By recent election standards, yeah, it was a pretty good margin. But looking at the actual numbers.. not so much. There are still a lot of people in this country who like what he stands for. (I'm not sure what that is exactly but there are a lot of people...)

I was and still am an Obama supporter but McCain's voice needs to be heard.

see, here we go again. Let's continue to play puppetmaster with middle east politics, and lets get all wrapped up and eye-balls deep into interfering with their government and then when some lunatics from Iran pull a terror attack on us, we'll all stand here saying "why do they hate our freedoms!?"

our empire is going to be the end of us.

don't we have enough trouble HERE to just let all the other countries run their own agendas?

why is it just ASSUMED that we need to interfere and have some control over every goddam country on the planet?

if their people want to revolt, good for them, and if not, whatever it's their business, not ours.

CynicalLA: Really? What do you think we should do?

Provide some extra funding to the radio broadcasts going into Iran for one. (That was the proposal I liked)

As far as attempting to help Iranians on the ground get the word out, I'm not at all sure - not tech savy nor of a security level to know just exactly what's available to us but anything to help them get the word out to the rest of the world and other Iranians.

I would like Obama to jump on board the G8 bill condemning the Iranian Regime and then I would like him to look at harsher sanctions.

Did everyone forget the Republicans were itching to go to war with Iran just a year ago? Now they're all about "helping" them.

Possibility of war is over nukes, not election. Still might happen. Nor is it incompatible with feeling sorry for the people - we opposed the Soviet Union while sympathizing with its people, for example.

Hypocrisy must be a Republican family value.

Idiocy is clearly a Democratic one.

perryjay: Question, how does this twitgrid work? I'[m getting the panels but they just stay blank.

Make sure you don't have javascript turned off for the domain. I had the same problem

CanisNoir: Or does everyone forget that after our major concession to the Iranians, Ahmadinijad basically said "Fark you" and embarrassed our delegation by intentionally going back on his word?

I don't think you understand what happened. Iran uses this country as a boogeyman and when we are hostile it re-enforces that perception. That was a genius move because it make AmadinnerJacket look like he might be the problem. Diplomacy can be very effective.

This.

When you're not in power and there's not a chance in hell that anything you suggest will ever actually happen, it opens the floodgates for all kinds of incredibly stupid ideas that no one in their right mind could possibly think makes sense. And then there's the hard-core republican base, to whom the regular laws of physics and reason just don't apply. They're the ones who will, for the next several weeks, constantly accuse Obama of being "weak" because he hasn't adopted this silly idea. Just you watch.

Dil Doe: When you're not in power

You do know McCain is a US Senator, right? Which, believe it or not, is a position that is partly responsible for an entire branch of government.

Another good example of someone whose mind has such a fixed derogatory image of Republicans that s/he can't be bothered to read the article and see that McCain didn't say anything about Wifi on drones.

Try looking outside of the liberal brainwashing, and look at actual facts for a change.

crab66: mylonitic: crab66: Yeah because Republicans care about freedom.

A long as you are a white, Christian and male.

Or an unborn child.

/ducks

The funny thing is that what Republicans want there is the opposite of freedom.

I agree that we should do everything we can to help the people. But, this tough with our history in that country. I know you don't think that excuse is valid anymore. I assure you that probably every Iranian knows about us propping up the Shah.

grotto_man: IXI Jim IXI

Assuming that could work, which is can't, it would probably be stupid to actually mention it.

Which makes this no surprise.

Except that HE NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT PUTTING WIFI ON PREDATOR DRONES. Like I said, some people don't bother to read the article and use subby's joke as a pretext to bash McCain or Republicans in general.

What McCain's voice might sound like:

"I don't want to go on the cart."

YAAAAAHHH!!!! GOP intelligence! I knew it had to exist somewhere. Now, if we can make it a, ahenh, rule and not the anomaly, exception, blue moon, white whale, maybe this country can get somewhere.

Before you hate, list a single recent GOP...anything, that can be be described as commemorative.

It's critically important that we become involved with the Iranian resistance movement. At all costs, we do not want to have them develop their own sense of ownership and leadership in the promotion of, assertion of, and establishment of their own rights. With a self-interested oligarchy in charge we can predict and manipulate their responses of self-interest and control it to our advantage. If they were able to successfully cultivate a true government of the people it would potentially have devastating reprocussions around the world, perhaps even leading to the overthrow of the current powers that rule the USA.

Almost five-hundred posts in a thread about McCain not understanding technology and no banner ad with the "Should I click here?" button? Oh Fark...for shame.

Buncha people got trolled hard here today.

I mean really, I'm a lifelong democrat and I bothered to read the article.

Not to mention, an act of war? Really?

Cue more OUTRAGE.

I bet if your messiah said it you would be jerking each other off.. Facilitating the voice of the people is not the same as manipulating it..

This is a great idea. Except that it stands no chance at all of even coming close to working. Oh, and the fact that suggesting it and getting it picked up by the retarded MSM has made the US seem to doing underhanded shiate it isn't actually doing (for a change).

Considering how retarded this is, I'm sure the far right is applauding the idea.

If people can demonstrate in Iran against majority vote winner then he might have a chance of getting people to demonstrate against Obama .

hero? for starting WWIII? thank god we didnt elect that senile, warmongering fark.

I'll tackle another huge problem with this idea. Assuming you could rig a bunch of predator droves with the WIFI gear, why the fark would we fly one of our best tools over Tehran sending out a shiat ton of radio waves from it's location?

If anything, you'd need a low tech balloon or something you don't care about losing.

BTW, it's a dumb idea. Sometimes the most practical and smartest thing you can do is absolutely nothing. They are hanging themselves, lets not take the rope away.

I think that, despite the WHARRGABRLian idea, McCain used to be a really good politician.

Somehow along the presidential race he got all nuts.

Words!, words less than 4 syllables.

Preemptive dumbing down I reckon.

montex: Did everyone forget the Republicans were itching to go to war with Iran just a year ago? Now they're all about "helping" them. Hypocrisy must be a Republican family value.

I hate stupid people, and I hate that they have somehow figured out how to click on the internet, type some words, and show everyone how stupid they are.

Republican or Democrat you shouldn't be happy with the regime in Iran, if you are, you should go cut your nuts off so you can't breed. ALSO If the people of Iran tried to change that government, but were not allowed to, and now feel it's time to change that government by force we should support them.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, - That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Sound familiar? Ya dumb fark

oldfarthenry: What has two thumbs and doesn't know sh*t about diplomacy and wireless internet broadcasting?

Because Obama's diplomacy of apologizing to everyone and giving people un-invites to 4th of July parties has been working so well.

tonguedepressor: Are you offering?

amusing... but you sounded a bit incoherent at first and I was concerned. You've corrected yourself (Words!, words less than 4 syllables) and I can relax again.

How does something like this get greenlit? With a Hero tag? I thought "Its not news", not "We have an agenda". Maybe with the "Interesting", "Strange", "Weird", "Asinine", or "Scary" tags, but HERO?

This must be the end of the line for Fark. The green stripe is one thing, but giving this a hero tag is unacceptable.

I never claimed Bush's diplomacy was bad; quite the contrary. Not sure what you're getting at here.

I never cared much for McCain but this makes me want to hug him. I've been really worried about some Iranian twitterers who seem to have disappeared maybe due to lack of internet access + after leaving weird statements (about all things being from and returning to Allah & another saying he was ready to die for this soil). More info about what's going on would also help keep the world's interest.
