Hypocrite of the Week!

Iran's supreme leader has put his foot down.

He's said that his country's disputed presidential vote had NOT been rigged, and warned protesters of a skull crackdown if they continue their demonstrations demanding a new election.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei sided with hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and offered no concessions to the opposition. Chances for a new vote have been shut down by him calling the June 12 election an "absolute victory."
"If the difference was 100,000 or 500,000 or 1 million, well, one may say fraud could have happened. But how can one rig 11 million votes?"
That's easy! You rig the vote by not bothering to COUNT the votes. How else do you think the election was decided by a hand count in two hours? Not even Chicago does that!

The best part in Ali's rant was this little jem...
"It must be determined at the ballot box what the people want and what they don't want, not in the streets," he said. "I call on all to put an end to this method. ... If they don't, they will be held responsible for the chaos and the consequences."
What?

Look, the people of Iran are protesting because they voted and the election was blatantly rigged - not stealthfully. But the best part was that the theocracy that he leads came to power through a violent revolution that began with people taking to the streets!. Now he's rejecting that “method.” Awesome hypocrisy Ayatollah!

That's why Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, you're our Blasphemes Hypocrite of the Week!
