Thousands march in Cairo in support of Morsi

Excerpt:

Supporters of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi march in Cairo, Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012. The Muslim Brotherhood, from which President Morsi hails, hopes for a large turnout at the Saturday rallies to counter opposition protests.  (AP Photo/Thomas Hartwell) (CBS News) Thousands of people waving Egyptian flags and hoisting large pictures of the nation's Islamist president are demonstrating across Egypt in support of him. The Muslim Brotherhood, from which President Mohammed Morsi hails, hopes the turnout at today's rallies will counteract earlier opposition protests. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets twice this week opposing Morsi's decrees last week to grant himself sweeping powers. Morsi says he acted to prevent courts led by former regime holdovers from dissolving the assembly and delaying a transition to democracy. "The people support the president's decision!" chanted crowds outside Cairo University, where several thousand had gathered.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
