11. Beneath your dignity.

As a first matter, that's an "all them Ay-rabs is the same" slur, and a terribly petty one at that.

You are suggesting that this person is just a madman mouthpiece for the ayatollahs?

Here's his Al Jazeera brief bio:

Ali Hashem is a senior Al Jazeera correspondent with a focus on Iran, Lebanon, Iraq and the wider region. He is also a fellow at Lancaster University's Sectarianism, Proxies and De-sectarianisation Project.


You do remember who Baghdad Bob worked for, I trust.

Or are you suggesting that Al Jazeera is just a propaganda arm of the Iranian regime?

This whole thing is really getting to you, isn't it?
