-RetweetDefending the Indefensible

It’s no longer surprising, but there are actually left-wing bloggers who will defend letting Ahmadinejad visit Ground Zero.

UPDATE at 9/20/07 3:03:19 pm:

And if you really want to get a headache, check out some of the comments at CNN: New York: Iran’s leader can’t visit ground zero.

This was a bad move on the part of those in power (NYPD, Port Authority and other city officials). The Iranian President desired to make a gesture of good-will towards the US and we won’t let him? That sounds like a great way to avoid future conflicts with a growing world power. Who are we to judge his sincerity?

Stunt or Statesmanship? Ahmandinejad Goes to Ground Zero

Maybe President Ahmandinejad's trip to Ground Zero could provide a first step toward forging a new relationship with Iran. Maybe not. But this is, after all, Ground Zero. To me, there could be no better place for the dialogue to begin.

(And, frankly, if it weren't for President Bush, this dialogue (and many others like it) might have commenced six years ago in the wake of 9/11. But then again I digress...)

If dialogue begins, it begins over there, after they are defeated.

This from the other moonbat page:

Moreover, don’t we want Muslim leaders to acknowledge the tragedy of 9/11? Doesn’t that help us? Whatever we think about Ahmadinejad, wouldn’t it be constructive to have a prominent Middle Eastern head of state, particularly one that is hostile to America, publicly acknowledge the horribleness of what happened on 9/11? We are, after all, supposedly engaged in a battle of ideas.

But this is all too complicated for today’s Republican Party. Apparently all that matters is that Ahmadinejad is an “Islamofascist” and therefore it is imperative that he not be allowed anywhere near Ground Zero.

Koskidz...
Demonizing Iran

Any Iranian overture towards peace is either ignored or twisted into a source of outrage. A relentless campaign of demonization is underway, meant to lay the groundwork for an attack on a nation that has never attacked ours, a nation that might be willing to forge peaceful relations with the US, if our leaders would only allow it.
...
If our political leadership would only take more interest in the possibilities of peace than war, if they ever made an overture of peace to the nations we decide to call our enemies, or even responded positively when those nations make gestures of peace towards us, the escalation might be defused. One thing I'm sure of, that if the US had responded positively to Ahmadinejad's request to lay his wreath at the WTC site, it might have made things better between the two nations, and it sure couldn't have made them any worse.

But this doesn't seem to be what any of our politicians really wants.
Demonizing Iran is a step up to power, and that seems to be all they care about.

Americans are the war mongers and the Mullahs are men of peace.

The part they don't seem to get it that this nutter won't ever acknowledge it was Islamists that perpetrated this act. He would simple acknowledge that a tragedy happened, and leave it open ended like that.

This allows him to go back and spin things to his liking. Such as, "I have visited Ground Zero in NY. After the visit and much contemplation, I am further convinced it was Bush and his Zionist puppetmasters who perpetrated this event."

That people think it is a good thing, that something good could come from this is simply mind-boggling.

He wants to look for "relics" and honor those "brave" "martyrs" who stood up to the Great Satan. He is here to create tragedy, not understand it. Gloating is not the same as paying respects. His nation is under a threat because he, a loose cannon who is hoping for the mahdi, wishes to make nuclear weapons to speed his coming. Couldn't we find where he will be staying and have room service send up a complimentary roast pig each night? Or is that too diplomatic?

The Iranians do so love to proclaim themselves the successors to the Persian Empire after all. Plus if I remember correctly Iran did level an official protest about the film being anti-muslim.

He is a part of the leadership of a government who want to restrict the US influence in the world so as to facilitate the destruction of western society.

Kinda late for that, don't you think?

Prior Mahmoud Ahmadinejad quote:

September 11 events were horrible. Killing innocent people is shameful everywhere in the world. Our government condemned the attacks at the time...It is said that you have an extensive intelligence system which is even capable of hunting your opponents outside your borders. 9/11 was not a simple operation. Is it possible that such an operation is designed without the intelligence systems helping with it or being massively infiltrated? This is in fact a reasonable possibility. Why is this being kept secret? Why is it not mentioned who failed in doing his job? Why are the people responsible for the attacks not tried?

No.
His visit is not to "open his eyes" or embrace dialogue- although he would love to engage the US in a long drawn out pointless dialogue that would allow his bomb makers more time to get ready.

His visit is like that of a single combat warrior who charges through the lines of soldiers and steals a totem from the opposing war chief.

His visit would be coup-counting by walking into our most painful wound and demonstrating that we could not protect it from him personally.

The insanity of that comment from the CNN website is frustrating and stupid. The current government of Iran breached the security walls of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held Americans hostage for 444 days. If the Iranian President wants to make a "gesture of goodwill" he should start by apologizing for what happened in 1979, prosecuting those who broke international law when they seized the Embassy and paying restitution to the Hostages and their families.

I have be warning about this...Saudi Arabia has refused to cut interest rates in lockstep with the US Federal Reserve for the first time, signalling that the oil-rich Gulf kingdom is preparing to break the dollar currency peg in a move that risks setting off a stampede out of the dollar across the Middle East.

China threatens 'nuclear option' of dollar sales

This could get very ugly...

.This is a very dangerous situation for the dollar," said Hans Redeker, currency chief at BNP Paribas.

"Saudi Arabia has $800bn (£400bn) in their future generation fund, and the entire region has $3,500bn under management. They face an inflationary threat and do not want to import an interest rate policy set for the recessionary conditions in the United States," he said.

The Saudi central bank said today that it would take "appropriate measures" to halt huge capital inflows into the country, but analysts say this policy is unsustainable and will inevitably lead to the collapse of the dollar peg.

As a close ally of the US, Riyadh has so far tried to stick to the peg, but the link is now destabilising its own economy.

US Military Says Iranian Officer Under Arrest in Northern Iraq

The U.S. military says it has arrested an Iranian officer accused of smuggling powerful roadside bombs into Iraq for Tehran's elite Quds force. The military says the Iranian man was seized from a hotel in the Kurdish city of Sulaimaniyah.
...
In Washington, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the man arrested Thursday is the seventh Iranian Quds Force operative that U.S. forces have detained in Iraq. He said Tehran is ignoring repeated U.S. requests to stop such activities.

Why he's even allowed into the country is beyond me.

Generally speaking, people who do not take religion seriously themselves are incapable of taking religious fanatics seriously. Some of the journalists and bloggers in question cannot imagine radical commitment to anything. They project their own emotion-guided litmus(how do I feel? vs. what do I think?) on terrorists. They assume these fanatics who are literally dying to destroy our way of life will have a change of heart if we can just make tears come to their eyes or get them to laugh or otherwise "feel better about us". For someone to say that the apocalypse-obsessed Ahmadinejad's visit to Ground Zero could "forge a new relationship with Iran... "? That tells you all you need to know about not taking religion--and in this case a diabolical religious fanaticism--seriously.

"Iran was very quick to offer its condolences after 9/11, and there were reportedly spontaneous street demonstrations against the attacks.

It was not until February 2002 that Iran returned to its hostile stance towards the United States."

And the excuse of the old Shia vs. Sunni schism will not fly here.

This man and the regime is Tehran is nothing but unadulterated evil. Anyone who would even consider any kind of duologue with them is morally deficient. People love to compare Bush to Hitler, but the regime in Iran has round up 100's of thousands (jailing and/or killing them) for their opposition to the regime. Iranian students have been killed at the hands of their government for protesting. And you think he should be able to go to Ground Zero to pay his condolences? We all saw the spontaneous condolences from the Iranian people after 9/11. And Bush made it very clear that the Iranian people were not a part of the Axis of Evil, but its government was. Anyone who would want to allow this nut job anywhere in the US to do anything, other than go to the UN, needs really examine their soul.

Let the mad man go to Ground Zero. Just tell me exactly when and where he will be. I have a gift for him. Its a helicopter ride to 1100 ft. Then he gets to view New York from there to the ground like some of the poor souls that jumped on 9/11.

So given that Muslim people are incapable of living among themselves in peace and prosperity, and those that live in the Western diaspora often get caught up in Jihad, why do we advocate spending hundreds of billions of dollars, and thousands of young promising lives, to give Muslims opportunities they will inevitably squander?

The next time a Muslim people threaten us, we kill them, all them, with the weapons we use best, long range, civilian saturation bombing. No Muslims, No Problem.

L'omega,

You're pretty optimistic about old "I'manutjob" suddenly changing his spots. And why do we need to "debate possible solutions" to 9/11 with him? I think we know how to handle what led to Ground Zero (and sitting around singing "Kumbyah" -or however you spell the name of that stupid song- with people constantly calling for "Death to America" is not one of them.)

I can't believe it's only six years since 9/11 and we're having to defend not letting the leader of a terrorist state go to Ground Zero.

