Antiwar Activists, 9/11 Truthers Gather In Tehran For Anti-Zionist Conference

WASHINGTON — A number of American and European antiwar activists and conspiracy theorists have gathered in Tehran for a conference aimed at addressing supposed Zionist control of the United States, according to Iranian press reports and the Anti-Defamation League.

Code Pink chief Medea Benjamin, journalist and former Cambodian genocide denier Gareth Porter, conspiracy journalist and 9/11 truther Wayne Madsen, and PressTV contributor Kevin Barrett are all reportedly at the conference. Other reported attendees include Dieudonné M'bala M'bala, the anti-Semitic French comedian whose performances have been banned in several French jurisdictions, several Holocaust deniers, and former congressman Mark Siljander, who pleaded guilty in 2010 to being an unregistered foreign agent for an Islamic charity that the government said was connected to terrorism.

According to a PressTV article about the conference, the gathering's "goal is to unveil the secrets behind the dominance of the Zionist lobby over US and EU politics." The conference's chairman is Nader Talebzadeh, an Iranian state TV host who previously organized a conference about "Hollywoodism" as a response to the movie "Argo."

Charming people.

Hmmm. Know what would be fun? Take one pack of gibbering bigots, and the other pack of gibbering bigots, and throw them together as an entertainment venue.



Two assholes enter! One asshole leaves!

No, I'm making the point that this congregation of crazy is going to kill far, far fewer people than the sort of stuff you and other zionists support, Dave.

Want to argue the point? How many people do you think this congregation of yahoos is going to kill before it's over?
