    Egypt protesters attack Mursi's party offices

    Reuters – 6 hrs ago

    CAIRO (Reuters) - Protesters stormed the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood's party in Alexandria on Friday, throwing chairs and books into the street and setting them alight, after the Egyptian president granted himself sweeping new powers.

    Supporters of President Mohamed Mursi and opponents also threw stones at each other near a mosque in the city, Egypt's second largest, a witness said.

    Two cars had glass smashed as the clashes moved away from the area.

    In Port Said, another port on the Mediterranean, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice party headquarters and pelted it with rocks. Some tried to storm it but did not enter, another witness said.

    In Cairo, thousands demonstrated against the decree issued on Wednesday night.

      I guess I would be #$%$-off also. A little revolution to remove one dictator, only for him to be replaced by another. Sounds like the revolution isn't quite over.

      All that happened in Egypt was it went into a Islamic fanatical leadership. It really was ten steps backwards. It wont end well

        Wow! What a bunch of morons! Mind reader all, who foretell the future and everything that is in someone else's mind! You should all take The Amazing Randi's Challenge, and collect the $1 million by demonstrating psychic powers! I just love conspiracy theories! IThey just put an underline on George Carlin's bit "think about how stupid the American people are, and then relalize that half of them are even stupider than that!" Keep it up! Laughing is good for you.

      Perhaps you might tell us what "the sweeping new powers" included which touched off the riots. Come on, write a complete news story.

        Scott - Telling Freudian slip when you said "Hand in there Billie..." The abuse never stops for you and Billie, eh? And Obama isn't coming to rescue you. He's busy having caviar with Putin, while deciding how many manufacturing jobs the Russians will take from the US.

        @Michael if you kept up with worldly news, you would know that a majority of the people in Egypt didn’t even vote. There was also speculation that the vote was rigged in favor of this dictator. Where are Obama’s demands for this dictator to step down? The people are rejecting him; he needs to go.

        I saw the director of that film interviewed on Real Time with Bill Maher,
        and even Maher had no problem discrediting him. The man was civil in discussing his film. But I read both of the President's first 2 bestselling autobiographies, and it was quite clear as I said earlier that he was born and raise as a Christian. His grandfather who was Muslim wanted his son Barack Obama, Sr. to be as well, but his wife (Barack Jr.s grandmother) chose to raise their son as a Christian at age 4.

        Still.... why 2016 in the movie's title ? Obama isn't allowed to run for a third term.

      Further proof that given the opportunity for freedom and democracy, Muslims will always turn away and go for the radical choice of a dictator and terrorist. The Middle East is lost, why are we still sending them Billions every year?

      Nate Silver jokes have truly reached saturation. At the annual turkey pardoning ceremony Wednesday afternoon, President Obama made a crack about the FiveThirtyEight blogger. Between discussing Hurricane Sandy and how the (useless) vote for this year's National Thanksgiving Turkey became an extended campaign metaphor, the president said: "Once again, Nate Silver perfectly nailed it." Reaction from Twitter suggests that we have hit a kind of Silver tipping point:
