Iranian official uses 'N' word to describe Obama
There they go again - those Iranians are getting all hopeychangey on us again.
Don't ever let anyone tell you Obama's "outreach" the Islamic Republic has been a failure. We already knew they were a bunch of Nazo-loving Holocaust deniers. Now, we should be gratified that they've adopted the rhetoric of one of our most famous, home grown terrorist outfits; the KKK.
PBS is reporting (via Jim Hoft ) that a high-level Iranian official who comes from one of the most prominent and powerful families in Iran, used the "N" word to describe our president:
Mohammad Javad Larijani criticized the policies adopted by U.S. President Barack Obama and referred to him using a racial epithet."When Barack Obama was sworn into office he talked of verbally engaging Iran," the U.C. Berkeley graduate was quoted as saying. "What has changed is that today this [the equivalent of the N-word in Farsi] talks of regime change in Iran."In a Saturday meeting at the Islamic Engineers Society, Larijani said, "I am not a racist, but I must respond to this man [Obama] in some way."Larijani's brother, Ali, is the speaker of Majles (Parliament). Another brother, Sadegh, is head of the judiciary.
Ali Larijani was the top Iranian nuclear negotiator with the west until he resigned a couple of years ago. He is now Speaker of the Majlis and one of two personal representatives of Khamenei to the legislative body. His brother Javad is also a high level advisor to Khamenei and a big shot in the Iranian nuclear program.
No doubt Iranian apologists will say that this kind of the thing is aimed at the Iranian people and should be ignored. But if anyone wants any evidence of exactly how the clerical elite views our president, this is a pretty good indication that they have no respect and nothing but contempt for Obama.
