The Huffington Post is hoping to explain away Barack Obama's national security blunder on holding talks with any terror regime in the galaxy.
In a weird twist... The Huffington Post claims that Obama did not call for talks with Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran, but instead called for talks with the grand poobah and spiritual leader of Iran, the Ayatollah Khamenei.
And, according to The Huffington Post, this is not nearly as bad as calling for talks with Ahmadinejad because Khamenei isn't "quite the flagrant anti-Semite" that Mahmoud is:
As of today, John McCain was still accusing Obama of wanting to negotiate with Ahmadinejad. Why doesn't the McCain campaign and other assorted Republicans ever accuse Obama of wanting to negotiate with Khamenei? Well, because Khamenei isn't quite the flagrant anti-Semite Ahmadinejad is...and, as we keep hearing, Obama has a Jewish problem.Here is what Obama said during a debate last year about talking with leaders from terror regimes:
Barack Obama, CNN Debate, July 23, 2007.
When asked: Would you be willing to meet separately without precondition during the first year of your administration, in Washington or anywhere else, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea in order to bridge the gap that divides our countries?Today the Huffington Post is trying out a new line on this Obama gaffe.
SEN. BARACK OBAMA (D-IL) answered: I would.
They insist that by "leader" Obama meant "Ayatollah Khamenei" and not "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad."
And, why is this a good thing?
Because, again, the Ayatollah is not "quite the flagrant anti-Semite" that Ahmadinejad is?
Let's look at that...
July 17, 2006:
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei described Israel on Sunday as "satanic and cancerous" and praised the Lebanese group Hezbollah for its "jihad" against the Jewish state.2001:
"This (Israel) is cancerous tumor of a state [Israel] should be removed from the region."And, this:
"The purchase of any item which helps strengthen Zionism is not permissible."On Hamas:
"The only way to succeed is to continue resistance against the occupier regime."That was just a quick search- There's plenty more out there.
But, the deranged mind at the Huffington Post blog believe that Khamenei is not "quite the anti-Semite" that Mahmoud is.
Please.
UPDATE: Iranian Human Rights activist Banafsheh Zand Bonazzi adds this:
The photo below, is of a Norwegian Statoil Executive in Tehran, Iran. The poster behind him which bears a photo of Khomeini, clearly states both in Persian and in Arabic: "ISRAEL MUST BE WIPED OFF THE MAP OF THE EARTH." This photo was published in Statoil's own internal magazine in 2002/2003. I originally sent this photo out to everyone at that time and everyone summarily ignored it.
The fact that the Mullahs and every single member of the Islamic regime has repeated this specific sentence for years, as a matter of course, since Khomeini said it himself in the early years of the revolution, is somehow being ignored, as usual.
Regime Change Iran
UPDATE 2: Oops!! The Huffington Post and TIME missed this--
Video of Obama saying he would meet with Ahmadinejad.
"Not as flagrent an anti-Semite"?
ReplyDeleteOh, then that's all right, I suppose.
Remember Paul de Man, one of the foremost figures of postmodern theory? He wrote pro-Nazi articles for the collaborationist Belgian newspaper Le Soir. In one of them he argued against "crude anti-Semitism," in favor of a more nuanced and sophisticated anti-Semitism. None of that sophistication, however, prevented him from concluding that Jews had contributed nothing positive to European culture and that their total removal from Europe would be no loss. (After the war, he abandoned his wife and children and moved to the United States, where he created a new identity for himself which included vague references to WWII resistance activities.) Needless to say, many American lefty intellectuals rose to de Man's defense when his collaboration was revealed, unleashing a torrent of polysyllabic lies to obfuscate the truth.
The Left will always have a strong tendency to embrace thugs.
Who gives President Amanutjob his marching orders anyhow? I think HuffPo has the master and obedient slave confused here.
ReplyDeleteThis comes as no surprise. Arianna is Obama's chief fluffer. Well, maybe Olby and her fight over that position.
ReplyDelete"You're not quite anti-semite enough. You're semi-anti-semite. You're quasi-anti-semite. You're the margarine of anti-semitism. You're the Diet Coke of anti-semitism, just one calorie, not anti-semitic enough."
ReplyDeleteLOL... appeasement is hillarious, isn't it?
He's hardly flagrant at all.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like he's calling for the destruction of Israel of something.
Praise be unto Allah.
HUFFnPUFF PEST - CAUGHT IN A LIE
ReplyDeleteAccording to DEBKA, not only does O'Bomber want to talk with them, but he (and Clinton) both sent their subversive representatives to Israel during the Bush visit to convine Israel not to worry about it.
"According to DEBKAfile’s political sources, Bush was furious when he found out that both Obama and Hillary Clinton had sent representatives to the international conference in Jerusalem to solicit campaign supporters in Israel.
Clinton’s was ex-ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk and Obama’s were Dennis Ross, formerly of the US state department and ex-special Middle east envoy, and Dan Kurtzer, another former ambassador to Israel.
Whereas Indyk kept a low profile, Ross and Kurtzer were in and out of the offices of Israeli leaders including prime minister Ehud Olmert, They promised that Israel had nothing to fear from Barack Obama as president, or his offer to meet the presidents of Iran and Syria for face to face discussion on the issues outstanding between them and the United States."

"They insist that by "leader" Obama meant "Ayatollah Khamenei" and not "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad."
ReplyDeleteSo he is going to negotiate with the religious leader and not the political leader?
Perhaps someone would be good enough to point me in the direction of a link that shows Khamenei has addressed any of the world leaders (non-Muslims) directly?
While he's at it, maybe he can give Sistani a ring too.
"America is the great Satan, the wounded snake."

Oh, and as Joanne said, "Who gives President Amanutjob his marching orders anyhow?"
ReplyDeleteexactly! So there's no real difference. It's just the typical Leftist smoke-n-mirrors.
Well if they are anti semites then I guess they should be killing and eliminating their OWN Jews who live in Iran. The jews who celebrate their Holidays and they even have a Jewish representative in their Parliament.
ReplyDeleteHere's a video for you to get educated on.

Being against ZIONISM and antisemitic are two different things. This is why their Jews in Iran live in peace and are even allowed to visit their family in Israel.

ReplyDeleteow, that picture would make a good Obama poster if you put Obam in the picture. So many talented artists for Obama and his 'talk with dictators' policy. His 'Change', 'Hope' and 'Progress' mantras are actually somewhat self-mocking. Making your own Obama posters is totally addicting, I laughed so hard I almost had a breakdown. LOL!
