Howard blasts Iranian leader's 'blind bigotry'
Howard blasts Iranian leader's 'blind bigotry'

Gedaliah Afterman

PRIME Minister John Howard has launched a blistering attack on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who he has accused of "blind bigotry" against countries including Israel.

In an interview with CNN on Sunday, Howard said the Iranian leader's remarks on Israel "were provocative, unacceptable and the sort of remarks that indicate somebody who operates on the basis of blind bigotry towards other countries".

Oh...provocative and unacceptable remarks from the Iranian leader, Mr. Howard? Kind of like these remarks:

"It obviously echoes the most horrible period of genocide in the world's history and the marking of Jewish people, with a mark on their clothing by the Nazis, and anything of that kind of would be totally repugnant to civilised countries"

Oh, but that was YOU bashing Iran over a FALSE story you'd just heard from the podium.

What a greasy, hypocritical little weasel.

1. Why "blind" bigotry?
Isn't it also a form of bigotry to compare Ahmadinejad's intolerance to blindness?

4. This coming from Australia? Have we forgotten Cronulla Beach?
Last year thousands of ordinary white Australians rioted in the streets, chanting cute slogans such as "ethnic cleansing unit", and similar.

Beating up Arab minorities. (Cronulla beach, Australia.)


Fighting it out with the police. (Cronulla beach, Australia.)


Oh what wonderful times! :sarcasm:

5. Does Howard hate blind people?
I suppose he'd kick Helen Keller if he had a chance.
