Ali Eteraz attempts to paint all people to the right of Stalin, that aren't Muslims, as dishonest, utilizing an idiot journalist no one's heard of before.

Ali, the "yellow star" story was true; that measure was being considered by the implementation board.

It's not at all clear he "made it up:"

Eisin said the meeting was not an interview and was conducted for background purposes, on the understanding it would not be used.

That sounds like a non-denial denial.

Also, I seem to recall Nancy Pelosi being in the same situation a couple weeks ago and not being called a "liar."

You know, along with the Wolfy frame-up, this is a perfect example of how the left has lost all its principles in its zeal to oppose the liberation of Iraq and destroy the neocons. Taheri reports what he hears the repressive Iranian government is considering, and immediately the left leaps to the mullahs' defense, mischaracterizing his arguments and putting the Iranian regime in the best possible light.

The lefty "who's more evil" math apparently works like this:

Neocons advocating liberation of Mideast > Iranian regime that hangs 14-year-old girls for being "unchaste"

Progressive!

Commenting on Dean's World is a privilege, not a right. Dean is your host, you are his guest, and you should behave in that fashion. Dean is not your babysitter, nor is he your punching bag. Please remember this. In general, you are free to disagree with anyone on any subject you wish, but abusive behavior will not be tolerated.

Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.

Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
