Guess how some Iranian protesters decided to vent their anger against the deadly Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound ship? They cut up and stomped on Hillary Clinton pictures!

Yesterday in front of the U.N. building in Tehran, dozen of protesters threw rocks, burned Israeli flags, chanted “Death to Israel” — and destroyed Clinton pictures. In the photo above, an Iranian woman stomps on a Clinton portrait. In the photo below, the woman, wrapped in a Palestinian flag and bedecked with photos of Iranian leaders, cuts up a Clinton picture. In the last photo, the torn and forlorn image lies on the ground.

Clinton has said some harsh things about Iran — and rightfully so — and I’m sure she knows that this type of response just comes with the job. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has already made it clear that Clinton is an “enemy of Iran.”
