Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, April 30, 2010

Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged "immodest."

This is like putting Elmer Fudd in charge of wabbit welfare.

"Bang! Eastah wabbit stew."

"Bang! Eastah wabbit stew."

Fine. Kick the UN out of New York. Let them set up in Iran or Saudi Arabia. Wouldn't all those drunken diplomats and whoremongers love that!

Aryan Nations has been selected to lead a special delegation on antisemitism; the KKK will study race relations, the former head of Al Queda will lead a "truth about 9-11" commission and Lindsy Lohan will talk about abstinence.

Are China and Cuba still heading up the Human Rights seat? Sounds like the UN is right on par...

I thought for sure this was a story on the onion.

"And I bet liberals support this."

Idiot.

*smh at you.

"And I bet liberals support this."

This story has already been posted.

p.s. You're an imbecile. Rightwingers for centuries have wanted to keep women barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen.

On the other hand, the U.S. government, which never saw a rightwing death squad it didn't like, has long been on human rights commissions that concerned Latin America.

"Rightwingers for centuries have wanted to keep women barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen."

Susan B Anthony was a Republican......

Leftwingers want women in whore houses, and in the sexually liberating porn industry.

"Susan B Anthony was a Republican...... "

*Yawn*

Nobody gives a shit about party affiliation other than party hacks. Especially when they are a century old. lol. Talk about desperate. Hey! Did you know Lincoln was a Republican, just like Tom Tancredo today?

Nobody gives a shit about party affiliation other than party hacks.

And there sure are a hell of a lot them out there.

Sayeth the hack.

This actually might be good strategy. Put them in the spotlight and watch them squirm.

This could be a good move, as AXE says putting a white hot spotlight on them.

There is a story that King Solomon, who was most wise and could talk to animals, made a parrot his Minister of Agriculture... thinking that maybe.. just maybe.. now that the parrots were made responsible with their own minister of agriculture, they might not ruin the crops and fruits by eating them all up.

No effect. In fact worse. He regretted it as one of the worst mistakes of his life.

Put them in the spotlight and watch them squirm.

Yeah, as if Iran has ever shown they care about what the world thinks of them.

While we're at it, let's put criminals in charge of police departments, Klan members in charge of black history month, and illegal immigrants in charge of guarding the border. Have you ever posted something so stupid?

Anyway, jokes aside, you can't be elected to this Commission on Women's Rights if you are guilty of what the American media accuses Iran of.... raping women prisoners, arresting suntanned gals, stoning to death, etc etc.

All American media lies.

Proven.

The UN is wussy.... but it isn't stupid, you know.

And you can consider this a well deserved slap in America's face.

America no longer has the power to convince people to do what it wants them to do.

The lies in the media just don't work any longer.

AND, Obama chose NOT to challenge this. Gee, I wonder why not?

Gee, I wonder why not?

Too busy practicing the perfect bow?

well well..
need any other reasons to get the fuck out of the UN and make condos out of that building?

and of course barry is softening the screws on iran as we speak with more business doing business with people who help to KILL americans...

HEY I KNOW..

they can bring up a panel discussion on how to kill women on the street and watch them bleed to death like any good islamic extremist or jahadist should do.

It's a joke right? They can't be serious.

"And you can consider this a well deserved slap in America's face."

Why? Our mothers and daughters don't face legalized abuse.

This is more of a slap in the face to any woman who lives in a country where their rights are violated.

And to anyone who puts any faith in the UN as functioning institution.

Other than expending the energy it takes to shrug our shoulders, this has no effect on Americans.

nope briwo

been on ALL networks.

Amazing.

Finally an adult attitude. And from you, of all people.

Don't you wish Afkababble had your attitude?

He seems to be having a melt-down.

Where are the American bra burning womens right hags?

there's nothing melting around me.

AND kenm

if you are talking about now and that shit.
they have been COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY irrevalent since the POTUS sexually harrassed a young pudgy intern and they said

NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!

there's nothing melting around me.

I beg to differ.

get the fuck out of the UN and make condos out of that building

Well?

how do you figure that means im melting down..

its a reach..now if celisaRY were here..not THATS a meltdown...

and the little shit in the bad suit also now wants a visa to come to the uN..

