Persian BBC -

[smaj4723]

All for the Basij!!

mesle heyvan shar bepa mikonid, bayad ba shoma ham mesle heyvan raftar kard!

[Noorak23]

Hunt basij around the world. They should pay for what they are doing to us!

[paullevesque]

Just go home and play games what are these people doing in the streets

[angustus5]

didnt see this coming ........pffft

[turjo101]

George W. Bush's 400 million dollar in use to destabilize Iran... this began with Moussavi its going to end with another Shah coming to power...it was a mistake for Moussavi to start this mess not this has gone beyond him.

[NIRL91]

Iran is such a strange place, people are free in some ways, but government imposes restrictions on others, its 20 years from the Tiananmmen Square protest quite ironic

[Mw551]

thats weird cos BBC stands for Britsh broadcasting centre

[eyzeturkha]

all terorist he is muslim!

[turjo101]

The US marines terrorizing civilians in Iraq are also Muslim...Allahuakbar!!!

[sohkha]

everything happens in Tehran now a days were lead by CIA>>>>

[allenkey556]

Protests often lead to bloodshed. Before going ahead with any protests, they should be prepared for all these.

[spartan3065]

where the shit have you been? theres already been plenty of bloodshed including the murder of an innocent 18 year old girl who was stood next to her father

[allenkey556]

Spartan3065, pls don't get me wrong, I symphatise with the Iranians. They are having protestes to 'tell' the world what was happening during the last election. Its suspected that the Basij, are shooting at the civilians killing some in the process. So, don't you think it right to say the Irans are prepared for such thing to happen?

[elix007007]

persian BBC ? where in Tehran ? behind

Ahmadjinehjeb ? Who's the guy on the balcony with a  military weapon ? is he shooting or just for the cam ? how truthfull is the document ?

[DoongoanF]

whats wrong ?

[daniels5800]

stop

[shimmerhead]

BBC is a joke they've been caught putting a picture of a pro ahmedinijad protest pic up on their website, cutting out Ahmedinijad and saying it was Mousavi protest. BBC is full of shit. Also the people who were shooting the protestors weren't really police, the police of Iran has said that they fired rubber bullets and that their was a group of people who had real fire arms and just started to shoot randomly. The police in Iran has caught one of these guys but you won't see the bbc report this.

[Blongers1]

Oh 'they said' i didn't realise 'they said' well that must be true then.

[spartan3065]

you mean the Basijie's?

[gali69]

No point demonstrating against Ahmadinajad because the next American president will still bomb Iran or get Israel to do it.

[uarhara]

ايران على زبي

[JohnyRico2006]

Lets arrest all provocateurs and put them in to the orange jail with wall painted in red-white stripes.

[nicolas06nissart]

Et ben la paix ne se rssoudra pas de cette façon...

[jhisk]

i don't know. but the people taking the video seems indifferent.

[diter26]

man you guys are total sheep, how many stories have you read about police shooting innocent people in usa cities it happens daily, but if its not on cnn you dont see it. And how come americans didnt protest when bush stole the election in 2000? all they did was laugh about it as jay leno made jokes. about hanging chads

[Skep155]

Because every election in Iran has been stolen since the day of the Islamic Revolution. There can be no legitimate elections when there is an unelected Supreme Leader who rules for life and the title President means virtually nothing.  Everyone hated Bush but they knew they could get rid of him in 2008. What happens if Irans Supreme Leader decides ahmadinejad can run for three terms?

[oenaro]

Guess the youth and under 30 of Iran are seeing first hand how Iranian democracy works..... As Joseph Stalin once said It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.

[TsytaNZ]

and the people who kill the people counting the votes take power.

[Inform4u]

muslim people complain about the british and americans but you don't see uk and us police butchering their own people in broad daylight. now who has the more civilized culture? iranians killing iranians in cold blood.

[patmanretro]

there are videos on youtube of just that.

[Inform4u]

and this is a country that wants atomic bombs.....wtf? shooting their own fucking people? why aren't the protesters armed with their own weapons? like lambs to the slaughter. get weapons....get armed....

[patmanretro]

and then even more killing. Yay.

[Stantzs]

The clerics are monsters and thats all they are.

[andylev2007]

Watch this Obama: the people don't want government controlled lives

[saffireblues]

andylev2007 - The U.S. is not ruled by a fanatical Islamic set of laws. If you would have stayed in school you might have learned that! You're a idiot. Get out of the gene pool!

[andylev2007]

WE are still in the first six months of the fanatic Obama and his fanatic followers

[lightsinorbit]

what in the world are you talking about?

[SuicidalBuu]

shut up you fucking idiot

[thisnow1]

Those basij motherfuckers

[sideburnsbob]

Trust YouTubers to get into fruitless arguments over such harrowing videos.

