I don't know why you would believe the 'moon of crap' website over the Christ. Science Monitor, one of the best and most sincere publications in the country

I complimented the CSM before you did. I said it's usually one of the best on the Middle East.

The Moon of Alabama blog entry completely shredded the CSM article and exposed it as rank propaganda. For you to just ignore that is disturbing.


How the fukk did the Moon of Crap "completely shred" the CSM article? There was no video at the end of his link so I have to take his word for what went on at that one building...but even if he is right, completely shredding the CSM article is a gross exaggeration.

True. Some polls did show those numbers. Let's face it the polls aren't exactly steeped in integrity in Iran.

Are you kidding?

1. This poll was conducted by Americans, not Iranians.


I saw no poll conducted by any American firm......unless you mean the professor at the University of Michigan.......if so, that ain't no poll.

2. The pollsters have a repuation for integrity.
3. The poll was reported in the Washington Post.

All of these facts were CLEARLY stated in the article. How could miss all of this?


Which American firm did a poll in Iran? I really want to see this poll. Please provide the link. TIA.

And even the professor cited in the article has to have been full of crap given his comments on the election results because the Iranians now are admitting that there was something rotten with their election:

Guardian Council: Over 100% voted in 50 cities

Iran's Guardian Council has suggested that the number of votes collected in 50 cities surpass the number of people eligible to cast ballot in those areas.

There is reason why I am willing to second guess a website like Moon over Ala. when its running up against a well respected publication like CSM. Its amazing to me that you were so easily smitten. What's your problem?

What's your agenda here? Why are you suddenly turning into an illiterate ad hominem Neocon?

Huh? You want me to buy into the Moon over ALA's position that Ahmadinejad is a good guy who has done good things for his people and should have won re-election? That Iran's current 30% unemployment rate is fictional creation by the American media.....or worse by neocons? That in spite of being an oil producer, Iran is shouldering heavy debt because it cares too much and does too many good things for its people....and Ahmadinejad is a saint who plays Santa Claus too often? Why do you think so many people are rebelling.....that they are happy but a little bored and craving some excitement? Sorry dude, but it seems you are the one whose gotten confused.

Here's some research on the election that I trust much more than Moon over ALA's:
