Ah, Iafrate stands up for the regime which sponsors Holocaust denial conferences.
What are you getting at S.M. Stirling– that it is suddenly OK to taalk about killing Iranians because their leader is dangerous and malevalent? Funny, that’s similar to the logic of Al Qaeda’s defense of terrorism against civilians.
It’s not similar: it’s the same.
Stirling seems to have taken a liking to me lately. He’s been following me around the internet for about 24 hours now, often being quite threatening. Some would call that “stalking.”
Don’t you have a novel to work on?
Perhaps he should have focused on one of the other main US exports to Iran: brassieres.
Never let it be said that we don’t support the Islamic Republic.

What an idiotic statement! Apparently blanket nationalism trumps taste and decency in individual acts.

Apparently bull semen as well.
You people are consistent and so predictable.
I’m not shocked. You side with a nation that loudly proclaims it will wipe Israel off the face of the Earth (once they have enriched a sufficient amount of uranium), and denies the holocaust in order to detract from the closest person we have to a pro-life prezzie candidate.
I’m going to quote (in part) the grand dame* of the conservative movement’s statement on Pope John Paul II’s opposition to the Iraq Invasion in February or March 2003, “traditional Catholic anti-semitism.” Fits you all here.
* None other than your fellow Obama traveler, Andrew Sullivan.
The Twelfth Commandment: “Thou shalt not attack a terrorist nation until it incinerates half your population.”
T. Shaw, you have to be one of the ugliest, vilest people who ever comment here. Leave it to you to roll homophobia, racism and xenophobic nationalism all into the same comment.
Bras, ciggies and bull semen for prime beef cuts…. sounds like they’re going to open some Hooters joints over there.
Whoops, that was a joke… guess I need to be condemned and go to confession now. For my penance I will burn an American flag.

Not only that; he then accuses us of anti-semitism!
It would be inappropriate for a president to say such things but “NEVER just a joke”? I disagree.
Ahh gotta love internet stalkers. I have some of those too! They just have no life is all.