[skypilott2]

So what if society values abortion, as it does today in the US, even going so far as to make it legal (see Roe v Wade). Does that make me a liberal in defense of the unborn? I don't think the definition is quite that simple, my friend, though I applaud you for trying.

[ArisKatsaris]

No, you're not demanding the unborn's liberty, you're demanding its safety. Authoritarians always demand the safety of something or other, and do so by crushing someone else's liberty.

[TeachESL]

Liberal and Conservative are relative. To be 'conservative' is to want to maintain the values of your society and not change them.

[skypilott2]

ok, okay. So according to your way of thinking, it all revolves around a woman's reproductive rights...if you are pro-life, you are merely a 'self-styled' conservative, a reactionary even. But...if you're FOR a woman killing the unborn baby in her body, you are the finest sort of human being. Sure you are...

[ArisKatsaris]

I'm not telling you which is the "finest sort of human being", I'm telling you who's the reactionary, and who's the progressive.

And it's not just about reproductive rights -- self-styled conservatives in America also want less liberty in immigration, less rights for suspects, more power to have the government kill or torture suspect -- they are anti-freedom reactionaries all-around, not just in reproductive issues.

[skypilott2]

you're about as 'full of it' as a guy with brown eyes can be...

[SolSpots]

I don't know what conservatives you are talking about.

I'm a conservative in the sense that I don't believe in womens rights, gay rights, black rights. There's just rights that we are born with. You don't get rights because you are a mexican or a woman. You get them because you are born. Try adhering to the constitution, this is a problem that fake conservatives and liberals both have.

[ArisKatsaris]

You call yourself "conservative" merely because your political grouping calls itself such, without any actual understanding of what the word "conservative" (or for that matter "progressive" or "reactionary") actually means.

You and skypilot both have that problem, hence the American-parochial inanity of contrasting conservatives to liberals, rather than properly contrastring conservatives to PROGRESSIVES (or reactionaries) and properly contrasting liberals to authoritarians instead.

[jbgild]

You must've been born a thousand years ago man. No rights for women, blacks, gays?...OMFG

[SolSpots]

I didnt say that they didnt have rights period moron, I said they don't have rights just because they're gay, female or black. They have inalienable rights from the time they're born. Doesn't matter who or what they are.

[ArisKatsaris]

"does that mean if you consider yourself a conservative, you are, by your analogy, against liberty?"

If you are a conservative in a tyrannical regime, you are certainly against liberty.

If you are a conservative in a liberal regime, you are probably in favour of liberty.

Most self-style conservatives in America are usually reactionaries though, not really conservatives -- e.g. they want women to have LESS liberty in reproductive issues than they currently enjoy in the US.

[MMouthPeach]

Arisdat, not true!

"e.g. they want women to have LESS liberty in reproductive issues than they currently enjoy in the US. "

The idea that a woman should kill a viable baby rather than take responsibility is more honest.

Conservatives start with this and carry the logic elsewhere.

Liberals distort the truth of their opponents position.

[skypilott2]

AK, they are 'conservative' only in the very broadest sense of the word. Now I guess the Soviets are conversatives as well. Imagine that! So please educate me, oh wise one: does that mean if you consider yourself a conservative, you are, by your analogy, against liberty? Conversely, if you deem yourself a liberal, you are for liberty? Now I get it.

[ArisKatsaris]

Skypilots, islamofascists are conservatives -- they want to conserve the current system. The revolutionaries are liberals -- they want liberty. Get your terms in order.

And SolSpots, this isn't about Americans, you idiot, this is about Iranians, you moron.

[MMouthPeach]

I want to conserve my sanity so I reject the opportunity to hang out with ArisDat. Therefore I am a conservative.

On the other hand, I am liberal with logig. therfore ArisDat will be offended and will start throwing insults, "this isn't about Americans, you idiot"

See how liberals are!

[MMouthPeach]

Not so much with spelling!

[SolSpots]

Now America will have the support of the public (both neocons and liberals) to go to war with Iran.

You idiots are so fucking gullible, this is a repeat of 1953, you think Iranians would have learned from history, but even they were sucked in.

[MMouthPeach]

SolSots? Your definition of a neo-con is code. No such honest interpretation.

"You idiots are so fucking gullible" Get off the thread since you have no correct understanding of political ideology.

Really, your insulting way describes an Obama voter, nothing more.

[SolSpots]

Shows what you know buddy, you think because I insulted neocons that I am an obama voter? Far from an obama supporter. You're quite the sideshow, typical sucker to the left right paradigm.

If you had eyes you wouldve seen where I addressed the liberals too (really you two are the same anymore.) And no, I wont stay off the trad numb nuts, typical of you to want gone any view that is not similar to yours.

[skypilott2]

Wrong, you idiot. They're fighting islamofacism. You're right, though. The mullahs are really just conservatives. Boy, to be liberal and clueless...

