1. Jesus, what circular, TWO WRONGS, thinking!!!
Ironically, Santorum's chief complaint about Khatami's plans to speak in America is the former president's record on free speech.

"During his presidency," Santorum elaborated, "the suppression of free speech was so great that the organization 'Reporters Without Frontiers' branded Iran 'the greatest predator of free press in the Middle East.' When Iranian students demonstrated against the regime in 1999, Khatami's government arrested thousands of people, some of whom remain in prison to this day."


Way ta go, dogfucker...supress the speech of someone you don't like, who is a speech supresser himself!!!!

4. maybe Santyman will volunteer for this??
The Senator is proposing a trade-off with the government of Iran: "The U.S. government should insist, at a minimum," he concluded, "that authoritative Americans be given equivalent opportunities to speak to the Iranian people."

5. Authoritative, not authoritarian.
Man-on-dog Santorum is authoritarian, but he doesn't know squat.
