- inactive, on 06/19/2009, -1/+105I hope the Iranians call his bluff.
- ProfessorSYM, on 06/19/2009, -10/+105Everyone who has been acting as if Ahmadinejad is the big evil dictator needs to realize that this is the guy who really pulls the strings there (be they Ahmadinjead's or Mousavi's).
- alex7575, on 06/19/2009, -9/+94Mr. Ayatollah,
I say this with the utmost respect: Go ***** yourself.
Alex7575 - thisisthetruth, on 06/19/2009, -0/+58daddy has given his scolding and ordered the children to get off his lawn.
this is where the *real* protesting begins...or not... - Obsidian743, on 06/19/2009, -23/+79I wish American's had the balls these Iranians have.
- PlanckTime, on 06/19/2009, -2/+44"In a thinly veiled warning to the reformist presidential challenger, Mir Hossein Mousavi, Khamenei said opposition leaders would be held responsible if they did not call for an end to the protests that have rocked Iran since last Friday's disputed election."
Thinly veiled? How exactly is that? Is it because he didn't state explicitly what he would do to the opposition leader's balls? There is no veil here, it was an explicit warning. People like to use phrases like this to make it seem more subtle than it is. He was straightforward and he has the power to back it up. - camaroz06, on 06/19/2009, -2/+42What else would you expect from a Supreme Leader? Whats the use in electing a president when you have one of those to deal with?
- KimmyGibbler, on 06/19/2009, -2/+39That's what they said in East Berlin just before the wall was ripped down
- Mistaxe, on 06/19/2009, -4/+40***** THE AYATOLLAH.
- mehan, on 06/19/2009, -6/+40you're so brave, mr. internet tough guy.
- Versh, on 06/19/2009, -1/+33I looked it up:
Insulting the Ayatollah is a crime in the Islamic Republic of Iran, worse yet, even mild criticisms have resulted in brutal beatings.
That said:
What an *****. - camaroz06, on 06/19/2009, -5/+34Can we add:
***** the Ayatollah!
to our one liners now? - wilf_brim, on 06/19/2009, -3/+31The Iranian people made a decision in 1979 to put these whackjobs in power. The only way they are going to leave is the way they were brought in, by revolution. I can't really blame Obama here: there isn't much the U.S. can do. Either the Iranians will stand up to the theocracy and get a more democratic government, or they back down and get the same thing they have had for the last 30 years. My bet is on the latter.
- yerdaddy, on 06/19/2009, -10/+38Getting pretty tired of every knucklehead repeating this. Yeah, that's the way it is. That's why people are staying home from work so they can go out in the street and get shot or beat up to protest the fraudulent election of a president that doesn't really matter.
Maybe you'd better rethink the propaganda. The president of Iran is important enough, and the Ayatollahs don't really have any power that the people don't give them either. - PlanckTime, on 06/19/2009, -0/+24"It's not a revolution yet. There needs to be a civil war first."
What are you talking about? How do you figure there has to be a civil war first? That makes absolutely no sense. It may not work out without the military (by may not I mean will not), but that doesn't change it from what it is. - inactive, on 06/19/2009, -3/+25Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
As long as this guy has unchecked power, nothing will change. It is up to the Iranians to decide. The time is now. - relaxeder, on 06/19/2009, -0/+21Yeah, that guy can eat a bowl of dicks
- inactive, on 06/19/2009, -1/+20He even looks like a raging *****.
- Jackson0909, on 06/19/2009, -3/+21***** the Ayatollah.
- Obsidian743, on 06/19/2009, -9/+27I think you missed the point. =/
- pathouston22, on 06/19/2009, -8/+25Really? I hadn't heard this before. Thanks for being the 500000th person to state it.
- inactive, on 06/19/2009, -0/+16It's more about power here than religion.
- Takfam, on 06/19/2009, -1/+15@Obsidian
I think he got the point better than the majority of diggers who complain they want a revolution, but do nothing to further reform except sit in a computer chair all day and type angry comments. - TigerStar337, on 06/19/2009, -1/+15Fatally, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made the "mistake" of allowing peaceful demonstrations to take hold. Leading the populace to believe that its opinion matters is extraordinarily dangerous for a regime that has no intention of listening.
