Ahmadinejad is using Democratic talking points. No one has problem?
Here are his direct quotes from the translator. He gave two high profile speeches at Columbia U. and The UN.
The homosexual lifestyle does not exist in Iran because they find gays and kill them!! I agree with most of you guys about the homosexual bigotry in Iran. I do not believe it relates to marriage rights for gays here in the US.
It is interesting that the majority of what Ahmadinejad comes right from the pages of the dailykos.com, democraticunderground.com and many other blogs.
DailyKos:
George Bush lied us into a war and is listening to you when you call your grandma in Iowa
Pres. Ahmadinejad:
“For example, they deceive people by using scientific methods and tools. They, in fact, wish to justify their own wrongdoings, though, by creating nonexistent enemies, for example, and have insecure atmosphere. They try to control all in the name of combatting insecurity and terrorism. They even violate individual and social freedoms in their own nations under that pretext. They do not respect the privacy of their own people. They tap telephone calls and try to control their people. They create an insecure psychological atmosphere in order to justify their warmongering acts in different parts of the world.”
DailyKos:
Iraq has been managed badly and is a war for oil.
Pres. AJ:
“As another example, by using precise scientific methods and planning, they begin their onslaught on the domestic cultures of nations, the cultures which are the result of thousands of years of interaction, creativity and artistic activities. They try to eliminate these cultures in order to separate the people from their identity and cut their bonds with their own history and values. They prepare the ground for stripping people from their spiritual and material wealth by instilling in them feelings of intimidation, desire for imitation and mere consumption, submission to oppressive powers, and disability.”
DailyKos:
Bush and Cheney are the real terrorists and are warmongers
Pres. AJ:
“Making nuclear, chemical and biological bombs and weapons of mass destruction is yet another result of the misuse of science and research by the big powers. Without cooperation of certain scientists and scholars, we would not have witnessed production of different nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. Are these weapons to protect global security? What can a perpetual nuclear umbrella threat achieve for the sake of humanity? If nuclear war wages between nuclear powers, what human catastrophe will take place? Today we can see the nuclear effects in even new generations of Nagasaki and Hiroshima residents which might be witness in even the next generations to come. Presently, effects of the depleted uranium used in weapons since the beginning of the war in Iraq can be examined and investigated accordingly. These catastrophes take place only when scientists and scholars are misused by oppressors.”
and my favorite quote
“A month later, in another terrorist operation, 72 members of our parliament and highest ranking officials, including four ministers and eight deputy ministers, bodies were shattered into pieces as a result of terrorist attacks. Within six months, over 4,000 Iranians lost their lives, assassinated by terrorist groups, all this carried out by the hand of one single terrorist group. Regretfully that same terrorist group, now, today, in your country, is being — operating under the support of the U.S. administration, working freely, distributing declarations freely. And their camps in Iraq are supported by the U.S. government. They’re secured by the U.S. government.”
this is where he does agree with George Bush:
“For 28 years they’ve consistently threatened us, insulted us, prevented our scientific development, every day under one pretext or another. You all know Saddam the dictator was supported by the government of the United States and some Europeans countries in attacking Iran. And in — he carried out an eight-year war, a criminal war. Over 200,000 Iranians were — lost their lives. Over 600,000 Iranians were hurt as a result of a war. He used chemical weapons; thousands of Iranians were victims of chemical weapons that he used against us. Today, Mr. Nobal Vinh (ph), who is a reporter, an official reporter, international reporter, who was covering U.N. reports in U.N. for many years, he is one of the victims of the chemical weapons used by Iraq against us.”
Fact over emotion:
You will see that serious injuries occurred. Not life threatening, but REQUIRING medical treatment.
Proffesional race baiting has been a staple of Rev. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton for years. It is people like them and Mr Robinson who keep pouring gas on the fire.
I think the white kids should be charged as adults as well. We cannot tolerate unprovoked violence. Verbal exchanges are never an excuse for violent action. Shame on the lot of you for fanning the fire.
If you get the white kid charged as an adult that will solve the problem. let the state show people that unprovoked violence is serious and will result in serious jail time.
The broken windows theory applies here. Play the race card and minimize the violence and seriousness of the crimes. One more kick in the head, one more stomp can make the difference between concussion and permanent brain injury. The more we permit people to perform violence and get a slap on the wrist, the more we make victims out of criminals. It is a vicious cycle.
This column is a reaffirmation that the ‘Jena 6′ are victims and not thugs.
In case you were filtering — THE WHITE KIDS SHOULD BE CHARGED AS ADULTS AS WELL. When you are 15 and over, you understand the difference between right and wrong.
You are a hypocrite if you say to your self “When I was 15 I understood the difference between right and wrong, but that only applies to me not anyone else”
When you give violence the chance to grow the next thing we will hear about from the kids involved will be gunplay that does result in death.
