocks at the Iranian cops, and starting fires in the streets were American protesters they would be shown in a very bad light in our media. What a contradiction what hypocrisy.

   Rep Pence, Senator Chambliss, Pat Buchanan etc all celebrating Iranian protesters where were their words of encouragement to U.S. citizens protesting the selection of President Bush and the illegal invasion of Iraq

  Why do you cite the protesters as throwing rocks at the Iranian government agents?
  Why not rail at protesters chipping the government goons batons by being hardheaded, or yelling too loudly while being beaten?
  Is there some reason that you have to defend this kind of crap?

   Thanks, egregious.

   I know you are asking today, “How long will it take?” Somebody’s asking, “How long will prejudice lust for power blind the visions of men, darken their understanding, and drive bright-eyed wisdom from her sacred throne?” Somebody’s asking, “When will wounded justice, lying prostrate on the streets of Selma Tehran and BirminghamShiraz communities all over the South, Iran be lifted from this dust of shame to reign supreme among the children of men?” Somebody’s asking, “When will the radiant star of hope be plunged against the nocturnal bosom of this lonely night, plucked from weary souls with chains of fear and the manacles of death? How long will justice be crucified, and truth bear it?” I come to say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment, however frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because “truth crushed to earth will rise again.” How long? Not long, because “no lie can live forever.” How long? Not long, because “you shall reap what you sow.”

   “How long? Not long, because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
