1. Tim Donnelly:

   Think about that, but we will never hear that from Ayatollah Obama because that's what he really is, he is, in whatever way, I don't know what his connection to the Muslim Brotherhood is, but he's got them in all kinds of positions of power, other smarter people than me have have laid out the case and shown who these people are. I'm just seeing the result. You're seeing the results. You've been asking yourself, 'Why is it that he won't actually call Islamic jihadism, Islamic jihadism? Why is it that he's so passionate about taking away your guns, taking away your First Amendment, your right to speak the truth about this great evil?' But that's because it works. That's because it's part of a plan. That's because the left has always been more organized. They've had playbooks because they have people that get paid in the ivory towers to concoct these plans.

   They should have held a public trial, i am not angry with the government or the Supreme Leader (of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei). I am angry with extremist security forces who were on his case, trying to prove he was a spy and who maybe forced him to confess to things he hadn't done.

5. Isa Saharkhiz:

   Ayatollah Khamenei's silence is calculated. He is weighing up the situation, he is standing cautiously somewhere in the middle, so no one can interpret his words as approval or disapproval.
