The most interesting part of his entire speech is when the president was questioned about the persecution of women and the execution of homosexuals. At first he avoided the question talking about the execution of drug traffickers and people who "broke the law". When he was finally forced to answer, he claimed that Iran did not have "this problem" aka homosexuals in Iran , unlike the united states and other western nations. I laughed out loud when I heard this ridiculous claim. Perhaps homosexuals are not entirely "open" about their lifestyle in Iran because of executions, thus they do not exist and are not a "problem".

He also kept on claiming that the holocaust needs more research/scientific and scholarly criticism, as is true with other fields such as physics. However, he fails to realize or admit that there is actual forensic, eye-witness, and living people who can account for the holocaust, unlike some principals of physics.

Any other thoughts?

i've been listening to some of it on the radio. i thought it was cool that they grilled him.

i'm tellin you guys, chris baker's radio show out of houston is awesome.

his show just started, and of course everyone is talkin about this guy and blah blah he shouldn't have been allowed in, shouldn't have been allowed to talk, etc. well chris opens up his show with "why don't we just kill him while he's here?".

go here: http://www.ktrh.com/cc-common/hdradio/ and click listen now 740

um...I mean, why don't we?

oh i agree, it's just that this radio guy is awesome

god it would rule if someone just bucked up and popped his ass with a .45...

pay some crackhead a hundred bucks just to roll up there...

I think that would be in bad form and against the American spirit. It would also show that we are more barbaric than the very people we deem as "evil".

We should take his country away from him, give him a 'trial', and then execute him.

You are a fucking fool if you think this country is barbaric.

We have not even started to BEGIN being barbaric.

his country

that is how he treats it

well...that's how most middle eastern countries are run


yeah i wish someone had just popped him in the head...then they declare war on us and we get to turn that piece of crap country into target practice grounds

i am glad they allowed him to speak, it seems against free speech if he couldnt

i am surprised he let people tell him these things

My favorite quote was this:
"You are either brazenly provocative or astonishingly uneducated," Bollinger told Ahmadinejad about the leader's Holocaust denial.

me too

It doesn't seem like he's denying the holocaust (he says over and over again that he does not deny the holocaust [are seriously all the people in this country retarded?]). He's asking why aren't people allowed to challenge the claim?

And I agree with him. I mean, the big bang happened. There is sufficient evidence to show this. Yet, people challenge the event over and over, and those people aren't arrested. Why are people in Europe arrested for denying the event of the holocaust?

Good question.

His denial of homosexuals in his country is absurd.

he's not a u.s. citizen and we don't have to extend our rights to some jerkoff so he can come into our country and spout garbage from his fork tongued mouth

the fact that you would give this man any time of day to hear what he has to say surprises the hell out of me

Explain to me why you would deny him the opportunity to defend himself and his actions? Why not let him explain himself? (just curious)
