Ahmed El Hawary is opposition activist who helped organized the massive protest, calling for Morsi to step down. He joins me now from Cairo.
Well, there is nothing simple about it, Anderson. There is nothing simple about it at all. For the past -- for the past month, we have been calling as the opposition for Mohamed Morsy to step down and to do it democratically by resigning his office because of his failure and his mismanagement of the country, and to call for early elections, which is purely democratic in any system when you fail people call you to resign --
Let me stop you right there, because actually, democracy is when you vote somebody out of -- out of office. This is a guy, and I'm not a defender of his in any way, I'm not a supporter of his in any way, but isn't democracy done at the ballot box not by putting bodies on the streets and getting the military involved?
COOPER: I hear you.
EL HAWARY: And then you try to call that as a coup. I must say -- I must say there is a clear message that has to be delivered to the American media and to the United States administration. You're doing half of that PR with the Egyptian people. You're aligning yourself --
COOPER: Sir, sir, my job is not -- sir, I'm not a PR agent, sir. My job is not to do PR for you or anybody else. I'm not taking any sides here. We're talking about the use of the word coup.
COOPER: We gave you plenty of time to voice your opinion.

Cooper is a cog in the machine.
He says what the money tells him to say.
It is amazing how often the average person from anywhere can make a talking head look stupid when they are working in a non scripted interview.
