Al Jazeera now has a live blog of what is going on.
Friday prayers are over and protests and riots are occuring as they leave their mosques.

I already posted that a KFC has been attacked and set on fire in Lebanon.
Now there are protests in Tunisia at our Embassy.

And these are not "handfuls" of people, there are hundreds upon hundreds protesting.
This blog is also posting pictures of the protests and riots.

This beats waiting for any US MSM site to tell us what is really going on over there.

Sadly I just heard that Libya has been fighting ALL Summer and who reported it???????

WHO??????


The &%$#$*@& MEDIA needs to stop this sh*t of Protecting obama and report way the hell is going on!

They knew the attacks were going to happen that killed Stevens and his staff and HILLARY/WHITE HOUSE DID NOTHING but ignored it.
Clintons ignored the chatter before 9/11 also and look why happened on our soil!

Clinton had osama numerous times and right before kill/capture he called if off has he got him then osama's group would not have been able to grow into what they are now and 9/11 would never of happened.

A Texas college campus is being cleared because of threats from a ME man how many more of these are going to happen in this country now that 9/11 has passed?
We have occupants in the WH that have no sense of leadership leading and it is frightening

Well our MSM is finally picking this up and reporting.
Only Al Jazeera had stuff 2 hours ago about Tunisia along with pictures of our Embassy up in flames.

And those pictures tell a thousand words. There are hundreds if not thousands protesting.
These are not handfuls of protesters like we were led to believe by our government and MSM.

These people are ridicoulous--they're protesting and rioting over what is basically a YouTube video no one in America had ever heard of a few days ago.

In the USA, we're much more civilized--we only riot over sport championships or when a college fires a football coach who hid a child molester.

Al Jazeera also has an interesting opinion piece on the subject, penned by an American:

Now that is truly journalistic work. Thanks for the link.
Articles like that have long been gone from our news sites.

I read Al Jazeera fairly regularly to find out what is going on.

Me too unfortunately. It sucks that we have to go to foreign news sources to get the least biased and most importantly, well written, articles.

Because that is what it is. That movie is not the reason, maybe the catalyst but not the reason.
