"Democracy died in Iran and all I got was Mint-Chocolate Chip!"

“Really you’re straining at gnats and swallowing a camel. The very best eyewitness has inconsistencies - that’s what keeps defense attorneys employed. You’ve got a camera eyewitness and you’re still not satisfied.”
There are enough people who are not Iranian operatives who have questions about the incident. There is nothing wrong with examining it. Do you really think that Mousavi is not capable of faking something to keep the fire going?
Of course he is.
Is this faked? I don’t know. To me, there appears to be something in a hand that turns out is probably her hand. Perhaps the illusion is because her hand is curled. Is this a legitimate event. I don’t know the answer to that. I think it is but there is nothing wrong with examining it. Hell, look at how many different opinions there are about the infamous JFK film that was a camera eyewitness.
It is a good thing to question anything that could be used as propaganda.
Is Mousavi that much better than the current Nut Job?
Doubtful.
Perhaps he will be worse.
People were determined to get rid of George Bush. Anyone was better than GWB according to many.
Look what they got instead.
And who would take over for him? Joseph Freaking Biden?!!!
The face that brought down a tyrant.
She will not have died in vain.
That lovely face will galvanize their forces.
“so you must be seeing only what you want to see.”
There are many people who are not Iranian operatives who have seen the same thing. I originally thought it was someone elses hand but I think it is Neda’s hand.
Do you really think there are not people in Iran who would stage such an incident to incite more rioting?
You people act like it is a sin to dare question a video.
There is enough blocked view as the camera was witnessing it with some parts that are blurry that is it POSSIBLE that someone could have faked the whole thing.
But to me, she looks like she died.
There is too much blocked view to rule out trickery . It is her appearance that looks like death to me.
This may or may not be a destabilizing moment like 1979. Mass movements like this are completely unpredictable.
But regardless of the motive, I don't see how this could be faked. I don't see how you can have blood in your eye and not blink, or have blood fill up your nose and mouth and not cough or spray the blood, or keep your eyes fixed and let them glaze over for an extended period of time.
There are reports on Twitter that khamenei has fled Tehran.
Yes, it is about much more than the election. Maybe they will get rid of the Mullahs.
Many of us said the same thing in 1992. Yet Vicki Weaver's killer freely walks the streets of America today.
Of course. And, had it been during President Bush's term, it would have been front page news blaming him!
So that may be the source of the rumors, at least he's thinking about getting out of Dodge.
May he cut and run like King James of the Cowardice!

Send the video to Pelosi, Reid, the Fuhrer, and the rest of the Socialists in Congress.
I read through this thread, watched the video, read all your comments, and took a good look at a couple of the still shots.
There is WAY too much blood coming from her nose and mouth to have come from only a vial. They are filled with it.
I pinged a couple of medical doctors here. If they don't mind, perhaps they could verify whether this is real or not. It sure seems it to me, and I don't see why you're so hellbent on maintaining that it is all fake.
Neverdem and MomMD, if you don't want to check this out or comment on it, I'll certainly understand. Just because you're doctors, doesn't mean that you can view this and be unaffected. It's very unsettling.
Those of us who didn’t want to see the video can do without people posting stills thank you very much.
Damn! He needs to eat some ice cream! I never realized he's so scrawny and emaciated.
Nose and mouth filled with blood but no coughing or choking.
Some trick.
A stunning feat of acting if she faked it isn't it?
Sorry that you are offended.
It is what it is.
IMO, the story MSM won’t report needs to be told. There is always CNN for the Obamanized or DNC talking point view.
You haven’t a clue. I am not offended, I just didn’t want to see it, that’s why I didn’t click the link to watch the video. You posting a still here is not going to tell a story the MSM isn’t telling. You deliberately violated an unwritten rule that graphic images should be linked. It’s just thoughtless on your part.
interesting how he got it to come out of her nose and into her eye like that...
