Ahmadinajad on MSNBC "We don't have homosexuals in Iran"

[durrrty libby]

Yes he said that and the audience laughed

And some kind of ridiculous sexist crap about women

"special gift from God"?

[rockymountaindem]

1. And, as we know, there is no crime in the Soviet Union.

:sarcasm:

I'm glad this event got to go forward. Hopefully it will dispel the notion that somehow Ahmadinejad only comes across badly because of the US media. This guy needs no filter to sound like a total ass.

14. Thank Gawd for his "gay bashing".

Otherwise, there just might have been a clarion call for a "Mahmoud" DU Group.

[BOSSHOG]

2. There are No Homosexuals in Mississippi either

Hey, I can be a comedian too!

[wndycty]

3. This is why I'm glad they gave him a forum. . .

. . .allowing him to speak shows the world what type of simple idiot he is. Had we denied him the opportunity we would have looked like we were afraid of what he said. I think all of those who didn't want him to speak should be ashamed of themselves.

6. He is very strange. "Science is in your heart"?

All his religious speechifying nearly put me in a coma

[BOSSHOG]

7. Yes Indeedy

brilliant minds like limbaugh and hannity were outraged (outraged I say) that this man would talk at a bastion of liberalism. As you well know they only want certain peoples thoughts transmitted in any public venue. I would encourage Columbia and other Universities to invite klan leaders to speak as well (of course without their hoods, but that would be a deal breaker.)

[BOSSHOG]

4. There are no Homosexuals in the republican party either

[station agent]

12. None in the church either. Or on any sports teams.

[villager]

5. of course you don't, dearie...

n/t

[FuJun]

8. Is this a joke?

I expect a punchline like "We hanged them all". What a cretin.

[rateyes]

9. Isn't that what Reagan said about..

homeless in the U.S.A.?

11. Well, geez no wonder there are no homosexuals in Iran

[ronnykmarshall]

13. But other than that .....

Some people think he's a swell guy!

16. OK so Ahmandinajad is not such a swell guy, and neither is Kim in North Korea

And I probably don't want to have a beer with Syria's President either now that I think of it, not that I would want to have one with ours mind you. And I also suspect I would find few tempting drinking partners on the list of third world heads of state that the U.S. sells arms to for that matter.

Not that Bush Administration policy makers are asking me or anything, but since when does the U.S. go to war based on how comfortable we are with the views of other nation's leaders? Which is not to confuse Ahmandinajad with being Iran's leader either, now that I think of it, because he ain't. He has less power inside Iran than Nancy Pelosi does here.

[rockymountaindem]

19. Wow. What a revelatory and depressing thread

Why do people allow their perspective to be totally defined by Bush? Is he the center of everything? Apparently so for some people.

[William769]

20. I have a comment for those people.

But I'm to much of a lady to say it.

[ronnykmarshall]

21. I'll say it .....

[William769]

22. ROFLMAO!

[lligrd]

15. They Don't Have Admitted Homeosexuals

Kind of like the Christian Right.

[mohc]

17. According to my girlfriend...

Who is Tehrani, she translated what he said as "we do not have homosexuals in the way you have them here". Not meaning they literally have no homosexuals, but that homosexuality is not as pervasive. Of course it might just not be as pervasive due to the whole executing them thing....

[FlaxieB]

18. No Homosexuals, probably not.

Muslim RULES: You steal, - Chop the hand(s) off that stole.

Adultery - Stoned to death.

Denounce/criticize the religion - death

These are stated criminal laws. If you are homosexual, you better stay deeeeeeeep in the closet. I agree with him, they are none. Price is way to stiff. Men are superior to women. Women are considered second class citizens. Where does that place gays in Iran? Over there it's a man's world period. Chances for homosexual survival? Slim or none. Let me rephrase: none.
