You and your tribe are quite capable of twisting someone’s clear message into whatever it is you want it to mean, so why ask your stupid question?

Didn’t Cole say that what the little guy did say was that the ” …occupation regime over Jerusalem… (should),,,,vanish from the page of time” ?

Other than the mistranslation that Cole is trying to correct, I can see how someone might think that Ahmadinejad is calling for the destruction of Israel based on that statement. Can’t you?

It was the one that the right wing warmongers like (Ledeen, Kristol, Liebermann, etc spin) You know the one “Iran wants to wipe Israel off the map” instead of the direct translation “Zionism will vanish from the pages of history”

That lie that has been endlessly repeated that last five years

Just heard Senator Chambliss say that there should be a recount in Iran. What an outrageous contradiction all of these Republicans saying how great the Iranian protestors are how there should be a recount yada yada where were these Republicans during 2000 selection of a President. They sure were not out calling for a recount then.

Rep Pence is all song and dance about the Iranian election…talking up the protestors a recount. Where were these guys back in 2000? Where was the media coverage during U.S. protests? The MSM is covering Iranian protest 24/7. What the hell is going on?

Spencer Flynnt Leverett was on C-Spans Washington Journal the other morning. He was great…says “get over it”

Same words the Republicans were using in 2000 during the Bush selection

What was it that Maddow said that Ahmadinejad had said?

Was it that remark where he said that there were no homosexuals in Iran?

Really something that the Iranian protesters are getting far far more coverage than the tens of thousands of folks (I was one of them) who protested the selection of Bush in 200O in D.C. and across the nation. The MSM is covering the Iranian protesters far more than those hundreds of thousands of American protesters (I was at 6 different anti invasion marches) millions accumulatively.

What fucking hypocrisy that people like George Will, etc were criticizing American protesters and the MSM was ignoring or demonizing American protesters and now the Iranian protesters are so brave, wonderful etc etc. Ignore or demonzie American protesters Celebrate Iraninan protesters.. Talk about double standards…talk about control of the media.

So many unsubstantiated claims being repeated about Iran that it is tough to keep up.

I heard Rachel Maddow repeat the main line rhetoric about just what Ahmadenejad has allegedly said about Israel I almost choke when Rachel repeated the neocons lines. She needs to spend more time at Professor Juan Cole’s place reading the direct translations instead of the neocons lines about Iran

But altogether, the people are extremely unhappy with the regime, and they have a lot of hate for the regime.

What are they unhappy about exactly? I trust what I learn here more than the News with their experts how many army experts bribed by Rummy are still on the MSM’s payrolls?
We can’t understand this until we really know what both sides want, why they want it and what are they likely to do to get it.