It's not like they had 28 years to make a goodwill gesture or anything. It's not like they seized our embassy in Tehran and held everyone hostage for 444 day. It's not like they used their proxies in Lebanon to drive a truck bomb into the Marine barracks or kidnapped and killed American citicizens over there. It's not as though they're providing arms and training to kill American soldiers in Iraq.

A little late in the game for 'goodwill' gestures.

moby - An insidious and specialized type of left-wing troll who visits blogs and impersonates a conservative for the purpose of either spreading false rumors intended to sow dissension among conservative voters, or who purposely posts inflammatory and offensive comments for the purpose of discrediting the blog in question.

there are actually left-wing bloggers who will defend letting Ahmadinejad visit Ground Zero.

Of course there are. Part of the unhinged Left's modus operandi these days is to engage in stringent contrarianism. Therefore -- no matter how sound the arguments -- since those on the Conservative/Right side of the political divide went (rightfully, in my view) ballistic about the prospects of Ahmadinejad visiting Ground Zero, it's predictable that the unhinged Left would oppose that view. Whatever the Cons/Right support/oppose, the Left will erupt with a reactionary, polar opposite view. Simple as that.

I have not read anything from above. And forget for a minute this megalomaniac is a sworn enemy of our ally Israel, sponsors terrorism, is actively pursuing obtaining a nuclear bomb of which I am sure he would use, and is indirectly or directly responsible for American soldiers being killed. My beef goes back a ways with this slug.

This SON OF A BITCH assisted in holding American hostages captive for 444 days, blindfolding them and parading them around like scared race horses. If Natalie had anything to do with, he would be arrested when he disembarked the plane and if he resisted I would pistol whip his ass on the tarmac for the world to see. If he was fortunate enough to remain cognizant of his surroundings, I would calf rope him, blindfold him, and literally throw him to the back of a paddy wagon where he would be escorted to the nearest pen to spend the rest of life in solitary confinement. Mahmoud would be listening to Barry Manilow songs and Rosie O'Donnell inspirational tapes for his only enjoyment.

And that's for starters.

I read a similar article on CNN- right away the use of the word 'justice' set off my BS detector and I wondered 'Did Sharpton or Jackson make their way down there yet?'. It wasn't until the very end of the article that they matter-of-factly made mention that indeed both of them were in the area.

So given that Muslim people are incapable of living among themselves in peace and prosperity, and those that live in the Western diaspora often get caught up in Jihad, why do we advocate spending hundreds of billions of dollars, and thousands of young promising lives, to give Muslims opportunities they will inevitably squander? I believe the answer is simple. We don't give them an opportunity. The next time a Muslim people threaten us, we kill them, all them, with the weapons we use best, long range, civilian saturation bombing. No Muslims, No Problem.

But look at it this way, Kos KKKidies- no trip to Ground Zero or Columbia is a far more mild rebuke for Ahmadinejad than a dissident in Iran would get from the hands of his government.

The exact word is "moby." A lot of people have been describing l'omega as a "troll," and while "troll" may be correct as the generic category, he is specifically a moby:
moby - An insidious and specialized type of left-wing troll who visits blogs and impersonates a conservative for the purpose of either spreading false rumors intended to sow dissension among conservative voters, or who purposely posts inflammatory and offensive comments for the purpose of discrediting the blog in question. The term is derived from the name of the liberal musician Moby, who famously suggested in February of 2004 that left-wing activists engage in this type of subterfuge:

Problem is, he dropped his moby mask on this thread and -- ooops! -- revealed his agenda.

This protest in Jena is scary. Al Sharpton and his ilk are trying to take our country backwards 60 years. This is race mongering at it's worst.


What they are doing is tearing apart a small town like jackals on a gazelle, for their own TV facetime. The people of Jena would have gotten it right. There was already enough coverage. Notice it was stupid high-school kids hanging the nooses, NOT the adults. Where were "the Revs." when adult, white cops in Torrance, California were hanging nooses over the desks of African-American cops? Jena was known as a rather peaceful, rural community. The adults were handling the situation until you showed up. Now the adults are involved in the race-baiting. Thank you, Jesse and Al, for helping set a small town at each others' throats, using the magnifying power of the media, and changing it forever, for the worse.

