Comments on: Iranian Leader Opens Up

Ahmadinejad Speaks Candidly With Mike Wallace About Israel, Nukes, Bush

[willhunt22]

Mike Wallace, are you kidding me? You sell you journalistic soul for access to a madman? This is the same lunatic who openly speaks of the anniliation of Isreal as the solution for peace. You are so weak as a journalist if you can't ask a single question about this pathetic man's support of terror and his sponsoring of muders of innocent women and children. You give him a stage to slam our president and you pose not a single question that exposes the thug that he is.

Give us all a break!

It's simply appalling that CBS News gives this Enemy of the World a mouthpiece. The sweet irony is that I'm sure the same 60 minutes will contain a segment about Mel Gibson being an anti-Semite. The real anti-Semite, the one who calls for the end of Israel and Jews, gets legitimacy in Primetime, while the ranting drunk, who hasn%u2019t killed one Jew by supporting Hezbollah with guns and money, gets ruined. Mel deserves what he gets, while Ahmadinejad gets pandered to. Typical CBS. Typical American media.

Boy, Katie must be pissed. She had to be hoping
she'd get the big sitdown with the lunatic and show America just what a sensitive, reasonable guy he is (and cute!)

To get scooped by that brastrap-snappin' Wallace. That's gotta hurt...

[mnmichael]

Oh, I'm certain that Mike Wallace asked AhMad some tough, challenging questions that typically gets journalists thrown in Iranian jails.

It is amazing how the facade on all sides are making things look terrifying. It seems as though there are agendas going on behind the scenes that are too secretive for the worlds political 'leaders' to reveal.

I don't want to think of myself as a bigot, racist, or anything such thing, however, enough is enough.
Muslims, Arab descent's, the religion of islam, and the middle east should be 'put in their place' once and for all!
That part of the world has been in wars for hundreds of years over religion. If they want to kill one another off, let them. Then, maybe we can all have a little peace. However, first, we must deport ALL Muslims, Arabs, and Middle Eastern Descent people. That sounds good to me! While they're at it, deport the illegal mexicans, and cubans. Let's not forget the illegal Somolians in Columbus, Ohio; the illegal Haitian's in New York; and the politicians in the US Government that promotes and supports the illegal invasion - all for the sake of globalization!
Each politician in the US government must be held responsible for the illegal invasion; just as, each middle-eastern should be held responsible for 9/11.
Let's just nuke the whole Middle East, but lets take our corrupt politicians there first.

See how ridiculous it all sounds? That's just like the interview with Mike Wallace.

God Bless Mike Wallace!

The neoconservative movement has hijacked the Republican party and the United States of America. We've spread more terror around the globe than most americans can admit. This terror includes instilling unrational fear in our own people for political ends.

FDR - "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"

Bush Administration - "Fear Everything! Fear all the time! Fear because it gives us power!"

I am no longer afraid of these people. They deserve my contempt, not my fear. I really hope the media is seeing that the american people no longer believe commercial media, big business, and the govenment love triangle.

I applaud CBS News for this interview! I would rather have poor understanding than no understanding at all!

[Krunch1]

This interview again shows the ignorance of the maintream media. This man has called for the destruction of Israel, has denied the Holocaust ever happened, has called for the death of all Americans, and now Mike Wallace gives him a platform to spew his venum. I'll bet Mike Wallace didn't challenge him on his comments about the Holocaust or the destruction of Israel and America.

[greendroll]

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaking to his base. Too bad that base includes so many Americans. It is curious that he criticizes Bush for the actions of the UN and complains about the tone of American diplomacy while he is busily negotiating with his enemies through the use of rockets. Why anyone would dignify this manipulative liar with a world-wide media platform escapes me. It is enough to read his drivel on the IRNA web site.
If he thinks the era of the bomb has ended (it has yet to begin actually) I wonder why his government is striving so mightily to obtain one. When the era of the bomb does arrive, it will likely be because this man has ushered it in.

[nschwabe]

This guys is a complete lunatic. I suggest that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Kim Jung Il of South Korea get together and buy some more platform shoes so they can stand tall in front of the world community. Truth be known, they are desperately seeking self worth by thumbing their noses at the United States. I suggest supporting Israel just to upset one if not both of them.

[marymapes]

Ahmadinejad denies the Holocaust while threatening to nuke Israel and "finish the job" that Hitler did.

Mike Wallace would have given Hitler an interview on the eve of World War II. Have you no standards Mr. Wallace? Stop prostituting yourself.

[haloguy81]

Granted, its a little too sugary to be received from any one ruler, but how much have we been spoonfed in the past 6 years? His perspective is correct, even if it may be false. The time of bombs HAS to pass, or else all the agitated, narrow-minded, selfish idiots out there calling for war are going to get it in spades. There has to be a way to communicate, people. The whole "bomb them" strategy only works if you're going to nuke the whole region. Because guess what? Those men out there blowing themselves up or getting blown up - they have children, and grandchildren. And those next generations are going to remember the BS the U.S.-Israeli government put them through. And then once they get old enough to act... you get the gist. It's never going to stop. So either WE stop, or blow it all up.

[azcomments]

I wonder who hates our president more - Mike Wallace or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Probably Wallace.

[charlesryder]

Looks like Ahmadinejad's been reading the Democratic Party's talking points again.

[deydeydeydey]

must be something in the CBS water/food/donuts thats consumed there...

like Dan Rather sought Saddam, now Wallace seeks attention from a similar character - Ahmedijihad...

[nschwabe]

The Iranian President has repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel. How can a leader want peace and accept cultural differences when he specifically seeks to destroy his neighbor. All one has to do is look at the freedoms that are denied most Iranians to see that opression and violence are the only means Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can rule by.

[siempreko]

Why would you give a terrorist the venue to share his "thoughts, dialogue and cultural exchanges?"

This man has the goal, desire, vision to destroy us. He has no desire to have true diplomacy.

I guess he is speaking to the crowd that continues to blame America for what happened on 9/11. And they are listening to him !

[obelisk07]

Once again, CBS becomes a paid lackey of terrorists and nuclear madmen. You've just provided a forum for this murderer and terrorist to speak on US TV.

Absolutely no negative questions were asked (nor would they have been allowed) so your integrity and journalist impartiality was non-existent. Well, from the station that gave us Dan Rather-gate, I would expect no hint of professionalism.

[steveg344]

Alright Mahmoud! Speak truth to power!

Tell that lie to the scores of innocent victims in both Lebanon and Israel- victims of a terrorist "army" of hate-filled men who utilize those people for human shields; an army trained, encouraged, and supplied by the government of Iran. I'm so sick of terrorists being given a venue in the American press, to promulgate their lies. We are finding out just how "unbiased" the major media are, after hundreds of doctored pictures, corpses being used as "victims"- just tell the truth. We can take it.