HEY see if he can get in by way of arizona..maybe the iran problem would be fixed real quick..
or better yet..let him try and get through in Texas..

I don't know if this is all bad. Shutting someone out of a process never really changes the situation of the person being shut out. What better way to engage the moderates in Iran? The younger generation? Those poor fuckers who got pegged protesting the last election results? Change brings change, one can hope.

all women should have the right to expose their coochie in some trashy magazine or video and make lotsa money.

some may say its degrading, some abusive, but there are millions of men with itchy crotches and even itchier palms who think it really isn't.

there is no instance where i admire the women with those burkas and complete body outfits..
those here in texas in august must sweat ten pounds off a day.

SOme are just ninjas in loose fitting clothes.

"those here in texas in august must sweat ten pounds off a day"

Perhaps some Texans should start wearing them so they can lose all that weight from their frequent gorging sessions at Luby's.

how do you figure that means im melting down..

By the way you are getting all emotional. Then again maybe that's just how you are.

Radio-boy can't believe his eyes and ears... nothing new there.

This Kenm dude wants to burn bras. Plus other Americans seem really disturbed by the news.

You all should be like Surly here. Go in Cubicle, work hard stapling papers and xeroxing your butt, don't pay any attention to what goes on outside those 4 walls.

THAT is truly admirable.

nope...still 'aint rat'..

thats southeast texian for is not correct..

you drinkin the purple drank way too lawng.

The basic premise that their is some equivalency between countries is of course ridiculous. Why we are still involved in the farce is incomprehensible.

"You all should be like Surly here. Go in Cubicle, work hard stapling papers and xeroxing your butt, don't pay any attention to what goes on outside those 4 walls."

I have an admin to do that stuff. You wouldn't even be qualified to be her assistant. Based on your education and experience, you could take the job of the "security" lady who sits at the front of our building and pretends to pay attention to who is coming and going all day. For once you can get paid for being a rent-a-cop. LOL.

Its not that I don't pay attention to stuff like this. I just can't pretend to care about an institution that lost credibility years ago by facilitating genocide further disgracing itself. No satirist could come up with anything as ridiculous as what really goes on at the UN.

I have an admin to do that stuff.

Who gives an "admin" to someone who admitted to being the office gopher?

Nice try.

For once you can get paid for being a rent-a-cop.

I refuse to get paid.

Beating up people is a hobby... like being volunteer life-guard.

I just can't pretend to care about an institution that lost credibility years ago by facilitating genocide further disgracing itself.

You know... I almost believe you.

But then I remember who I'm talking to. LOL

Anyway, if you really are on the level, get this train-wreck called "Afkababble" to settle down. He is getting hysterical.

"Anyway, if you really are on the level, get this train-wreck called "Afkababble" to settle down. He is getting hysterical."

Getting???

"admitted to being the office gopher?"

I admitted to sitting in a cubicle, which is true. Nobody where I work has an office. You think this is some kind of statement about my status because everything you think you know about the US comes from movies and TV. Having an office doesn't make somebody a big shot. I quit a job where I had an office to take this one.

"get this train-wreck called "Afkababble" to settle down."

Why? That's his style. There is pretty much no way he really cares about this UN council either.

Nobody where I work has an office.

Ah...you are a call-center-creep?

I quit a job where I had an office to take this one.

Translation: They caught me pinching office supplies and I was given the boot.

(Shrugging my shoulders) Is it me or is this world just nutz these days? A couple of years ago I doubt I ever used the word "hypocrisy" and now not a day goes by without a few text book examples.

Only silver lining in this is one of my neighbors is a ultra fem lawyer for NOW. At our local social gatherings I make her crazy (being the Neanderthal conservative) and this should be more ammunition.

Hope and Change.
Yes we can.
What a farking tool.

"Ah...you are a call-center-creep?"

Not now. Some companies just believe it makes management look less out of touch if management sits out in cubicles among the pleebs. It doesn't work.

I worked in a call center years ago. It was awesome. Lots of funny characters and easily impressed, good looking young women. No real responsiblity in the job. Anyone who thinks there should be a stygma on that is an idiot.

America no longer has the power to convince people to do what it wants them to do.

Then the liberal agenda has been successful. The "progressive" trend of not negotiating from a position of power has been very effective. This is the result...