For the two "Reverends," get the hell out of Lousiana and get real jobs. Judging from your blank resumes of real employment, I'd say start at flipping burgers and work your way up. Or maybe 50-cent or Ludacris will hire you as co-producers. Unlike Bill Cosby, a TRUE African-American role model, you "Reverends" certainly have had no problems with and refused to engage with the NATIONWIDE damage that their gangsta rap has been doing, yet you leech onto Jena.

You've done enough damage by refusing to work on the social cancer in the African-American community for the past two generations. MLK would be so proud of you, Jesse.
If you want to redeem yourself ever, in the eyes of one of the greatest Americans ever (notice I did NOT call MLK an "African"-American), leave Jena now, get with Cosby, and address the REAL problems facing Americans of African descent.

re: #224 U.S. 395

Well put. Al and Jesse need to start being responsible for their actions. The are trying to stir up hate, not "equality".

It just makes me so sad to compare the self-esteem and hope raised by leaders like MLK in the '60s, to the social squalor much of the poorer segments of African-Americans have fallen back to. I blame it on
1. Paying unwed mothers to have babies.
2. Lack of father figures.
3. Gangsta rap/BET.
4. Glorification of such in the mass media.
5. De-emphasization and ridicule of education.
6. A total loss of hope among the last couple generations, when to swim against the current of gangsta anger and alienation means ostracization (witness what has been done to Condi Rice, whatever you think of her job performance).
7. The coup de grace: the influx of illegal Hispanic immigrants who are sucking up all the remaining entry jobs because my points 1 through 6 have resulted in a largely (please don't accuse me of broad-brush speech) very poor work ethic among African-American youth.

Many business owners, aware of lax border enforcement, have learned through empirical experience that when hiring for a minimum-wage job, by and large, (and these jobs are filled, by and large, by those with poor educational credentials) he will very often get twice the work out of the illegal Hispanic, with no complaints or backtalk, and the illegal Hispanic will show up for work regularly because he isn't getting a government check to stay home.

Sad but true. My prayer is for a second coming of an MLK - to teach self-respect, education, work-ethic, to erase the idea that "whitey is out to get me so I might as well sling crack." I pray that somehow the current dysfunction in much of our African-American society can be turned around, and that America will gain the wonderful energy of a restored people.

Government programs can only do so much. I pray that God sends some more like MLK, despite his human faults, and that the Jacksons and Sharptons can be tossed into the ashheap of history. (Oh yeah, Jesse, you DID make sure to get MLK's blood all over you that day. I pray for your rebirth, because I am sure that he is looking down at you and so very, very disappointed.)

This is my prayer.

Let him visit if and only if Iran donates at least $1M to the Jewish Heritage Museum there in New York. (Cash only.)

"The Iranian President desired to make a gesture of good-will towards the US and we won’t let him?"

Somehow that reminds me of Neville Chamberlain: "I have here from Herr Hitler a piece of paper..."

I do think Madman AMadmanOnJihad should visit Ground Zero.

Just at the proper time.
Like when they're pouring concrete and moving steel around.

Hey, where'd he go? All I see down there is a form full of concrete. I guess he was taken to paradise by the Mahdi.

247 U.S. 395  Thu, Sep 20, 2007 5:30:34pm

I guess with that mouthful, I'd better offer some solutions. In no particular order:

1. Declare a state of emergency in the African-American community - aimed especially at inner-city youth, such as Detroit, East St. Louis, Los Angeles, Baltimore, New Orleans.

1. Monitor and ban "Gangsta rap" under statutes dealing with obscenity and contributing to the deliquency of minors. Financially ruin companies that release it and jail the perps with stiff sentences. All this can be done because any semi-serious reader of gthe First Amendment knows that it is not a carte blanche.

2. Identify youths not attending school or failing at school, and do case studies.

3. Depending on the reasons for the failure (usually a toxic mix of all the adversity facing African-American youth), assess potential skill areas with vocational aptitude tests.

4. Provide financial incentives to attend vocational schools so that those who cannot learn by book due to poor education, can learn by demonstration. Many jobs in America - welders, oil-field workers, all sorts of techs, still rely less on the possession of a high-school or college diploma than on the sheer aptitude of an individual to master a task.

5. Many of these jobs are becoming increasingly well paid. Shortages of all sorts in the technical field on the HANDS-ON end are growing. I would trust a high-school dropout with an accredited training program over an MBA to weld my trailer hitch on.

