The "watching the revolution on TV" thread
I am reminded of my Uncle Bill (Korea vet) turning to my aunt during Gulf War I and saying, "I can't believe we are watching a war on TV"
CNN actually has some good coverage. Nice crowd shots. A disembodied head dances around the fact that the protestors aren't violent until they get near the security police who ARE violent.
Switch over to MSNBC who had Michael Smerconish on to tell Americans how they should feel about Egypt.
No short answers like the "high food prices" nonsensical explanation given for the Tunisian riots earlier in the week.
Smerconish, from his wood paneled studio, let us know that we have to think of the balance of an allie in Mubarak "who sign a peace agreement with Israel" (that was Sadat you asshat) with blather blather blather - he really didn't give the other side of the story.
No mention of corruption, lack of opportunity, autocratic reign, and of course the elephant in the room that is CLASS WARFARE cannot pass the American publics' ears.
Bakc to CNN - shot of people milling around tanks and APC's on a bridge like it is a car show. Sure don't look violent. "Egypt in crisis" is the CNN tagline.

Oh no...no violence there to speak of.... :whatever:

What a bunch of losers. There is no "revolution" like the kind they are dreaming of.
There won't be any hammer-and-sickle flags flying when Muslim clashes with Muslim. Go back to your bongs and Cheetos ::)

Damn, did y'all start the revolution against Obama and crowd without me?

DUmmies couldn't see the elephant in the room if it sat on 'em!

Some DUmbass seems to have forgotten the daily news coverage of the Vietnam war.

Yep, the daily/weekly death tolls and "The war is lost."

Well...the 0bama revolution comes in a kit...unfortunately, we lost the instructions for the kit.
Looks like the autocratic oligarchs have won again!

Sure they just weren't printed in Chinese?

The radicals will be flying green flags...maybe a few black ones, or some Hezbollah yellow ones, too... but you won't be seeing much of any red flags, stupid superannuated DU Commies.

Does anyone really believe the DUmmies give a tin shit about the Egyptian people? You never heard a peep out of their pieholes about the "poor, oppressed peoples of Egypt" until this latest brouhaha with the civil unrest. No, this is just more of their bullshit living vicariously through the efforts of others. For all their talk of "revolution" they don't have the sack to pry their well-fed asses off the sofa and get in the streets themselves, and so they fantasize that other's revolutions are their revolutions.
Immediately prior to this their biggest concern was, "Oh my! Keith Olbermann! What will we do without him? I do so hope he'll be able to make ends meet." Or, "Poor Bradley! No exercise machines or 800-thread-count sheets to sleep on! Such torture." Creeping little big-talking scumbags.
It's the same way it was with Iraq. They didn't have shit to say about Saddam's secret police raping, torturing and murdering by the thousands until a Republican administration went in to do something about it. Then it was, "Oh, the poor put upon Iraqis! Bush has made their life hell! They're peaceful existence shattered! *sob*" The Iraqis were nothing to them until their situation was something they could beat George Bush over the head with.
They care for no one but themselves unless it is politically expedient or self-satisfying to do so. When the dust settles in Cairo they'll be right back to frothing over how much money Bristol Palin is making or why church bells have to ring on Sundays or whatever trivia is boiling their brains at the moment, interspersed with the occasional Great American Proletariat Uprising And Wealth Redistribution Fantasy.
Jerk-offs.

Speaking of muslims, I saw the Kenyan and Totus speaking on TV yesterday, and again, NO PEANUT GALLERY! I swear, that's twice he and Totus have given a speech without a backdrop of nodding nitwits. It has to be a signal of a change in strategy.

Budapest, Hungary 1956....that was the first revolution I saw on TV....and they lost to the Russians. The Russians didn't care who the killed or who was watching. Then there was Castro and Cuba around 1958 or so. The Cubans lost and Castro boardcast some of the firing squad shooting. He too didn't care who he killed or who was watching.
You know what Egypt needs for a good revolution, some socialist.

Couldn't have said it better.
