The mainstreammedia jumped on this 'homosexual' issue with energy simply because they were al ready pumped to demonize--it really was all they had left. They would have had a lot of things to jump on, but for the Columbia's president belly-flopping. After this ridiculous episode, Ahmadinejad was given free reign to control the dialogue, which he took advantage of. He was made a victim too fast, too glibly--all he had to do was then respond by pointing out that fact and then standing up to them, which he did with class and aplomb. The whole world, minus propagandized America, will not hold him to account.
What also becomes clear is that Israel, despite its imperial calibre bragging, screwed up by pressuring Columbia so intently--it led to a harmful (for them) and unexpected plus for Iran. "Check out the big brain on Brad!"
For all the questions left unanswered, I am perplexed at the spin both by the media and in here; everybody had the questions, where were they? Where was the meaningful journalistic follow-through? Was Ahmadinejad supposed to first ask and then answer, in order to present himself the clown America had already been mind-renditioned to think he was?
They are all going to fold and refold and refold the carton in order to keep intact that Ahmadinejab is a dicator, a maniac, a fool, etc.
It is episodes like this that make me realize just how tightly held by the balls American intellectual thought has become.
