Clashes erupt in Iran over disputed election
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – Supporters of the main election challenger to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad clashed with police and set up barricades of burning tires Saturday as authorities claimed the hard-line president was re-elected in a landslide. The rival candidate said the vote was tainted by widespread fraud and his followers responded with the most serious unrest in the capital in a decade.
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, closed the door on any chance he could use his limitless powers to intervene in the disputes from Friday’s election. In a message on state TV, he urged the nation to unite behind Ahmadinejad, calling the result a “divine assessment.”
Several hundred demonstrators – many wearing the trademark green colors of pro-reform candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi’s campaign – chanted “the government lied to the people” and gathered near the Interior Ministry as the final count from Friday’s presidential election was announced.
It gave 62.6 percent of the vote to Ahmadinejad and 33.75 to Mousavi – a former prime minister who has become the hero of a youth-driven movement seeking greater liberties and a gentler face for Iran abroad.

Do you want a glimpse into the future of the USA in 2010 and 2012 when Conservatives and REAL Republicans attempt to unseat the Dems, RINOs and the regime of Barack Hussein Obama? Just look at the photos and read this story.
Nationwide, the text messaging system remained down Saturday and several pro-Mousavi Web sites were blocked or difficult to access. Text messaging is frequently used by many Iranians – especially young Mousavi supporters – to spread election news.
This my friends, is the future of America as well.
I’m thinking that ( What’s happening in Iran.) will be a lightweight act compared to what the potential here is for resisting onerous government, as well as a flawed election process.
Another ACORN election, and ever more government involvement in the day to day lives of Americans could very well blow the top right off our nation.
I find Obama revolting now – I can only imagine what his administration will be like in three years…
As I stated last February…
“…So let me be the first to predict World War III… Ready for this? How about 2010*…or there abouts! (if not WW III…Civil War Part II…the Liberal Socialist Democrats are pushing their limits and the bubble is about to burst!)…”
A Glimpse At History And A Prediction
This would not be happening if they actually had free elections and not the ones the Mullahs control.
God help us, as we are surely in need of it now!
If the stinky stuff ever hit the fan here in America, it’s Conservatives who will be prepared. Over six billion rounds of ammo has been purchased by American Citizens since December 1, 2008 and I would bet 99% of them are Conservatives
Conservatively speaking of course…
