May 25, 2007: Ahmadinejad Rocks?

According to YNet, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused Jews today of being "beastly" people. That's pretty over the top - even for Crazy Ahmad. Seems like a mistranslation on YNet's part. The fanatic Iranian pres obviously meant "Beastie" people. Now that would make sense.

Why is this over the top for a crazy, anti-semite that wants the destruction of the entire nation of Israel? Surely he must think of them as beastly, aka less than human, by the way he speaks about them.

He's disgusting, but at least he's honest... better to know a madman by his own words, rather than have him hiding his feelings behind political correctness.

Crazy Ahmad obviously stutters, among his other charming attributes.

dclydew, I assume you realize I was being sarcastic. I may even hate Ahmad more than you do - since I am one of those "beastly" people he seeks to exterminate.

Roger,

Sorry it came across to me as though you were actually surprised... I was afraid you'd been replaced by a pod person.

I don't know if you hate him 'more' than me or not... but I bet your hatred is much more personal.

And though we may disagree, I have never, for a second thought you to be beastly. Maybe crazy though ;-)

Maybe he was thinking of that topless beach outside Tel Aviv, and he meant "breastly" ?

Oh Roger, you didn't even get to the good part, he plans on conquering the world.

Kidding aside, he used the word "uproot" yesterday,referencing what he'd do to Israel if he feels like it. That's a nasty word, in that it implies he understands the "roots" --and wants war not for his propaganda position of eliminating an "illegitimate state", but rather for the reasons that, oh, Cryus the Great would've had: eliminate all non-slaves.

This is how Nanci Pelosi reads that bit of news.

Are you sure it wasn't that he watched "Sexy Beast" 2000 and he meant to say that Kingsley was beastly.
Admad must have remembered that Kingsley played a polish Jew in Schindler's List and he doesn't know that Kingsley is not really a Jew.

If we would only talk to them I'm sure we could straight things out.

How does a liberal democrat reconcile dealing with these reactionary nuts? Honestly, do they really believe its just "rhetoric"? It pains me to see authentic adults like Tom Lantos seriously prounounce their eagerness to visit this Iranian "putz"

Jealousy. Pure jealousy. Jewish hip hop versus Persian hip hop? No contest.

dclydew,

I agree that he believes his own rhetoric, which is why he is so dangerous. Hitler too told the world what he was going to do. Many died by not taking the threat seriously early enough. Let's hope it is different this time.

We could use skillful leadership that recognizes the threat in 2008. I am not clamoring for war, but neither am I running away from it. Hey, the French may even be helpful this time. There's hope.

The world needs a regime change in Iran. Repeat, the world needs a regime change in Iran.
