"Did Howard Dean Write The Ahmadinejad Letter?" and other stupid memes from religious sites
Edited on Fri Dec-01-06 03:06 PM by madfloridian
Just how low will they go? This is from a religious news site, believe it or not. It is bordering on stupid and already to ignorant.

From WDC Media News

Did Howard Dean Write The Ahmadinejad Letter?

2006-11-30 -- WDC Media News -- WASH—Nov 30—DJNS--The leader of the foremost sponsor of terrorism in the world, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has written a letter to the American people trying to sound reasonable and to coerce American public opinion to essentially reverse course in American foreign policy. If not for Ahmadinejad’s signature on the letter, it could have been signed by any Democratic leader from Nancy Pelosi to Ted Kennedy to Dick Durbin to Charles Schumer. In fact, Ahmadinejad’s letter reads as if it were taken from the Democratic Party’s website. Before I go any further, I want you to know that this is not a political column, it is one that is showing the tangible evidence that one of America’s political parties is in more agreement with the terrorist concept of the world than with those who wish to fight terrorism.

Ahmadinejad struck Democratic Party themes throughout his letter. He reviewed the liturgy of criticisms of the Bush Administration—there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; the American people are losing their civil rights in order to fight terrorism; the Bush Administration has concealed the truth and blocks any portrayal of current realities; Palestinian mothers love their children and have a right to their homeland; the support of Israel at the expense of a Palestinian homeland is wrong; the Bush Administration is kidnapping people and holding them without trial; It is time for America to pull out of Iraq—these are just a few of Ahmadinejad’s themes.


Well, well, Bill Wilson , Daily Jot News Service Senior Analyst....stupid is as stupid writes and thinks.

And how many of you remember Hal Lindsay of Late Great Planet Earth fame? I do, I remember he fooled my parents, but only for a little while. Pretty soon their innate intelligence caught up, and they caught on to him.

Well, look what he wrote at the illustrious World Nut Daily..oops make that World Net Daily.

Mahmoud the Democrat
Posted: December 1, 2006
1:00 a.m. Eastern

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed a letter to the "noble Americans" on Wednesday in which he said he was certain that the American people detested the Bush administration's policies and offered to work with ordinary Americans to reverse them.
Ahmadinejad, who evidently gets his information about America directly from the New York Times, is convinced that the mid-term election results were a backlash against "the many wars and calamities caused by the U.S. administration."

From his letter, he seems to think that he can manipulate public opinion and therefore coerce American foreign policy.

Ahmadinejad has heard the same rhetoric being expounded endlessly by Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, Dick Durbin and Jack Murtha for months, and evidently, he thinks that Howard Dean and Company are representative of the view of most Americans.

Ahmadinejad seems to instinctively recognize that the Democrats on the American left are his most valuable ally in his war against the United States. That's why his letter sounds so much like it was written by Howard Dean and Company.


Stupid, ignorant, and very dangerous words from so called religious people. Just when you think it is safe to go outdoors.....

1. And when we mention the similarities of fill-in-the-blank righties' rants to the
rantings of an early 20th century German leader, the shit hits the fan ...

3. A rational mind includes the possibility that these things people say
Edited on Fri Dec-01-06 02:50 PM by patrice
are similar because they are true, not necessarily because they have the same motives.

5. Yeah your right, this could turn into a very nasty civil conflict
for us in this country before things are over. I know I am hopping for the best but realize that things could get pretty nasty here. Particularly with laws now in place that gives the president the right to claim any particular America citizen, and therefore groups of citizens, as an enemy of the state. Chilling.

6. Look up "Late Great Planet Earth"...see Publisher's comments.
This is almost a gleeful time for those I call end-timers.

7. Being picked up by other religious news sites....
http://www.usareligiousnews.com/newsArticle.php?ID=1486

This is the Bill Wilson article syndicating I guess. No attribution.

This is really scary stuff:

"The United States is at a dire crossroads. The Bush Administration appears to be caving in to a misinformed, ignorant and manipulated public opinion by wavering on the war on terror and backing away from supporting Israel , our only ally in the Middle East . Meantime, the terrorist forces are waging an effective propaganda campaign swallowed hook line and sinker by liberal politicians and the mainstream news media. The terrorists goal is to usher in the peace of Islam to the world, which means enslavement, torture and death to Jews and Christians.

“Take heed that no man deceives you.”-- Matthew 24:4"

8. From that same religious site...."Abstinence Only Education Proves Effective"
http://www.usareligiousnews.com/get-article.php?ID=2349

(AgapePress) -" A new study reveals that abstinence-only programs can be effective in reducing teen sex and in delaying their "sexual debuts" without discouraging the use of condoms during future encounters.

The study, under the leadership of author John Jemmott of the University of Pennsylvania, involved 662 African-American students from inner-city middle schools in Philadelphia. Ranging in age from 10 to 15, the participants and their actions led to the following conclusion: Those who received abstinence-only teaching were less likely to have had sex at a 24-month follow-up evaluation, as compared to other students who were exposed to "safer sex" teaching and condom use without a mention of abstinence.

The findings conflict with former President Bill Clinton's comments about how abstinence programs make teens less inclined to use condoms"

Sites like these are very dangerous to Democracy.

10. Oh, I love it when they pretend to care about Jews
Christofascist rapture ready wingnuts have no use for Jews beyond the necessity of Israel's existence for their end-times fantasy to be set in motion. However, once the actual rapture/tribulation/Second Coming arrives, they'll demand the Jews convert lest they be killed and banished to eternal torture right alongside the Muslims and all other non-true-believers.

9. Reminds me of a townhall.com editorial
Which stated that if Keith Ellison takes the oath of office on the Koran, American civilization (whatever that is???) will be dealt a death blow.

Ooooooooooooookay.......

These people are nucking futz. I always feel proud of the Dems they single out as examples of degenerate leftism, like Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy (a perennial favorite), and John Kerry just to name a few "eeeevil liberals" I've seen them rant about recently ... you know you're doing something right when the wingnuts call you the source of all evil in our society.

14. This is weird, and also stupid. An open letter to Ahmadinejad
from another right wing site. They include Dean in the letter, so this has to be talking points sent out by someone...Rover???

http://www.chronwatch.com/content/contentDisplay.asp?aid=25337&catcode=13

"While your English translators are quite good, we recommend that duplicate copies be provided in Ebonics and Spanish the next time you write. Both of these languages are used widely here, and the millions of Americans who favor them deserve the chance to hear your pearls of wisdom just like the rest of us.

Howard Dean agrees with this recommendation, and tells us that he forgot to mention that we are becoming multi-lingual when he prepared the final draft.

It is noted that you dated your letter November 29, 2006. We trust that you recognize that the year 2006 is based on the number of years since the birth of Jesus Christ, who is the only deity to have walked on earth and the only source for redemption and eternal life."

I fear how things are going to happen in this country.
