Serge @ 93: Honk!
BillO is pretty vile, but he's small beer compared to some of the scum that got on early radio. Remember Father Coughlin? He had to be forced off the air by use of tricks that I'd object to if they were pulled on a group like...Air America, for instance.
Would such manuvers be justified against O'Reilly et al? (Assuming an executive willing to use them, of course.)
Tucker @ 13: Me too. My first response was, "But Hullabaloo's got that picture of a guy who...oh."
(Sorry, meant to put this in the preceding post)
ABC is reporting that the US has been aiding an Al Qaeda splinter group that's making trouble for Iran from bases in Pakistan.
It's quite a stretch to say that Ahmadinejad's statement is being misinterpreted in the way Kruschev's was. The original mistranlation was by his own government's service, and has never been retracted. And he's had plenty of airtime on western media on this very topic, and has never corrected or retracted it.
So maybe he didn't mean to say it originally. But once "Wiped off the map" was out there, he seems to have decided that he likes the sound of it.
