Man Attacked In Ohio For Providing Iran Proxies
David Hume writes "electronicmaji is reporting on the Daily Kos that the individual known as ProtesterHelp (also to be found on twitter) was attacked in Ohio for providing network security for Twitterers in Iran, setting up private networks to provide secure proxies, calling for media networks to remove the Iranians Twitterers' information from their broadcast, and providing counter-intelligence services (including Basiji and Army Locations) within the Twitter community. ProtesterHelp was allegedly attacked by a group of men while walking to class in Ohio. The men, who appeared to ProtesterHelp to be either Iranian or Lebanese, drove up beside him and threw rocks at him while shouting, 'Mousavi Fraud.' ProtesterHelp further reported that his personal information has been leaked, and is currently being spread both online and inside of Iran amongst the government." Relatedly, Wired is also reporting that Google and Facebook have rushed out support for Persian. This move has allowed many pro-democracy groups to connect and translate their message to a broader audience.
Actually I was going to go with Obama saying it was Rush Limbaugh's fault and Rush Limbaugh saying it was Obama's fault all the while David Letterman was making a wisecrack about one of Palin's daughters as we learn that Jon and Kate are getting a divorce.

The department of homeland security should be all over that soon if they aren't too busy confiscating laptops at the airports......
Google and Facebook are supporting Persian before they release support for Klingon?!? WTF?!? Man, there is one set of geeks with really misplaced priorities!
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.

If this is your course of action, might I suggest changing your nick to "TinyElusiveTarget"?
Seriously, though, previous threads over the past couple days have had a lot of details on what to do and how to do it if you want to help. Alternatively, Fark.com has daily (or more frequent) threads on the Green Revolution, and there are always helpful posts in those threads.

Time for this guy to get a conceal carry permit, a handgun, and most importantly, the training to know when to use the above. Online we defend ourselves with munitions known as anonymity and encryption. In real life we use body armor and small arms.

It was clearly CIA agents trying to come up with a pretense for an invasion of Iran by equipping Iranian-looking people with WMDs (rocks HURT!) and having them attack a True Patriot (tm).
A few laps through the news cycle, and these guys will be reported as a band of agents financed by Osama bin Laden under orders from the Ayatollah to fire nuclear-tipped RPGs at a guy who was on his way to a fundraiser for orphaned babies of US troops killed in Iraq. A quick trip to the UN with a vial of uranium, and we're off to the races.
Really, this is such elementary stuff I'm amazed I have to explain it to you people.
If we were going to go the bush way, we'd have to respond by attacking Brazil.
Unless your adulterous sister is inside.
I bet all those people who blithely sat on their hands while Iran developed rock-throwing technology must be feeling pretty foolish.

Now, If you are reading this and you are one of these assholes that came here and insist on forcing your culture on us, I honestly, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, wish you would leave this country before we kill you and start a war with your homeland that you can never win.
I kept telling the Euro-Americans that but there were too many of them and they used biological warfare along with firearms.
Rocks are totally weapons of mass destruction. Just takes a little more dedication.
Iranian Nationalist here. Sorry about that rock throwing incident. Our bad.
Yep. Bill could really drive and Hillary has quite a throwing arm, from what I hear. You badmouth the Clintons and you believe a drive by rock throwing is headed your way.
