Maybe we could force the MSM back to the topic if we ALL refuse to let up on the subject of Iran. The blogosphere, after all, is not influence-less.

The media jackals live in a bubble insulted from the very reality which they claim to represent. Let’s not clue them in.
Let them devour each other like the ego maniacal cannibals that they are.

Turn off the tube and work to defeat the State Run Media.
Live Free or Die.

I like the quote JP posted from McCain. Where was that McCain on the campaign trail?

On Atlas I saw an open letter from someone in Iran asking Israel to help with broadcasting news into the country. I don’t quite know what to think of that. On the one hand I like the idea of Iranians asking for help from Jews, but on the other hand I wouldn’t be surprised if the new Iranian government would turn around and bite Israel if the revolution succeeds.

Regardless I love the pic. Green on fingers making peace sign. I feel for the youth of Iran.

Our nation is fixated on American idols, living or dead.

A moment of silence in the House of Reps?

We’re grieving over such nonsense.

If I were a “troofer” I’d believe that Michael Jackson’s doctor was paid to give Jacko an extra boost of Demerol just to make sure Iran disappeared from the news, the front pages and from Twitter…which, incidentally, it has.

Question is, then, who paid to have Jacko whacked?

Is there a Rahm solution behind all of this?

Maybe that twisted sister song should be the theme song for the next tea party on July 4th.

I find that video amazing particularly the shot of the size of the crowd. It filled the streets for what looked like a couple of miles! Hey folks! If you’re seriously peed-off about the way our country is moving, we need a similar showing on Independence Day at a Tea Party near you!

Yeah, who cares if millions of people are risking their lives to remain free, some overrated, freakshow, has-been pervert just OD’d on drugs?

Our media just all around sucks.

+ 1 !! Yep, he’s dead alright, someone should tell the MSM that all their coverage is not going to bring him back or stop the world from turning. Incredibly important stuff is continuing to happen. Our society is so sheltered that the death of a pop star continues to be shown and speculated about.

Did Congress observe a minute of silence for the hundreds in Iran who were murdered in cold blood for seeking freedom? No, of course not. They don’t care about no stinking freedom.
Over 800 newspapers were published today with Jackson’s death featured on the front page. How many of those newspapers reported the horrors being inflicted in Iran with the same prominence?
Perhaps if we had elected a man instead of a sock-puppet, we would be more attuned to the evils of regimes in Iran and other muslim-dominated countries, and the violence sanctioned by those who use religion to suppress and subjugate.
A coworker, a liberal kool-aid drinker, wore a bright green shirt to the office on the day that Ocommie announced that there was little difference between the Iranian candidates and that we should not be seen as meddling. I asked her if she was wearing green to show solidarity with the Iranians in the streets asking for their voices to be heard. She looked at me and said, “Absolutely NOT!”
I can barely stand to live in a world where priorities are so upside down and personalities are more important than persons. I weep for my children and the mess they will inherit, if we last that long.

This song it about violence is not the answer, run away from the fight, don’t stand up for yourself. Well no, it’s anti-gang violence in a liberal way of doing it. So yeah, not the best song. - The Cat They should use this. MirCat on June 26, 2009 at 5:41 PM

I agree, but the one I linked to above is IMHO the best, it’s much more powerful and the song Invincible (by Pat Benatar) makes it even more powerful than Beat It for many reasons including the one you state above. Here's the link to the video again watch it, it's worth it!
