I've noticed that those usual suspects who are always complaining when Nazis get a seat into the European Parliament or Bush fixes an election are how can I put slightly less vocal this time around.

This bastard denies that the holocaust ever took place and yet we haven't seen much comment from here - all I've seen from those on the left is that we shouldn't interfere...unlike during Apartheid...

Why are the likes of the SWP and Respect remarkably quiet on this issue? Is it because Ahmanidejad staying in power actually suits their agenda - aka continual support for Hizbollah and Hamas, which means continuing attacks on Israel, which means that these groups have an excuse to keep breathing? No doubt if this was a loony right-wing twat like Bush then they would be on the streets demanding blood. But Ahmanidejad is a fucking conservative religious nutjob!

Perhaps I'm thinking with too much common sense.

What these last few days have shown in those supposed lefties in the public eye are as hypocritical as those they criticise - they give those of us who want democracy everywhere in the world a bad name - note the way the conservative right have been able to turn this into something to beat Obama up with.

It should be in all our interests that all people have the right to democratic and free elections and not just those that it suits us to have that right, whilst those who have live in the jackboot of the likes of Mugabe and Ahmanidejad (formerly heroes of the repressive left) have to continue living under those conditions, because it's in our government's interests to do so. Utter fucking bollocks.

And for the record I want all religion to go and crawl back into its neandethal cave that it came from in the first place. Religion has no place in the 21st century world that we live in.
