The Chappaquiddick-Tehran Axis BY JAMES TARANTO The Best of the Web Monday, December 19, 2005 Sen. Ted Kennedy, the doyen of defeatism, responded to President Bush's speech by saying, << "It's wrong for [the president] to attempt to silence his critics by calling them defeatists." >> Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment. Someone must have silenced her by calling her a defeatist. Kennedy, of course, is repeating a familiar liberal trope: accusing the other side of trying to "silence dissent" by participating in the debate. Reuters reports on another example: <<< Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust is a matter for academic discussion and the West should be more tolerant of his views, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said on Sunday. Ahmadinejad last week called the Holocaust a myth and suggested Israel be moved to Germany or Alaska, remarks that sparked international uproar and threaten diplomatic talks with Europe over Iran's nuclear programme. Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi defended the president's remarks, which also drew a rebuke from the U.N. Security Council. "What the president said is an academic issue. The West's reaction shows their continued support for Zionists," Asefi told a weekly news conference. "Westerners are used to leading a monologue but they should learn to listen to different views," he added. >>> While America fights for freedom in the Middle East, brave Ted Kennedy and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad whine about getting "Dixie Chicked." opinionjournal.com sfgate.com today.reuters.com opinionjournal.com
