[...] I have to wonder. To paraphrase Jon Stewart, Is this Hollywood Diplomacy Inaction? Like they’re afraid if anyone in Hollywood said anything bad about Iran, it might set back the Obamamessiah’s ‘reaching out’ to today’s Third Reich? Or if AMPAS said anything bad about Iran in a press release, they might not be allowed back to apologize, or train Iran’s propaganda film stooges again? [...]

[...] Hitlerite regime, there is no separation of anything from ideology. Not only does Iran have a film industry worthy of Goebbels, they’ve even sentenced filmmakers to death for celluloid slanders! [...]

I know a lot of people didn't like the Hollywood guys' visit in Iran. But I actually think it is a good thing. I see the positive side to this. Hollywood and the Mullahs? Think! The Mullahs hate Hollywood because it propagates modernity, decadence, nudity, and all the stuff the Mullahs hate you name it. Nah the Mullahs aren't that stupid to enjoy Hollywood style support. It would finish them off.

While Egypt's hands may be stained, truth is not. This man may have been writing an article in favor of political factions that exist in his country, but it simply doesn't matter. His viewpoint, and his government's views, do not matter, so long as the words written reflect truth. A rational person paying attention to the actions of the Iranian regime would accept the above arguments as plausibly true, based on past history.

/Just a basic defense against the what-if types and the relativists. Call me old-school, but when the thing speaks for itself, when truths are self-evident, we can ignore motives. Even the foul tell the truth now and again. It's the "now and again" that ensures they'll never be lumped in with the righteous

"This film…without their consent?" Reread the quote, and reflect: Have two paragraphs come from anybody else that describe the Ayatollahs so well?

The above quote comes from an Egyptian columnist. As such, he is sanctioned by the unfree state he lives in and writes for. I say if what he writes is true, motive is irrelevant. It may be that what he writes serves the morally crippled government he depends upon, but if what he writes is true, those facts are independent of the ruling parties' desires.

More to follow.

I say it again, this same country Iran, who executed a young girl by hanging her from a crane should be blacklisted. Women such as Benning, should be ashamed of themselves. Hollywood is full of morons.
