Iranian Woman Shot to Death on Video, Obama Goes for Ice Cream

Obama won't back the protesters because if the thugocracy crushes them, Barry will need to negotiate with the mullahs. It's getting harder and harder to justify that position when you see stuff like this. This woman was reportedly just standing with her father watching the protests when the Iranian State Police gunned her down. If you would prefer to go for ice cream, like the president did this afternoon, instead of witnessing the tyranny that Obama is appeasing, I don't blame you. But then again, you are not the President of the United States.
WARNING: The woman dies before your eyes.
Video is on a Facebook account here.
H/T to Ace, who has lots more.
UPDATE:
Our good friend American Genie gave us a good link for more graphic footage of the carnage in Iran. While seeing stuff like this may be distasteful, it is the real world, it is America's real enemy, and Obama is really going to have to deal with these people. So when the appeasement continues (and that is exactly what this is), let's not hear about how the United States had no idea how bad these guys were. These are the bad guys. Good guys like us defeat guys like them.

Thanks for the info Genie. I updated the post with your links.
The Pro Iranian Militia that's fighting the protestors, is something that Mr. Obama had proposes for the US. Remember, the "Civilian Force" with authority and funding equal to the Military. Scary Stuff!
Robert L., your post is my sentiments exactly. We need to be very wary of this "Civilian Force". It could turn out to be the modern day "Brown Shirts".
So if he didn't get ice cream the woman would have lived? Should Bush have not gone to vacation with his dad in Maine when troops were dying in Iraq?
My point was apparently lost on both Harrison and Kelly. The "going for ice cream," while literally true, was meant metaphorically as a criticism of Obama's policy on this crisis. He is simply not in the game. He is screwing around trying to nationalize health care, which most assuredly does not need nationalizing, while people are gunned down in the streets of one of America's most belligerent and dangerous enemies.
Does Obama lose some sort of high ground by saying America stands, as it always has, for free people to speak freely, govern themselves, and live without tyranny and oppression from their own government and that he condemns the government of Iran for its actions? If you want to be cynical about it, if Obama is concerned that he won't be able to talk Iran out of it's nukes (heh - he wouldn't be the only one who thought that) once he does that, then he can give the mullahs a wink and tell them that politically that is what he had to say.
Once again, this is appeasement: let murderous thugs get away with murderous deeds against innocent people, rationalize the thugs' actions, and make no sudden moves to anger them further lest they take things one step further. The Austrians and Czechoslovakians in the late 1930's would recognize this policy in a New York minute.
I love putting you on the defensive, Bill. You have your fun dangling me on a hook now and then. This time I got you. Smile.
But I completely agree with you. I remember vividly the wise-ass libs talking about W reading to children and all the smackdowns throughout his presidency. I remember the same things with Reagan. Then their petard was hoist as they defended Clinton getting a blowjob in the oval office from an intern as a "personal issue" and "just sex" - positions clearly not afforded republicans.
And now they miff about defending Obama. It is more transparent than even his claims of transparency.
One thing wholly lacking in libs is a single standard. They judge based upon party affiliation, and that is just disappointing.
Harrison, you are an idiot. He went to get ice cream instead of dealing with the Iranian Crisis. Perhaps if he tried a little harder to, ya know, be president. Less people would have died. But of course a moron democrat like you would just take a shot at Bush instead of facing the facts. Moron.
Little harsh, Joe, but I get your point.
To me, it was not ice cream or b'ball when other presidents go to church, it is the cumulative effect of O's "present" votes on all the tough shots, how consistently he backs down on positions (Turkey when Egypt and Jordan said no, NK when China balked, Russia, etc.).
It's as if all O knows what to do is take a position as if it were a political trial balloon, and then he pulls the the tether when the winds are too strong.
That, to me, is why people can criticize ice cream - his entire presidency is doing personal stuff. No strong leadership. No strongly held positions. Nothing.
If he stood for something steadfastly, maybe it would give a basis for discussion. But even healthcare - he says he wants it and DOESN'T SUBMIT A DRAFT. "Let the legislative branch figure it out." OMG.
Just disappointing.
btw, Harrison's a nice guy.
Joe,
I understand your point also, but Harrison is not an idiot, nor a moron & when one attacks someone else with name calling like you did here it does not help the conservative cause.
While I do not agree with Harrison about everything I have noted that he is always calm & insightful with his comments. No need to attack him that way.
I have on occasion been frustrated & angry enough to resort to name calling, but always regret it when I do because it adds nothing to the discussion & makes me look like a horse's ass. Look in the mirror next time you want to call someone an idiot or a moron. Try it on for size.
Politicians are the exception to the rule. however. :-)
God bless America!
and what would you prefer he do? would you like him to bunker down in his lair, like Cheney? or would you rather he go chop wood, like Bush?
Kelly, I didn't write this post nor do I approve of the blithe criticism of Obama going for ice cream. However, Vice President Cheney was being protected from an unknown quantum of attack when he was in his "lair" as you put it. W chopping wood? Not sure of the reference.
But Obama's issue is that he is on the sidelines. Iran is cracking down worse than Tienanmen. The UK is active in its support of the people's rights to demonstrate. Even Slovenia is stepping up with embassy support for wounded. Obama is caught in his own web - if the "revolution" (if that is not too strong a word, fails, he thinks he won't be able to do his talking thing on the nuclear front. So he is frozen in position. He's already said that a new administration there probably wouldn't change - see the Iran Revolution v2.0 post. It is Newsweek criticizing him - not just me.
Being frozen in place, afraid to lead - is not being on the right side of history on this issue.