6. Provide financial disincentives to have children out of wedlock. After the first out-of-wedlock birth where it cannot be demonstrated that the parents are making an effort to make it on their own, reduce support for each additional child, and make sure this is WELL KNOWN. Before you say "but, but, you'll starve the children," NO. It won't happen. What will happen is that with the reduced federal support, the extended family and community will be forced to pitch in and help. And they won't be too happy about it. This will provide a psychological disincentive to the mother to keep having children.

7. Greatly increase penalties for selling drugs. Combine this with proactive placement programs for those trained in points 4 and 5.

8. Pray for a group of younger men to help ol' Cosby spread the word. Like James Brown said, "I'm BLACK and I'm proud." Bring a positive spirit to this.

May the can-do spirit of MLK guide it all. Show the young folks the fruits of their labor. Teach them a skill they can master, be proud of, and make a decent living at. The awful backslide since the '60s has been reversed for too long. It's time for fresh thinking. No able-bodied man can feel proud living on a government check. I believe many, many, would leap at the chance to drop out of high school and get government help for VoTech. This is an emergency measure for this current lost generation. But light a candle, and it may grow. Emphasize the education, patch the current holes in the boat, and move forward.

The status quo is unacceptable. And it need not be permanent, once the Sharptons and Jacksons are shoved aside and the Cosbys get the help they need. Then there will be hope. I hope I live to see it.

Just my.. well, more than $0.02. I am just so sad at the current state of affairs. The Jena thing really has brought things to a head for me. Where is the black Jesus to throw the money changers out of the temple?

"Who are we to judge his sincerity?"

Because, after all, that would be, well, judgmental (and there's no greater sin than that in the multiculti handbook).

I'll tell you who: me for one. It's my absolute right to be judgmental. It's one of the things that distinguishes the species, don't you know? I celebrate my ability to be judgmental. And it's my judgment that you're a damned fool.

late to the party I am again, but I must say what an idiot this guy is, in mho,, the photo op that ahemahadinajackass is looking for would be brodcast as a ultimate victory for them, proof that the jihad started by 9/11 has come full circle,, the fricken "wreath" he wants to put there is a tribute to the 19 murderers, not the 3000 plus innocent people who died that day,,I simply cannot under stand the people who say things like this (not Thanos,, the other guy)
em>re: #18 Thanos

If dialogue begins, it begins over there, after they are defeated.

This from the other moonbat page:


Moreover, don’t we want Muslim leaders to acknowledge the tragedy of 9/11? Doesn’t that help us? Whatever we think about Ahmadinejad, wouldn’t it be constructive to have a prominent Middle Eastern head of state, particularly one that is hostile to America, publicly acknowledge the horribleness of what happened on 9/11? We are, after all, supposedly engaged in a battle of ideas.

But this is all too complicated for today’s Republican Party. Apparently all that matters is that Ahmadinejad is an “Islamofascist” and therefore it is imperative that he not be allowed anywhere near Ground Zero.

252 Goosio  Thu, Sep 20, 2007 6:06:45pm
This was a bad move on the part of those in power (NYPD, Port Authority and other city officials). The Iranian President desired to make a gesture of good-will towards the US and we won’t let him? That sounds like a great way to avoid future conflicts with a growing world power. Who are we to judge his sincerity?

How refreshingly naive.

253 bcgirl  Thu, Sep 20, 2007 6:14:01pm

i so wish I lived in New York right now. I pray that weather the asshole goes there or not,, for the entire time he is in NYC, that every availible New Yorker or for that matter any one who lives in that area would go down to the site, you know, to pay their respects, and everyone could stand hand and hand and make a huge circle around the entire thing,, two and three deep, start now and stay till he leaves,, don't let him SEE IT, and no HE DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE ANYWHERE NEAR GROUND ZERO,, and he surley should not be speaking at one of our "prestigious" universities,, I guess we should re think the "prestigious"

Can this person be so stupid as to think that is what this is about - that Imanutjob wants to acknowledge what happened on 9/11? Can I send it some reading material- his exact words, a few videos?

You are correct- he wants to go to celebrate 9/11

Doesn't surprise me in the least...if Osama Bin Dead's corpse was brought by someone to ground zero, the Koslings/et al would defend it...after all, in their reality, Bush brought the Towers down.

I'd like to see him cremated, and his ashes secretly (so the moonbats and jihadi-lovers wouldn't come to worship him) scattered at a dog park. Or in a feedlot full of pigs.

I think we should let him visit, whack him over the head with a shovel, toss him in the next batch of concrete at the WTC. It would be so New Yorkish...

