Of the demonstrations yesterday. Money quote:
Ahmadinejad called the opposition
as a bunch of insignificant dirt who try to make the taste of victory
bitter to the nation. He also called the western leaders as a bunch of
'filthy homosexuals'. All these disgusting remarks was today answered
by that largest demonstration ever. Older people compared the
demonstration of today with the Ashura Demonstration of 1979 which
marks the downfall of the Shah regime and even said that it outnumbered
that event. The militia burnt a house themselves to find the excuse to
commit violence. People neutralized their tactic to a large degree by
their solidarity, their wisdom and their denial to enage in any violent
act.
