Iranian Filmmaker on CNN defending Obama response to Iran

[JI7]

calling out idiots like McCain for using what is going on in Iran to go after Obama. said obama doing the right thing.

Don Lemon brings up stupid comparison about how Bush was criticized for playing Golf when there were problems in Iraq. and now Obama went to get ice cream today.

the filmmaker shows how stupid that is by pointing out that the mess in Iraq was caused by Bush. the violence in Iran is not what OBama caused.

brings up a lot of hypocrisy and stupidity of people like McCain and his singing about bombing iran.

Iranian filmmaker disgusted by the Republicans. says people in Iran don't want America getting invovled as the REpublicans are demanding. he was very passionate and Don kept trying to stop him and they had to go to commercial. i hope we see him and others on tv more.

i would love to see people like him go up against McCain, Chambliss and other ignorant asses.

1. Yes, I was watching.............

I wish the Iranian filmmaker had been allowed to continue - seemed to me he was rudely cut off too soon.

2. Cut off, because he would not badmouth Obama

and praise the rightwing warmongers.

3. that was a very strange exchange

What was Lemon thinking? Oh wait, he *wasn't* thinking!

4. I watched a guy just before commercial break at 10PM CST...

mentioned bomb, bomb, iran coming from McCain - and immediately CNN guy jumps in and shuts him down - goes to commercial.

5. Don had been trying to get him to stop anytime he criticized the Republicans

i think he learned that the only way he was going to get out his message was to just keep going on. or else he will just be wasting time trying to answer bullshit questions like the comparison of Bush golfing while Iraq is a mess to Obama getting ice cream while Iran is a mess.