Congressional Democrats point finger of blame a...
Poor guy. One of the problems with yelling at people, berating people, and generally thuggish behavior towards people is that it doesn't exactly engender loyalty. Eventually they turn, even if it's not your fault.The share of the blame comes as cracks are beginning to show in Emanuel’s once-impregnable political armor... on Capitol Hill he’s under fire for poor execution of the president’s healthcare agenda in the Senate... Senate Democrats grilled White House advisers last week during a special Senate Democratic retreat, expressing frustration over the lack of a clear plan. While Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) ripped chief political strategist David Axelrod, Senate Democrats say Emanuel, who was more closely involved in managing negotiations in Congress, also deserves scrutiny.

Michelle O: Barry has done a "phenomenol job"
A solid B-plus:Michelle Obama defended her husband against some of his most vocal critics, saying President Obama did a "phenomenal" job this year and that change is a long-term process. The first lady talks about her nationwide campaign called "Let's Move." "I think my husband has done a phenomenal job staying on course, looking his critics in the eye, coming up with clear solutions against staying the course," Michelle Obama told Robin Roberts in an exclusive morning television interview on "Good Morning America." "That's what leadership is. But people have the right to criticize the President of the United States."
Let me finish that last thought for you, Michelle. I see you rubbing your hands together and thinking, "Yes, for now people have the right to criticize him, but we're working on changing that."Views: 35 Comments: 0

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Lends Fundraising Muscle to ...
Following on the last story, this certainly will help.In his letter, being sent out to Arpaio supporters today as part of a 100,000-person national direct mail drop, the sheriff calls Hayworth's decision to challenge McCain "courageous." And he pledges to help Hayworth "every step of the way." "Senator McCain has served this country admirably but it's time to replace his moderate or even liberal positions on taxes, the border, social causes and big bank bailouts with a consistent conservative like J.D.," Arpaio continues. "After years of running over Republican principles his entire career no election year conversion to our way of thinking will save his campaign from voters that want conservatives to be a part of the solution rather than part of the problem," he says.

From Right of Radio Dial, a Challenge to McCain...
Not buying it, Senator McCain.McCain now finds himself jammed, moving starkly — and often awkwardly — to the right, apparently in an effort to gain favor among the same voters whom Mr. Hayworth, a consistent voice for the far right, could pull toward him like taffy come summer. McCain now sharply criticizes the bailout bill he voted for, pivoted from his earlier position that the Guantánamo Bay detention facility should be closed, offered only a muted response to the Supreme Court’s decision undoing campaign finance laws and backed down from statements that gays in the military would be O.K. by him... “John is undergoing a campaign conversion,” Mr. Hayworth said. Hayworth’s radio-personality bluster and big emotions.. may now have a part in the greater populist narrative that threatens many of the nation’s more centrist Republicans.

