"The speech lacked the extremes of ones back home - there was no mention of the
US as the great Satan - but he smiled as he promised he would witness Israel's disappearance."

But I'm sure machette will find out he really meant he would put on some
really dark glasses and it would just seem like Israel disappeared or something.... eek:

talk about drawing a long fucking bow.

this wasn't something he said earlier, it's something he said two days ago, for the love of god,
pls take your own advice re reading and try to gain some context of the material presented.

edit: also thread title sucks, this is not complicated and not important, only
an anti semitic apologist for the sack of shit Ahmadinejad would see it as such.

It matters because it highlights the pathetic "mistranslation" crap you tried in vain to promote
was a mere imaginary glitch in the CONTINUING spewing of hatred from Ahmadinejad, for
someone who always has a put down of the reading and comprehension skills of others
you certainly miss the point when it suits you.

He wants to destroy Israel and you are an apologist for him, if that's not anti-semitic I don't know what is.

All I am pointing out is one quote that is it. I'm not going into anything broader. I said if you didn't agree that was fine but labelling me a anti-semitie is wrong. I have never said anything that you can actually justify calling me such a despicable thing. That is the most shameful thing I've read on this board and I deeply resent that.

Ahmadinejad does frighten me. His talk about the whole 12th imam scares many people even juan cole - the prof who cleared the translation. But it's this one quote I'm pointing out that's it, this one quote that is repeated daily. I never said I praised the man. Just because I post something that clears a quote means I'm a apologist for him? Right. rolleyes:

I still don't see how the actual translation is different enough from the perceived translation to deserve the fuss.

In retrospect, this was a mistake to post..a grave mistake.

Are you implying that "we" cannot comprehend your problem that you've brought to the forefront?

No. I should have stuck to news rather than controversial material.

I think youre the only one who finds this "controversial" Machette - and really your "reason" for posting it seemingly changes like the wind. First it was a huge deal, because the American media (and by extension I assume the White House) "manipulated" the wording of the quote, and now you're backing off saying "Oh I just found this interesting".

You got roped into some "controversey" created by the Progressive anti-Right (and by extension anti-Israel) Internet movement, someone sent you a blog piece - and - as they wanted you to - you viraled it whereever you post.

I still find it interesting and if this isn't controversial then what is it? Where this thread has gone from labeling me a smarty pants and then calling me a racist, that is what I mean when I say the post was a grave mistake. I'd rather post news. I said this one quote may or may not have been taken out of context and yes the media publishes this quote everyday. I added that anyone can find quotes in the past and now in the present where he said something harsh. And give me a break with this blog shit already. The guy is a well known prof does he have to work for the washington times or something to get his message heard? If you want to stick with corporate media that's fine no one is asking you to look at other sources that may put into question various issues. No one sent me this piece either, I look through various sites each day and no one asked me to spread the word..that's a strange claim to say the least. And also since when is this anti-Israel. Not anywhere in the piece does it say something anti-Israel. Just because its sorting a quote out makes it anti-Israel? Just like questioning the Israel occupation makes me a anti-Semitie?

I'm done with this thread.
