Obama’s Image is Losing its Luster–Everywhere « NewsReal Blog: "It’s been nearly 5 months since the tyrannical Mullahcracy ruling Iran crushed pro-democracy street demonstrations protesting a seriously flawed election, which gave that country’s seriously flawed President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, an undeserved victory.

Amy Goodman, the Marxist host of the seriously flawed Democracy Now! network, has reported that the Iranian regime is at it again. While marking the thirtieth anniversary of the takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran (an event which is celebrated annually in that country), Goodman noted that:

Iranian security forces reportedly beat opposition protesters marching in central Tehran.

Now, this celebratory extravaganza, sponsored by the Iranian Government to officially commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the 1979 takeover of the embassy—where fifty-two Americans were held hostage for 444 days (with, it is widely believed, Ahmadinejad himself being one of the hostage takers)—was a big deal to the mullahs; and they had warned their population weeks in advance that any attempts to disrupt or overshadow the festivities would not be tolerated.

When the main speaker, hard-line lawmaker Gholam Ali Haddad Adel took to the podium, something surprising yet not entirely unexpected happened: the lawmaker immediately attacked the President of the United States."
