Ahmadinejad's speech 'vile, hateful': US diplomat
Apr 20 12:17 PM US/Eastern

A US diplomat to the United Nations Monday condemned as "vile and hateful" a speech at a UN meeting given by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad attacking Israel as "racist."

"We call on the Iranian leadership to show much more measured, moderate, honest and constructive rhetoric when dealing with issues in the region and not this type of vile, hateful, inciteful speech that we all saw in the Ahmadinejad spectacle of this morning," said US Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Alejandro Wolff.

Addressing a UN conference against racism, Ahmadinejad criticized the creation of a "totally racist government in occupied Palestine" in 1948, calling it "the most cruel and racist regime."

His remarks prompted 23 European Union delegations to walk out of the Geneva conference room in protest.

The United States and Israel were among countries which had already boycotted the meeting, refusing to attend at all.

Wolff said the speech was "shameful" as well as "inaccurate" and showed "disregard for the organization to which he is speaking, the United Nations and it does a great injustice to the Iranian nation and the Iranian people.

1. sad, sad, sad. that the UNHRC is so completely and totally fucked up

5. And the worst thing is, he does it DELIBERATELY. He thinks this shit will earn him some "cred" at

home.

I think he "misunderestimates" the younger generation. They're just "sofa king" tired of the isolation. They're tired of the repression. What they do INDOORS is one-eighty out from what they do outdoors, from dress to personal behavior to ... you name it.

They look at their parents' and grandparents' photo albums, and say to themselves "Why could gramma and gramps go out dressed like THAT back then, and I can't go out unless I'm wrapped in a bedsheet and accompanied by my brother if I don't want to catch shit?" Or "Why is it that I can't take a girl on a date?" Or "Why can't I be left alone when I go to work, school, whatever? Why am I constantly rebuked by the "Morality Police" for some halfassed invented infraction?"

It's a horrible regime, a repressed society, and people are sick of it.

3. What's Susan Rice's take on this? We haven't heard much from her.

4. He's a vile and despicable person

Homophobic, sexist, and a Holocaust denier.

Obama should meet with him--on neutral ground--to tell him that he is an asshole.
