I heard ABC News report on the radio at 2:00 PM today that made me sick. They had "sources" that stated that the "Neda" video of her being shot and dying on the street "was definitely not from an Iranian security force" and "appeared to be staged to get international attention". I guess I can't be too surprised. The liberals at ABC News are running propoganda broadcasts for Obama, so why not for the Iranian dictators? Besides, that fight for freedom in Iran is none of our business. ABC and the rest of the American left need to squelch it because the neocons might get all riled up, right?
That had to come from the Head Moron Zero.
What do you expect from those bastards. They don’t even have enough compassion for a human being DYING in the streets. I have no connection to Iran and my heart goes out to them for their suffering. I believe in karma, anyone that can call what happened to Neda as “staged” will have to answer to God one day
Say what you will about liberals, but this Conservative was and still is skeptical on the video.
Why the outrage??
Their ratings are plummeting and they don’t care.
Let them continue their downward slide in peace

A lot of conservatives here questioned it, too.
Me, having regrettably watched it — I just don’t see how it could have been faked. It was appalling. Blood pours out, no blinking, no coughing, no bubbles.
OTOH it seems weird - hurried burial, no body, no funeral, supposedly by government order. So no evidence.
HSAT, I still think it was legit. Ghastly, horrid, unforgettable, legit.
She’s another “Joe the Plumber” a rallying figure and therefore must be taken down, even in death.
Based on what?
Skeptical that she died or skeptical in that she planned to die on camera (and therefore a sting, “***** set me up” - Mayor Marrion Barry).
I questioned it too. For her sake, I hope it was faked. But regardless, I want to see the mullahs brought down....and executed.
As I heard it (I think from CNN) it’s government figures from Iran that are babbling about it being fake. (No surprise.)
Are you sure that ABC hasn’t attributed it to these sources from the islamic regime?
I too saw it, it didn’t look fake. Then again, I’ve never seen anyone shot and killed before. I have to say it was disturbing in a way that movie death scenes are not. But maybe that’s just because I knew it was real.
” - News Report says “Neda” Video was “Staged””
This is called denial by psychologists.
I’m skeptical, but my skepticism is centered around who shot her. And you have to laugh and snort at a news outlet that expresses skepticism about the incident yet buys Arab bullsh!t by the barrel.
Um, yes, maybe she died for nothing. The great and magnificent Oz is unimpressed.
Sometimes, like the man standing facing the tanks in Tiananmen Square in Beijing in 1989, a personal picture of someone who is about to pay the last full measure of devotion to a principle, the game is changed.
Was the game changed when the National Guardsmen fired upon the protestors at Kent State in May 1970? This was used as one of the reasons to generate great emotion about the President of that time.
ABC News where Israelis are evil for refusing to die and Iranian mullah are good for killing.
They serve baal.