- janoo1989, on 06/19/2009, -0/+12the majority of the population aren't old enough to witness what happened in 1979
- davebg8r, on 06/19/2009, -0/+11May your regime vanish from page of time.
- inactive, on 06/19/2009, -1/+11Yeah, no matter who is in the White House, this is an Iranian problem, there's not much the US can or should do.
- peligro18, on 06/19/2009, -8/+182 parties that tell you who do you choose...not really a democracy
- darkstar949, on 06/19/2009, -1/+11Given the state of United States - Iranian politics, by not saying much he is likely taking the best route that he could in support of then. If Obama where to go on national TV and say "The United States supports the calls for reform in Iran" then the Iranian media and government could spin that to say that the current protests are being guided solely by foreign interests which tend to have a detrimental affect on Iranians.
- peschelnet, on 06/19/2009, -1/+11Nice to see that they are spreading the blame around and letting the UK into the pool. It gets old being the only bad guy in the world (US).
- Lisztman, on 06/19/2009, -1/+10Ahahaha.
Khamenei blaming the UK for meddling?
Might as well call him Napoleon from now on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Uncle_Napoleon - yerdaddy, on 06/19/2009, -3/+12An oldie but goodie.
- dienaked, on 06/19/2009, -5/+14Well, that ends that most likely.
- inactive, on 06/19/2009, -2/+10You're an idiot if you ask me. It's not Obama's place to interfere in the domestic affairs of another country.
- T8erT0T, on 06/19/2009, -2/+10zing
- inactive, on 06/19/2009, -15/+23religion makes people blind, and afraid. hope they wake up.

- 22pages, on 06/19/2009, -0/+7puss out? like you've ever done anything braver than trolling.
- dupems, on 06/19/2009, -2/+9Oh really? Americans don't have balls? And when was the last time we had a coup in America? Never?
Oh that's right, you're making a unfounded comparison based on circumstances that have never come to pass in America. - devophl, on 06/19/2009, -0/+7One person put it more correctly. Ahmadinejad controls the army and regulates the economy but his powers don't extend beyond that. Khamenei and the ruling counsel make the laws and enforce them. Mousavi and the opposition leaders are clearly challenging the Muslim rulers of the country (Ahmadinejad is just a side player) and they will fight back.
This wasn't a suggestions, it was a clear threat... stop the protests or face the full force of Muslim law. But can the ruling counsel really stop this. Someone mentioned that 65% of Iran is under the age of 35 and most of these people have modern, more secular views of the world. Yet, the vast majority of the Iranians over the age of 35 are strict Muslims and they currently control the country. This is setting up to be a generational struggle. I'm really curious if Mousavi is going to heed the threats and back down or become a martyr for the secular cause. This is going to get interesting?? - iericg, on 06/19/2009, -0/+7A summary Khamenei speech today.
http://tinyurl.com/nht4ej - bigteebo, on 06/19/2009, -0/+7C'mon, if he stubs his toe on furniture, ( Israel || America || UK ) gets the blame.
- Memitim, on 06/19/2009, -1/+8We do have the balls that the Iranians have. Like the Iranians, we'll just keep making excuses and not doing anything until totalitarianism is officially in place, and then we might pitch a bitch. Let us enjoy this phase where we repeatedly say that it isn't that bad and reference all of the other places that let things get far worse before trying to do anything. We still have to finish telling anyone who tries to get a jump on possible tyranny by taking action now to get out of the country if they don't like it. Sheesh.
- mandarin, on 06/19/2009, -1/+8Down with tyrants!
- rabidjester, on 06/19/2009, -1/+8facepalm.jpg
- thecoolestguy, on 06/20/2009, -2/+9Americans who protest on the streets are mocked as teabaggers and right wing extremists.
- PeanutCheeseBar, on 06/19/2009, -2/+9Kill him.
- persianx, on 06/19/2009, -0/+6***** the Islamic Republic! Free Iran!
