Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is an okay sorta guy and Hillary Clinton is Satan Incarnate

[Stinky The Clown]

Neither of those statements is a universal reflection of the the basic views made known on DU by DUers.

However, if one accepts them as mere paraphrase, both have been uttered right here in River City.

1. Bravo!

[ElizabethDC]

2. I think that pretty much reflects the thinking of a lot of folks here on DU. n/t

[FiveGoodMen]

8. I seriously doubt that anyone here is an actual fan of Ahmadinejad

Just because they're not afraid to let him speak.

Tell me he's a Dem front-runner and then I'll be plenty worried and upset.

12. Letting him speak or "Ehh he ain't so bad"

The former is something most of DU supports, the latter is a vocal and troubling minority of DUers and whom the OP is aimed at.

3. I can never quite wrap my brain around this kind of "logic,"

but at least I'm not the only one who's noticing it.

4. Kick

[WildEyedLiberal]

5. People Bush hates = there MUST be something virtuous about them

Except for Democrats - hated equally by the freeper and certain segments of the DU crowd.

[FiveGoodMen]

6. No one wants or expects Ahmadinejad to be running the US at any time in the future

That makes a pretty big difference in my responses!

[Zandor]

7. K & R n/t

[hfojvt]

9. If Mahmoud is running for the Democratic nomination

then I guess there are two people in the field that I would reject in favor of Hillary.

[tkmorris]

10. Don't be silly

The two are not being compared to each other, they are being compared directly to their own reputations, In ine case, the man is not the demon he is supposed to be, and in the other, the woman has feet of clay .

[rinsd]

11. Yeah he's just a homophobic holocaust denying theocrat. Other than that his reputation is undeserved

But Hillary won't apologize for her war vote!

:sarcasm:

[bvar22]

13. If you look up "Strawman",

you will see the OP as the 1st example.

[Stinky The Clown]

14. Explain yourself

You made a charge that I simply don't see reflected in the OP. There is, simply, no strawman there.

Can you help me see it?

[Stinky The Clown]

15. Just another drive by, huh?

::::yawn::::

[uppityperson]

16. all sorts of things have been said/paraphrased on DU.

Big tent and all.
