So is President Obama. And so his spokesman correctly described President Ahmadinejad. The BBC is lying when it says that this has been “retracted”. If anything, it has been reinforced.
I wish that Ahmadinejad had not won. But he did. Iran is a country in which it is still possible for the electorate to vote against the direction of the BBC, and the BBC cannot contain its rage at what is, in itself, this happy fact. Non-Beeb candidates are not only on the ballot paper, but even receive proper coverage. The nerve! The sheer nerve! And for someone like that to win!
The North Tehran Trendies, whose opinions were the only ones sought by bone-idle Western reporters in the run-up to the election (or, indeed, since), did not vote for Ahmadinejad. The BBC set up an entire “service” to instruct people not to vote for him. So the election must have been rigged. Mustn’t it?
Look out for how the Democratic primaries were rigged, because Hillary Clinton didn’t win, but the candidate whose organisational base was the black church and whose main crossover appeal was to practising Catholics did. And for how the 2010 General Election was rigged if Cameron doesn’t win, as there is still not the slightest reason to believe that he will.

The idea that "practising" Catholics voted for Obama seems incongruous. The Catholic Church is against abortion and homosexuality. Obama has turned out to be just as pro-war as Bush was.

ReplyDeleteThe Republican Party is in favour of both abortion and homosexuality. Its record speaks for itself.
