New Republic: Can Anyone Beat Ahmadinejad In This Week's Election?

[alligatorader]

This article is disgusting. The author's comparison reveals their bias, dismissal of facts, and blatant disrespect for our country. I guess CBS hopes to cater to all of the "Bush = Hitler" crowd. Pitiful.

Actually the shenanigans that went on in the Iranian election resembles what went on in the 2008 presidential election. We had a candidate who:

Was tied with the criminals at ACORN
Took illegal contributions from non-citizens
Had people intimidate voters
Had ties to terrorists, radicals and racists
Had a local media eating out of the palms of his hands

I see lots of similarities bewtween the two. As for President Bush, he won the 2000 election. It is a shame the viewers of CBS or CBS News for that matter still has not figured that out.

You guys have crossed the line. You are now nothing more than a propaganda arm of Leftist nuttiness. You were liberals before; now you are outrageous useful idiots.

It's too bad George W Bush did not beat the snot out of writers like Secor to supress the opposition like Ahmedinejad. You low-lifes are pathetic.

What a colossally stupid article.

Comparing him to a clueless, purposely stupid war criminal is such an embarrassment for Ahminijad The president of Iran actually won election fairly and squarely. He did not start two unnecessary wars based on lies and threaten many more. He did not order torture and illegal spying and Americans to go kill women and children for the oil companies.

Only a fool believes that this guy is in charge of anything other than what the mullahs let him do. The elections are a charade, although they do a better job at it than the Soviets did during their single canidate elections.

Good article. The conclusion seems fair. Iran has their Bush too and the sooner they get rid of him the better.

The NEW LIBERAL FASCISTS REPUBLIC...................has dropped to new lows.

This is the same left-wing magazine that ran a phony anti-Bush blog for Iraq...........and they KNEW and allowed it to continue....

America's "mass media" has pretty much been taken over by Liberal Fascists and this story is more SAD proof...............

............CRIMMINALS.........

Can we please have some of that HATRED ENERGY that the press/Dems and liberals have generated up here in upper Midwest? If we could channel this; we could keep our utility bills from GOING UP UP UP to PAY for local govt pensions and salaries and the likes. What a DISTRACTION that Americans bought the "HATE GEORGE W BUSH" business. This is one big sad deal. The Bush family is classier than all of the MSM put together.

It is unlikely that President Ahmadinejad will be repalced in the upcoming elections. But the fact remains that no matter who wins, Irna's domestic and foreign policy will continue to be directed by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei

Surely you are going too far ,no other nation is dumb enough to put a little George in charge ?

[cbsantispin]

Iranian elections are under tight control, the Candidates who could successfully defeat Ahmadinejad are not permitted to run against him!

[fischer1991]

i watch debates between ahamdinejad and his oponents he is a ******* genius he has confidently defeated all his oponents in debates(in my opinion) and there is no doubt he will be the president for 4years later in despite of all his failures he is an excellent speaker who knows how to attract people specially rural people who are generally uneducated and easily believe his inspirational and false comments about brilliant future of iran he rudely states iran has a perfect picture in the world and states inflation rate in iran is just 15% but as central bank announced inflation rate is in fact 25% but he speaks with such a confident that people believe him

[Citizen-Bing]

"The incumbent president is deeply unpopular at home and abroad. He came to power with a dubious mandate, but governed in a polarizing fashion that has divided even his one-time allies. Iranians have paid the price in every area of life that is touched by the government."

Deja Vu all over again for the people of Iran. What W and Ahmadinejad have in common is that dogma trumped reason to the detriment of everyone. Good riddance to them both!!!

[JacDesVert]

Hey Genius, Ahmadinejad won the election. The real difference is that Bush followed the rules and left when his terms were up. In Iran they just rubber stamped Ahmadinejad's pass for another term.

I love the statement about polarizing fashion of governing. What do you think Obambi is doing at present? Or are you just to much of an Obot to actually admit that he's even worse on that topic than W?
