Now with the Egyptians, they are almost being egged on. Nothing but talk of how great it is that they are joining together to over throw the government. That is all fine and well, but to treat our own people here, a free country, like crap for using their freedoms to voice their distain with the direction we are heading in is absolute hypocrisy and really just a pathetic joke.
You are 100% correct .
It must be getting harder and harder to carry that Democrat / Obama water but bless them they do it every day.

I believe the Egyptian people were inspired by events that happened in Tunisia, not by encouragement from the US government or the US media. The US influence in the Middle East has waned since the Iranians showed they could overthrow a US backed dictator.

From Obama to most of the media, they are all strongly and loudly egging on the "protestors". Yet we heard a different tone during the recent protests in Iran.

How is it that these are just protestors who "want Democracy and change" yet when our own people here in our country were called racists, violent, etc. Yes, you know what I'm talking about. The town halls, the tea party gatherings, Glenn Beck's mall rally. They were all ridiculed and mocked. There was no violence by the people who gathered there. No call for over throwing the government. No looting. Yet Obama and his friends in the media and celebrities everywhere did nothing but shout false accusations of hate and violence and called them a threat.

Dont get me wrong, if the people of Egypt want to rise up, more power to them. But the how this is covered by the media compared to Iran and even those in our own "FREE" country who marched and held gatherings, well its pretty sick.

This is just further examples of the pathetic biased in our media and says a lot about Obama and those on the Left. What will they say if this whole thing in Egypt back fires? What will they say when what was once our ally, turns into another pseudo-ally that we cant trust at all or worse yet, an enemy?
I agree 100%....

You can say that. I say there are too many out there giving credit to those who little deserve it in order to discredit them. Hope you got the gist of that.
