Khamenei's Coup
By Mehdi Khalaji
Monday, June 15, 2009

Large-scale manipulation of Friday's presidential election in Iran was to be expected, but few could have predicted that Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had a military coup in mind. By declaring incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the winner, Khamenei conveyed a clear message to the West: Iran is digging in on its nuclear program, its support to Lebanese Hezbollah and Palestinian Hamas, and its defiant regional policies.

In the streets of Tehran and other major cities, riot police, members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Basij militias are battling reformist demonstrators who are protesting the results. The government has cut Internet connections and cellphone service and jammed foreign satellite TV and radio broadcasts. Most foreign journalists in Iran to cover the election were expelled after the voting ended. More than 100 leaders of the reform movement have been detained so far, and others are under what amounts to house arrest.

Even though Khamenei asked the candidates not to dispute the results, a reformist group called the Council of Militant Clerics, led by former president Mohammad Khatami, apologized to the people for not being able to protect their votes and asked the government to overturn this result and hold new elections. In statements Sunday, two of the presidential candidates, Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, asked people to continue their "nonviolent demonstration" throughout the country and criticized the government for using violence against demonstrators.

3. E-mail from my VRW cousin in Idaho:
1. He's a secret Muslim; as every one knows, all Muslim are terrorists.

2. We know where his true loyalties lay, because he was born in Iran, not Kenya like everybody thinks and certainly not in Hawaii like he tries to tell us.

3. We know he wasn't born in Hawaii, because he says he was. We can't believe him because he isn't upstanding and forthright like Dick Cheney. We know he's a Muslim and not a Christian because he says he's a Christian and attended Rev. Wringht church for many years. But, as every one knows, Rev. Wright is actually a secret Muslim, too.

4. He's a . . . a . . . a . . . (rhymes with pi]digger). And, as we all know, those people all belong in the slammer and none of them ever got a job, not even President of the United States or first-string NFL quarterback, without getting it through some anti-white male, racist affirmative action program. We know this is true because Rush says so every day. And although some librul scambage say Rush is a racist, we know that isn't true because he always calls them "black" and never what rhymes with digger.

So, there, you fucking pinhead libruls. That's proof that Barack Hussein Obama is a racist Iranian Muslim terrorist who became president because the federal government needed to fill an unconstitutional racial quota. Go ahead, hit me with your best shot.

2. It has NOTHING to do with us. And all the 'Obama Effect' articles ahead of the vote were stupid.
It's not about us or our president.

The Iranian people started pushing their prez's party out of office in 2006 and it looks like he made sure that wasn't going to happen in this election.
