re: #15 palomino

I think even most Republicans are supportive of the pro-democracy protesters and Obama’s approach generally. Of course there are the extreme nuts like Beck and Palin and other irrelevant folks who aren’t even in office. But the usual nuts in the GOP realize that America doesn’t stand for much if it can’t come down clearly on the side of democracy.

It’s a dilemma for them.

Here’s a post from another blog I stole

Remember, these are Sunni Muslims, they are not Shia like the folks in Iran. Iranians aren’t even being allowed into Egypt right now, I can tell you from personal knowledge.

There have been beautiful stories out of Egypt which demonstrate a respectful and harmonious relationship between Christians and Muslims in this time of crisis. Doubt that would be happening if the Muslim Brotherhood were determined to take over the world, as Glenn Beck would have you believe.

We need to get past the paranoia and the stereotyping.

I’m cutting and pasting this comment from another blog.
