....lybob Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 This should not be unexpected, Hilary is trying to give a blanket of legitimacy to what amounts to the old regime minus Mubarak, high levels of poverty and very high levels of youth unemployment combined with systemic government corruption leads to a lot of unhappy campers who unlike Washington don't want business as usual.

/dev/null Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) If it was me in that limo, I would have turned the radio all the way up and blasted Walk Like An Egyption I would greet the spectators by doing the Walk Like an Egyptian arm movements and let out an occasional Way-O Waaay-O!

Chef Jim Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Shouting is ok, throwing tomatoes is pretty poor but changing Monica! Monica! is just really in bad taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayman Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Shouting is ok, throwing tomatoes is pretty poor but changing Monica! Monica! is just really in bad taste. That really was my thought. The shouting and even tomato throwing you can brush of as a typical Egyptian mob, nothing personal. The Monica chants? That puts it over the top...

B-Man Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Of course our wonderful media will stress the "tomatoes" and smirk at the "Monica" chants, but what they won't do is tell us the real reason for the protests. Picture of protesters Please note the signs say “Hamas will never rule Egypt” and “Egypt will never be Pakistan” There aren’t protesting Hillary per se.........but the agenda of her boss. The posters are very professionally done, possibly because Copts tend to go into business and engineering. Alexandria has a large Coptic population, and the slogans hardly look pro-Islamist. I think they are objecting to American policy and Obama Administration support of the Islamic extremists. But concentrate on Tomatoes/Monica.................

But then I realized that you just think supporting their electoral process is Obama supporting Islamic extremists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not "just supporting their electoral process" that is a simplistic view. We have also sent Egypt nearly 2 billion dollars in the past 15 months. and Leaders can influence other countries through policy, we have seen it throughout our History. but not since 2009 .

So are we/have we been too involved or not involved enough in you eyes? What are you suggesting? We should rig their election? We should have never been remotely involved for the past few decades? I'm not trying to attack you btw (since it takes a disclaimer these days on PPP) but just trying to understand if you have any thoughts on this other than just "Obama bad, use Egypt now as argument."

truth on hold Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) She's a hag, travelling around the world with her preachy hypocritical diatribe. I agree tomatoes were bad, don't want to do anything of a physical nature, should have just stuck to a good old fashioned mooning. Given how nasty the Clintons have become, I don't see any verbal taunts as off limits. Edited July 16, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Why isn't Hillary the Hawk forming a "coalition of the willing" to isolate the despotic regime in Bahrain, and stop their brutal crackdown of peaceful protesters who want democrcacy and to end human rights abuses? Oh yeah, oops Bahrain is a puppet state of our "dear friends" Saudi Arabia, the icon of despotism in the world, so controlling they even named the country for their family.

And why do some of them think America has a secret pro-Islamic fundamentalist agenda to impose on the world? Many of them from trash conservative blogs and news cites you empower with your crazyness. And sadly, also some from elected officials in our own country. Pressed by American reporters to explain where they got the idea that their new Islamist president, Mohamed Morsi, had been foisted on them through a U.S. plot, rather than the will of the majority, several Egyptians cited information gathered from American blogs or news sites. An Egyptian-American Christian who met Mrs. Clinton on Sunday cited recent claims by Representative Michele Bachmann, a Republican, “that the Obama Administration is pursuing a closeted pro-Muslim agenda,” in a conversation with Time magazine’s correspondent, Abigail Hauslohner. http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/16/egyptians-who-jeered-clinton-cite-american-conservatives-to-argue-u-s-secretly-supports-islamists/ Edited July 18, 2012 by TheNewBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
