U.S. condemns "deplorable" violence in Egypt

The White House on Tuesday called for an end to the "deplorable" violence in Egypt and said elections there must go forward.

"We are deeply concerned about the violence. The violence is deplorable. We call on all sides to exercise restraint," White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters.

Egyptians frustrated by army rule battled police in Cairo streets again on Tuesday.

1. Officer Porky McPepperspray sez.. I spray in your general direction..

[Jackpine Radical]

2. Yeah, that's perfect language for conveying our support

for democracy in Egypt--which our government supports to about the same degree as they support democracy at home.

That is to say, calling for restraint from "all sides" (translation: the protestors) while beefing up the Gestaatspolizei.

3. Hollow words from a country whose police forces routinely brutalize protesters. nt

7. Mr. President

The silence is deafening.

9. Oh sure, then Obama would fall right into their trap!

If Obama were to say something about unprovoked police violence on peaceful protestors, Rush Limbaugh would say all sorts of bad things about him on the reddy-o. And Mitch McConnell would come out in front of the cameras and look his most turtlish sorrowful that the president had come out against unprovoked violence. Then John Boehner would cry uncontrollably. Then Eric Cantor would say something dickish.

Is that what you want?

10. Yeah, we can't have that!