Or put him in cement overshoes, and throw him in the East River.

re: #248 buzzsawmonkey

re: #239 U.S. 395

You are forgetting that Martin Luther King was being cast aside, even before his assassination, by the Marxist and Muslim ideologues whose revolutionary rhetoric and separatism gave rise to 40 years of isolationist ghetto misery, the careers of grievance-mongers of the picayune stature of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, and all the other ills which you describe.

The great success of the Civil Rights Movement--and MLK--was the passage of the Voting Rights Act and the federal commitment to back it up with troops if necessary. The ink on that bill's signature was barely dry before the Marxists and Islamists began leading the black community away from political participation in mainstream society.

If someone of King's stature were to appear today, he would be ignored; Bill Cosby, an exemplar of how far talent can go regardless of color, is reviled and derided by black "leaders" when he says things similar to what you say.

Yes, you make good points. My response is that that was then, and this is now. I think the Marxist/Muslim influence came not as much from a belief in it, as to align themselves with "the other." Sort of like the '60s version of BDS: "If the white man hates Commies, I Looove Commies!" Also, they wanted financial and social parity right away, without recognizing that these things take time. With MLK gone, this also provided evidence that "whitey IS out to get me," feeding the extremist flames.

The difference now, I think, is that enough time has gone by where I think there are fewer African-Americans who genuinely believe that "whitey's out to get me," but more of them without hope because they have no leaders. Down deep, I think many of them know that the Al & Jesse show is a Barnum 7 Bailey act. Easy to wallow in. But the wallowing occurs because they know Cosby is right, but are afraid to follow him, because they see no way to get "there" from "here."

I'm not sure if the analogy fits totally, but many say this about "moderate Muslims" - that there's peer pressure and no leader to stand up and show them the way out. I don't think they want separatism anymore - they want success - and just need hope, and specific direction.

That's why I said Cosby needs young help (because I believe very much that a significant number of the African-American population, if asked anonymously, would say that he is right), and that a government program is needed to provide those missing rungs in the ladder of upward social mobility (whether they are rightly or wrongly perceived to be missing). Some of the best years for learning - the mid-teens, are being wasted as African-American fail and drop out of high school, while instead they could become expert at a well-paying skill.

If a couple more MLK types came along to help old Cosby (he is too old to do it himself), and the government broke the mold of dependency (pun subconsciously intended), I do believe they would be listened to. The African-American community is tired of misery. You have to have read the many stories of Katrina evacuees who DON'T want to return to New Orleans, once they became part of a community that worked. The key is a positive message.

Buzzsawmonkey, I appreciate your take on this topic. Gave me more food for thought!

"10-10" Threatening Postcards Terrorize Marion County, Florida Schools
Clearly the threat involves a date of significance. To who?

The month of Ramadan, the month of fasting, has a special status as the month of religious spirituality and devotion. However, in Muslim tradition it is also perceived as a month of Jihad, a month in which Allah grants military victories to His believers. It was during Ramadan that Muslims triumphed in many battles throughout the history of Jihad for the sake of Allah – among them the battle of Badr in 624, the conquest of Mecca in 630 and of Andalusia in 711, the battle of Al-Zallaqa (in Andalusia) in 1086, the battle of Ein Jalut in 1260, as well as the 1973 War (called The Ramadan War)


Iran is a 1/2 day ahead of us... when it's 10/11 there it will still be "10-10" here.

Iran has promised a devastating “final response” to supporters of the Jewish State on October 12, the Islamic Republic’s Quds (Jerusalem) Day.

“Supporters of the Zionist regime will receive their response during the world Quds Day's rallies,” Iranian government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham said at a weekly press conference Wednesday.
...
Quds Day is held each year on the last Friday of the Islamic month of Ramadan. It was instituted in 1979, following the Islamic revolution by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini.


Will Iran be be celebrating a devastating “final response” on 10/12/2007 at their Quds Day rallies in Tehran?

It wouold be a shame if a piece of something fell on dinnerjacket's head if that asshole visits Ground Zero...wait, no, it wouldn't.

There needs to be protesters around wherever that jackass appears while he's in the US, holding signs with his picture showing his direct involvement in the 1979 hostage crisis! That SOB shouldn't be allowed on US soil, much less Manhattan Island!

Of course, Jimmah will be there to greet him, I suppose, and give him a great big hug, all the whille, dinnerjacket is thinking about what a useful idiot Jimmah really is to him. It's positively sickening.
