Comments on: Protesting Dinner With Mahmoud http://www.yourish.com/2008/09/21/5361 Cutting straight to the point Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:56:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Michael Lonie http://www.yourish.com/2008/09/21/5361/comment-page-1#comment-33530 Michael Lonie Tue, 23 Sep 2008 04:46:54 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/?p=5361#comment-33530 If Gorilla Boy talked in Christian idiom I think most of the people who purr over him and who denounce Bush as a warmonger would be out demanding, in the most strident terms, that Bush do something to stop Iran, not tomorrow, but yesterday, last month. After all if we translate his blather into terms that Westerners would be more familiar with he is calling for nuclear war to bring about the Second Coming and the Battle of Armageddon. He would be identifying Bush as the Antichrist and proposing to start the war to bring about the end of the world, as described in Revelations. I suspect that it is because he is speaking in unfamiliar Shi'a Muslim terms, combined with the condescension of liberals towards non-Western people, that prevents our good thinkers from realizing what it is he really proposes, and that he means it seriously.

Many of the same organizations who prance about worshiping Obama and shouting "Bush=Hitler" rub their hands in glee at the thought of going shoulder to shoulder with a true mass murderer. Don't these same groups scream for equality,gay rights,women's rights? When Ah-need-a-job claps his hands and sees a great glowing light each time an Iranian is stoned for homosexuality,witchcraft,washing their hands, etc....do these same self-absorbed liberals pout and claim that he is merely misunderstood, or do they fathom the degree of ruthless insanity which haunts Islamofascism? Birds of a feather. The stink of appeasement rises from Turtle Bay.

It includes the American Friends Service Committee, and anyone who thinks they are genuinely against violence in all its forms need only look at their website. The section on what they call the Palestinian-Israeli conflict--and is, of course, more accurately the Arab-Israeli conflict--is instructive.There is a sweet little picture of children in a Gaza refugee camp in class. I wonder what the children are learning. I guess they're OK with people threatening mass destruction, especially when it's Jews. I'd be curious to know how many Jews would actually have to be killed before they might reconsider the invitation. The list of groups “honoring” Ahmandinejad is interesting.
