Is Ahmadinejad the Castro of Democratic Underground?

[trumad]

Just askin....

[BlooInBloo]

1. What does that even *mean*? And is the world so complex that everything...

... has to be just a version of something else? Can't Iran just be Iran, and Cuba just Cuba?


EDIT: Subject typo.

[trumad]

5. Lot of Castro denfenders on this board...

Looks like they're quite a few for Ahmadinejad as well.

[BlooInBloo]

12. lol! Holy idiotic lack of differentiation Batman!

[movonne]

16. No, they just don't buy the bull shit that the propaganda machine

is putting out...

[PM Martin]

2. What is that supposed to mean?

....

[xchrom]

3. ok -- that was -- bizarre.

[Double T]

4. Don't know, but BOTH need to be engaged in diplomatic conversation.

[soothsayer]

6. Isn't Castro the Castro of DU anymore?

[H2O Man]

22. No.

He was tombstoned.

[LittleClarkie]

26. Nah, Daily Kos snitched him in a night raid a couple of weeks ago

so we need a new one now.

[Lilith Velkor]

7. Don't be dense, trumad

You know damn good n' well that it's Chavez.

[trumad]

9. LOL

Forgot old Hugo...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. Castro Is A Secular Leader

And gays and women have full equality under the Cuban Constitution though there are breaches, especially in the case of the former...

[angstlessk]

10. No, I think Castro is the Castro of DU..the question should be....

Is Ahmadinejad to DU what David Duke is to Freepers???

[trumad]

13. I thought about changing it to make more sense...

Nah----- I like it just the way it is....

[JackRiddler]

23. No.

David Duke is a Freeper, or at any rate, about 1/3 of Freepers agree with him.

Ahmadinejad would get tombstoned at DU.

But Hugo - now he's a DUer.

[Kelly Rupert]

11. So is it Ahmadinejad, Castro, or Chavez?

Who is the true Castro? THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!

[Lilith Velkor]

21. Chavez

Ahmadinejad is more like Borat.

[LittleClarkie]

25. Oh, I smell a double-header coming up

:popcorn:

[H2O Man]

14. How so?

I see another DUer posting numerous things about DUers denying that he is bad, and I just am not seeing these posts. I do see a lot of people saying that although he is bad, he should be allowed to speak. But I'm not seeing any posts that seem to deny he's a bad guy. There are some DUers who are more prone to histerionics, but you are usually quite rational in your attempts to stir the pot. What is this about?

[trumad]

19. LOL

Spur of the moment post...worded badly.... but hey, I hit some bad ones occasionally...

I know--I know...I can edit it.... Nah... I gotta go for a run... Up to 3 miles a day baby...

Pretty soon I'll be boxing your son... ;-)

[H2O Man]

20. I just hope

that Paul isn't your favorite Beatle. There are too many McCartneyites on DU already.

[Mountainman]

15. When information about a leader of a so called hostile country is filtered through

our media how can anyone know the truth about them?

Most of us form a view in our minds of what the guy is and then act upon that view but how many of us really have a valid view?

[democrat2thecore]

18. It's not HIM as much as it is his fundamentalist religion -nt

[democrat2thecore]

17. He's opposed to U.S. policy - so he MUST be our friend!

That's the simplistic thinking of many. If you bring up any of the outrages of Islamic law, they immediately talk about something wrong with the United States. It's simplistic, but many like it that way. It makes them feel even more "radical." UNTIL, of course, they would have to spend a day living as an Iranian citizen. Blogs? - Forget it. Forums - Forget it. Right now many are sooo outraged at BushCo that anything else must be better - and that's just not true. Our simple presence and discussion here confirms that.

[LittleClarkie]

24. Was there a coup I didn't hear about?

Where's Skinner? Where's EarlG! Ieeee!

[retread]

27. That may start to make sense if I can down enough beer before I read it again. n/t
