A Feeling I'm Being Had
Submitted by davidswanson on Tue, 2007-09-25 00:06. Iran

By Scott Adams


I was happy to hear that NYC didn't allow Iranian President Ahmadinejad to place a wreath at the WTC site. And I was happy that Columbia University is rescinding the offer to let him speak. If you let a guy like that express his views, before long the entire world will want freedom of speech.

Ahmadinejad believes his role is to pave the way for the coming of the
Twelfth Imam. That's a primitive apocalyptic belief! I thank Jesus I do
not live in a country led by a man who believes in that sort of
bullshit. Imagine how dangerous that would be, especially if that man had the
launch codes for nuclear weapons.

The worst of the worst is that Ahmadinejad's country is helping the
Iraqis kill American soldiers. If Iran ever invades Canada, I think we'd
agree the best course of action for the United States is to be
constructive and let things sort themselves out. Otherwise we'd be just as evil
as the Iranians. Those fuckers.

Those Iranians need to learn from the American example. In this
country, if the clear majority of the public opposes the continuation of a war, our
leaders will tell us we're terrorist-humping idiots and do whatever they
damn well please. They might even increase our taxes to do it. That's
called leadership.

If Ahmadinejad thinks he can be our friend by honoring our heroes and
opening a dialog, he underestimates our ability to misinterpret him.
Fucking idiot. I hate him.

7. LOL! Thank you for posting this post of a piece, even third hand it is hilarious.

After I stopped laughing, however, i realized that the saddest thing, I suppose, is that there are so many of our fellow citizens that wouldn't even get it. Some days, like today, it feels like most of them wouldn't... don't.

8. Rock on.

The guy's a shit, but you are on point.

[liberalmuse]

10. Is this satire?

Because the entire article describes Bush almost to the letter.

[Eric J in MN]

12. Yeah, that's his point. NT

21. It's Scott Adams of Dilbert fame. Yes, it's satire.

[ClayZ]

14. Whooot! K and R

[parasim]

15. Brilliant.

But you really have to read it on the dilbert blog (and the comments) for the full effect.

[Vilis Veritas]

17. I am breaking out my Dilbert Books...

Going to take them to work...

Love the guy!

No Fear.

18. its only satire if its clearly satire

Frankly, this reads like a Freeper post. A real one. I know its satire, but if satire is too subtle, its indistinguishable from a real crazy rant. It looks like a rant trying to disguise itself as satire, and so fails badly in my opinion. I might as well read Freeper articles and believe they are satire, too.

20. Gimme a break. Lighten up already! nt

[Pacifist Patriot]

22. I don't know. Seemed pretty blatantly obvious to me.

[Usrename]

23. Yeah, the satire is obvious.

But in a very scarey sort of way.

19. beautiful....