Defiant Iran accelerates nuclear program
I thought Obama was going to talk these things over with his boy Mahmoud and smooth everything out. Instead, Ahmadinejad remains "defiant." How's that hope-y change-y working out for us?Iran said Tuesday that it had begun producing higher-grade enriched uranium, marking a new and potentially dangerous turn in Tehran's confrontation with the West over its nuclear ambitions... U.S. National Intelligence Director Dennis C. Blair told the House intelligence committee last week that "Iran has the scientific, the technical, the industrial capacity to produce enough highly enriched uranium for a weapon in the next few years and eventually to produce a nuclear weapon. The central issue is a political decision by Iran to do so."

Reid's Jobs Bill will have "Republican Support"
Looks like there's been some compromise here, as the GOP gets an extension of tax cuts that expired last year. I don't know if this is a good thing - I don't see much incentive for the GOP to do anything but obstruct the Dems at every possible point between now and November.I wouldn't want my fingerprints on anything this administration or congress proposes. Reid told reporters the bill would be introduced on Tuesday, and that it would include an extension of the tax breaks... Reid did not say how expensive the jobs bill would be. The Senate had been considering a package of roughly $80 billion. The House passed a larger jobs bill before Christmas, but now plans to unveil a different bill independent of that package, which did not garner Republican support.

Without Murtha, Dems now one vote short of pass...
Didn't realize the implications of Murtha's passing today, which include the following...Back in November, the House passed its health care bill by a narrow 220 to 215 margin, with 39 Democrats voting against it. Since then, the one Republican who voted for it — Joseph Cao — has indicated that he would not support the bill a second time around given the weaker language on abortion in the Senate version. In addition, Florida Rep. Robert Wexler already retired prematurely. Factor in Murtha’s death today, and Pelosi is down to 217 votes — one short of passage. To pass the bill at some point in the next few months, she’ll need to flip a Democrat who is already on record voting against the bill.

Republicans and the Populist Temptation could T...
A warning from my favorite economic analyst, Donald Luskin.Don't think that Republicans can't be sucked in when an anti-Wall Street lynch mob gets its blood up. Recall that Sarbanes-Oxley, the devastating antigrowth response in 2002 to the Enron and Worldcom scandals, was passed with virtually unanimous support by Republicans in Congress, and signed by a Republican president. Recall that last year 85 House Republicans voted for a 90% tax on bonuses for any employee of any bank that took more than $5 billion in TARP money. Investors got some good news last Friday. Stocks resisted following through on Thursday's sharp plunge after (Congress) reached an impasse on bank re-regulation. That's a nice down payment on what investors need a lot more of now: proof that the GOP won't join Democrats in a populist rush to seek revenge against Wall Street.

Message to Democrats: Wall St. Sends Cash to GO...
Great news, but these guys were a little late in realizing that Obama wants to destroy all their corporations and confiscate their money. Not quite sure how they missed that.Just two years after Mr. Obama helped his party pull in record Wall Street contributions — $89 million from the securities and investment business, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics — some of his biggest supporters, like Mr. Dimon, have become the industry’s chief lobbyists against his regulatory agenda. Republicans are rushing to capitalize on what they call Wall Street’s “buyer’s remorse” with the Democrats. And industry executives and lobbyists are warning Democrats that if Mr. Obama keeps attacking Wall Street “fat cats,” they may fight back by withholding their cash.

Dow closes below 10,000 for first time in 3 mon...
The Dow sinks below a major psychological threshold.The Dow, down almost 104 points, had its 10th triple-digit move in 16 trading days. Shares of big banks pulled the market lower, extending a slump that has led to four straight weekly losses.
I can't, for the life of me, understand why bank stocks would be dropping. Inexplicable.Views: 57 Comments: 2

Thanks for this post, Bill. I'll take your word as far as the video goes. People need to know what is going on in Iran.
I posted some links at my blog to a site run by a fellow named Alan Peters that had some pretty graphic still photos from inside Iran. It's horrible what is happening.
I urge everyone who prays to pray for the innocents in Iran.
God bless America!
