US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was taunted by chants of “Monica, Monica” by tomato-throwing demonstrators as she visited the Egyptian port city of Alexandria on Sunday.
The chants, referring to the Monica Lewinsky scandal when her husband, Bill Clinton, was president, were heard outside the US consulate as she visited for its reopening.
An embarrassed Egyptian security official said they were chanting “Monica, Monica” and “Irhal, Clinton” (Get out, Clinton.)
Tomatoes, shoes and a water bottle were thrown at part of Clinton’s motorcade as it pulled up, protected by riot police, although a US official said Clinton’s own vehicle was not hit.
The protest appears to have been the result of suspicions that Washington had helped the Muslim Brotherhood win elections in Egypt in the wake of last year’s ouster of president Hosni Mubarak after 18 days of massive street protests.
“I want to be clear that the United States is not in the business, in Egypt, of choosing winners and losers, even if we could, which, of course, we cannot,” Clinton said at the opening of the consulate.
Hillary is great friends with Humina Weiner, daughter of the top women in the Muslim Sisterhood.
The new president of Egypt is calling for the release of the blind sheik Omar Abdul-Rahman who is in USA prison.
It was Omar Abdul-Rahman who put a death fatwa on the only Arabic-speaking writer and Nobel Prize winner Naguib Mahfouz.
Mr. Mahfouz is not ”Islamic” enough.
Neither are 1/3rd of the people of Egypt.
They are the ones who should and do fear for their lives, freedom of conscience, and safety under MB rule.
MB rabble are already raping women and girls, taking them for wives, forcing them to ”say the words” that turn them into Muslims.
MB rabble are already looting then burning Christian churches and businesses.
The new president and other MB rabble are also calling for the destruction of all pre-Islamic artifacts in Egypt including the Pyramids, the Sphinx, the temple ruins in Giza and all of the rest.
But did we, by pushing for early elections before the unorganized secularists and others could field a slate and campaign, help the MB take Egypt?
YES, we did!
Re the last sentence in the post — The whole Clintoon / Obama / Humma Weiner foreign policy in a nutshell: “Not us — we are so innocent” – lying beeotch —
May 13, 1958:
Nixon attacked by angry Venezuelans
Some one with authority over security forces allowed or caused this to happen in Egypt in order to send a message.
@Nan G:
And how else would a sister political movement of the German Nazis be expected to behave?
I maintain a general principled opposition to the death penalty except in situations where the execution may save lives of innocents in the future. It seems to me that imprisoning jihadist is a bad idea for the very reason that Islamic authorities will bargain and blackmail us for their eventual release and every jihadist will expect upon capture that a life sentence will in reality mean to short stay in prison before eventual release.
Expect the MB to up the ante by kidnapping Americans and/or by holding American children hostage until Omar Abdul-Rahman is released from prison in exchange.
@Mike O’Malley:
MikeO, haven’t a couple of Americans already been kidnapped?
A pair taken off a tour bus a few weeks ago were ransomed to freedom,
now this black man who is a Christian minister.
Pastor Michel Louis, 61, and church goer Lisa Alphonse, 39, both from Boston, Massachusetts, were taken hostage along with their guide on Friday.
Of course the MB always claims it is someone else doing the abducting.
This parallels how the PA in Gaza could NEVER police their own people into being law-abiding.
Just too weak.
Clever ruse.
We used to fall for it over and over.
Then we’d send more money.
Since the days of the Barbary Pirates kidnapping our Merchant Marines, Muslims ransoming back our people has mostly worked.
So why quit now?
@Nan G:
That the jihadists have taken an American Christian pastor and an American women of child bearing years hostage is no accident. Now team Obama gets to deal with the bitter fruit of their labors, the Nazi sister party, the Muslim Brotherhood as a sovereign power under international law. Sooner or later Team Obama will cave under the pressure in my expectation. 🙁
They are obviously ill informed, else the chant would have been “Huma!, Huma!, Huma!”
Of course the obama administration helped the brotherhood gain control. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
@Mike O’Malley:
You know, MikeO, Obama is in a tight spot.
Who will he side with?
The black Christian pastor or the Muslims who want to ransom him for cash or kill hm?
When ”Red” Ken Livingstone was running for mayor of London he held together an odd couple coalition that included gays and Muslims.
Later, when the Left were protesting the Iraq war in London parades, Muslims beat up and threatened to kill gays who marched for peace.
The next year Red Ken was faced with a new peace parade and a letter demanding Muslims retract their death threats against peace-nic gays or be banned from the parade.
Red Ken took a side.
He sided with the Muslims.
After all, they will KILL you.
I think Obama is just like Red Ken in this regard.
He would throw gays, women, all non-Muslims under the bus, if it came down to a choice.
And, if the 2 Americans aren’t freed real soon, this kidnapping may force him to say who he chooses.
Edited to add:
There are conflicting accounts as to whether the pastor has been released or not.
If, by ”released,” it means his captor still has him and will not let anyone see him, then, yes, he has been ”released.”
