    Most of them were wrong.... not totally surprising to the rational.

    It's red meat and nothing more and it's not helpful.
    So shut the **** up already Haley and trump...the Iranians do not give a **** about what either you have to say.

    Trump's travel ban also hurt many Iranians, btw.

    Didn't Obama also support Hezbollah and their smuggling of drugs into America while training, funding and shipping weapons to ISIS/ISIL?

    It seems that the Guardian was reporting the news rather than being biased and not reporting it like CNN, MSNBC refusing to report the information for nearly 48 hours or longer. Reuters and the AP reported the uprising in Iran on Dec 29, 2017. When did CNN, MSNBC, and WaPo begin reporting the rioting?

    No. Of course not. That is all a great example of right wing extremist fake news. It's BS.

    You're mistaking MSNBC for a news source. They would be the first to tell you they're about commentary and for news, go to NBCnews.

    Media Sides With Iran! “Has The Left Ever Been More Morally Bankrupt?”

    The right wingers just stole $1.5 trillion from future generations and gave it to corporations that already have 95% of the wealth in this country. They stole another $3 trillion in 2001, giving it to millionaires. And they are attempting to steal Social Security, healthcare, aid to the poor, and aid to children. Yet they have the gall to point their finger at the morality of liberals. Bankrupt is what the cons are leaving future generations.

    Funny you left out that $9 Trillion that Obama stole, or the $6 billion from the State Dept. that no one knows where it ended up. The there the matter of $1 trillion of something name the "Stimulus" that paid off Obama's rich folk that funded the Dems. But who is counting especially when the pot is now calling the kettle black? At least Trump's spending is making the Economy grow and strengthening our military. None of which were ever the prime thoughts of the Obama administration for eight long years. Protecting your failed boss and his legacy seems to be the object and it's failing badly.

    Well that's why it was a poor choice of article for you to post about. Or did you just like the headline and run from there? :)

    I quick search of their websites brought up a CNN article from the 30th and Washington Post one from the 29th. I doubt it made big headlines anywhere in the West to start with, partly because of New Year and partly because most of their audience wouldn't care about protests in Iran. It only became big news when it escalated.

    Certainly the news that was reported in WaPo was located on the back pages. While the CNN announcement on Dec 30th, was a 10 second bleep....

    You, it would seem, think he's a Muslim sympathizer. There's nothing in his total behavior (yes, including the stuff your ilk ignores) that sustains the usual echo chamber blather. I think a better case can be made he misread the Middle East and thought he could finesse the situation in ways that proved impossible.

    Why would any President in his right mind want to invade a country of 80m people? Your claim Obama was "kowtowing to the Ayatollahs and bending over to allow them to virtually sodomize him politically" is laughably absurd.

    A ground war with Iran would mean we would mean a military draft. Women would have to go this time, too. The place would come unglued with Trump as President.

    Yet according to the fanatic supporters of Obama each and every foreign policy move made by him was made after deep intelligent reflection and thought. How could he be wrong? Hmm..., FUBAR!! So wrong that he cost the lives of Egyptians, Iranians, Tunisians, Libyans along with hundreds of thousands of Syrians including an Americans Ambassador and American citizens.

    Of course, it's not the truth. It's no more the true than the belief some liberals have that all rightwingers are racists.

    I watched as the MSM discussed the protest in Iran and they covered the situation ad nausea and are in full support of the protestors.
    To say that our MSM supports the Iranian government is disingenuous.
    The MSM stations that I watched were opposed to Trump tweeting too much and believe that Iran should deal with their problems without U.S. interference, lest the Iranians use our interference to blame the US for deflection purposes. This is a totally different kind of protest than ever before. The Iranians don't quite understand this protest and hopefully will resolve it favorably for its citizens.

    Yes. There was a lot of criticism over his failure to go after the banker crooks.

    Not everyone agrees with the rightwing claim the Iran deal was a mistake.

    The Arab Spring sure sucked, didn't it?

    But now that the same warmongers want to do the exact same thing with Iran, suddenly there's no problem...because it's the RW in power?

    I really need an explanation here. Your position makes no logical sense.

    The second part of your post is a false belief. That type of hyperbole is what lefties engage in. But the fact you are protesting the other is enough to support it as truth.

    Obama stole $9t? Unhinghed blather.
    Two-thirds of the $800b went toward personal rax cuts, party because Republicans insisted.
    Most economists think Trump's personal tax cuts for rich people are a mistake. Many do think we needed to cut business taxes, however.

    I think his too biggest mistakes were letting ISIL take hold in Iraq and his initial support for the MB in Eqypt.
    Way too much blame assigned to Obama.