[skypilott2]

Hey, libtards...as the people living now in Iran are finding out:

FREEDOM AIN'T FREE!!

[jekylfoot]

Yes, they're fighting conservatives..

[dewkdogg]

FYI BBC is a government entity so take what comes out of their broadcast as half truth.

[sentforth5]

The left sure has some piss poor comments...what a hateful group of people. They decry that the right wingers are hateful, but the only hate I've read thus far is from liberals.

You will know them by their fruits

[astoria25]

You'll know the closeted, repressed right wingers from their anal-retentive dingle-berries. Low hanging fruit are so easy to pick.

[monkfilms]

These Iranians are so brave; if they pull off this revolution, they deserve an immediate seat on the UN Security Council. They know how to get 'er done.

[BigDaddy1968]

This is what will happen at the next Tea Parites if MSNBC has their way.

haha

Big Daddy

[hypatiaLady]

people don't usually get shot in western cities when they riot. Nor do they get heavily beaten up.

[jaike2]

tell that to the protesters at the GOP convention

[hypatiaLady]

they don't USUALLY get shot.. They RARELY get shot.

It's always the people who've never been to iran that are its most ardent defenders.

[astoria25]

That's precisely my point. How many times did the NYPD try to shut us down ?

[phlashba]

We are the most vicious species of animals. Shame on the human race.

[gofukursef]

I'm in solidarity with the people.... POWER TO THE PEOPLE

[prodogs]

You underestimate us. God has given us freedom, god can only take away our freedom. Live Free or Die my brother

[astoria25]

Videos136, I have to agree with you. When New Yorkers protested the start of Bush's illegal war against Iraq, the mayor and NYPD shut down some of the critical MTA subway stations (nearest the protest areas) to suppress the turn-out, they put up barricades to keep people from getting to the protest, and they used horses to intimidate protesters on 2nd and 3rd Avenues. Crooked politicians always resort to illegal force to suppress the voice of its citizens. Don't give up !!!!

[ysbee]

STOP MASSACRE NOW!!!

[Stantzs]

choke on a dick you fucking monster.

[astoria25]

There's no need to use homophobic comments to denounce the Iranian police tactics. Just say what it is: the police are using violence, intimidation, and illegal force to suppress the voice of the people.

[ooooneeee]

fucking fascist Iranian government

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Gandhi

[MiPerson]

I got nothing to do with you iranians but I have tear in my eye. Good luck to you :(

[Handyman2232]

So sad. A horrible day, all orchestrated by the biggest liar that ever walked the face of the earth

[astoria25]

The noble people of Iran are standing up to a corrupted government that is trying to force its power onto its citizens. This is a brave and courageous cameraman/reporter for the BBC who took this footage.

[EuroS50]

Obama?

[MrMichi1984]

My heart is bleeding for the Iranian people struggling for democracy and human rights!

They are so courageous...

1979: Khomeini Rahbar

2009: Human Rights Rahbar!

[videos136]

Moussavi the egomaniac would see all of Tehran burn if he doesnt' get what he wants. And naive impressionable youth are his main weapon.

[doctortay]

jaukesh. you are a child molester.

[notliketoast]

Spare us your ignorance. Khamenei is the one retaliating with violence. It doesn't have to be this way.

[chef40126]

Who is the ego maniac here? election results announced less than 3 hours afer polls closed, protesters violently attacked...

[Breakyerself]

I expect you're a gov't agent

[ladsaz]

Who are you? Do you have a heart? Are you one of them enjoying the benefits of Iran's Oil and Money in United states? They are killing our kids to stay in power and enjoy the annual salary of $160 billion!!!

[gchernetz]

I love the ultra right wing in Iran telling the world the these kids are fighting for no reason. Power to the people and destroy the right wing power. Eventually the young will destroy the old narrow minded fools who run Iran now!!!

[BigDaddy1968]

"ultra right wing" ?? U kidding. The Iranian Leadership LOVES Obama and HATES Bush

These facists are on YOUR side, Mr.Liberal!

haha

Big Daddy

Making it plain...

[toosinbeymen]

Hey bigdaddy68, go back to listening to rush, orielly, savage, beck, etc.

They stopped teaching critical thinking a LONG time ago in the US.

[astoria25]

The right wing loves military crack-downs. It's how they keep their war-profiteering businesses going. If there wasn't unease, unrest, and uncertainty, then there wouldn't be fear. And you need fear to stroke the flames of conflict. And without conflict, there'd be no big Republican business to be had from the arms manufacturing industry. Just calling it like its....

[jaike2]

they like him moreso because hes not a complete idiot, but dont get it twisted, even Mousavi doesnt like america that much

[baantawai]

Ali Khamenei with blood on his hands!!!