The U.N. should be in geneva, where strong nations can ignore it..

SULLY,

Anyone who admits that he works in a cubicle all day pulling staples and paper clips should be more humble and have more respect for people who do similar low class work like toilet scrubbers and floor moppers.

Out of curiousity, I wonder how Boaz got credtit for this thread. I posted it yesterday and made the first comment. Today it shows up with Boaz as the thread poster, even though my first post is still there. The thread posting was even removed from my home page. It would be fair if Boaz was first to post the thread to put the comments on his thread first, and move the comments on my thread on down instead of leaving them first.

Just trying to find out the rules.

Apparently there are no rules, BBob.

Well--maybe just a round or two--live dangerously. I'm a rebel.

Actually,

I did post this pretty early under another title, but I dont know if it was before you Bob. I usually try to see if there is another title before I post, and I didnt see one for this story...

WTF?

Boaz

It really is no big deal. You probably were first. I posted the thread at the time of the first post. My point was that whoever was first should have the posts under that thread posted first, and whoever was second should have the posts on that thread posted second. Even that is no big deal---there isn't any payment for posting a thread first.

I worked in a call center years ago. It was awesome. Lots of funny characters and easily impressed, good looking young women. No real responsiblity in the job. Anyone who thinks there should be a stygma on that is an idiot.

You said it yourself... "no responsibility" in the job.

Yes, there is a stigma (notice.. it's not "stygma"... call-center didn't teach you to spell?) with working in a call-center.

It's a more modern version of "burger flipper" or "Petrol station pumping guy".

Even that is no big deal---there isn't any payment for posting a thread first.

If there has been any payment you would've really raised hell, huh?

Thank God for small mercies.

No, I know you were not talking to me.

You talk to .. the sky... aliens... car antennas... smokestacks... the UN... UFOs chopping through clouds...

Of course you were not talking to me. You can't talk to anyone normal.

But I gave you an answer anyway. That's the kind of nice guy I am.

Iran has been elected to the UN Women's Right Commission?

Irony Flag.

Be Well.

And you looked.

BooB you were, Boob you shall always be. LOL

Irony Flag.

Like I said, it's a well deserved slap in America's face .... even though some Americans here are pretending not to care... rest assured, your Govt. does care.

Like I said, you can't be elected to this commission of you are in violation of it's charter.

THAT means, my dear Spud, that I was right and you were wrong and all those media reports of Iran doing this or that to it's women were American-media-lies... as I had said.

Case closed.

Point is, the world trusts Iran more than it trusts the US. hahahahahahahahahahaha

My.. how times are a changin...

THAT means, my dear Spud, that I was right and you were wrong and all those media reports of Iran doing this or that to it's women were American-media-lies... as I had said.

Disagrees

Be Well.

/Yes, obligatory.

Don't confuse the issue, Spud.

This girl was killed in a demonstration. It wasn't because she was a girl... it was because she was a demonstrator. It could've been anyone.

In fact, the Iranian Govt. said, her own people killed her and were there to record her death for YouTube.

Who knows?

Point is, the nonsense that passes for "fact" in the American media... the "facts" you quoted a few days back... that Iran rapes and kills women prisoners and stones them to death.... Seem to be just so much rubbish.

I'm afraid the UN just proved it.

..the "facts" you quoted a few days back... that Iran rapes and kills women prisoners and stones them to death.... Seem to be just so much rubbish.

No Tosser, "Rubbish" is the Iranian propaganda that you apparently swallow without even chewing first.

Zahra "Ziba" Kazemi-Ahmadabadi (1949 – July 11, 2003) was an Iranian-Canadian freelance photographer, residing in Montreal, Canada, who died in the custody of Iranian officials following her arrest.

Although Iranian authorities insist that her death was accidental and that she died of a stroke while being interrogated, Shahram Azam, a former military staff physician who used his purported knowledge of Kazemi's case for seeking asylum in Canada in 2004, has stated that he examined Kazemi's body and observed that Kazemi showed obvious signs of torture, including a skull fracture, broken nose, signs of rape and severe abdominal bruising. Iranian officials claimed that Azam had been afflicted with mental health issues and that he had been discharged before Kazemi's death.[1]

en.wikipedia.org

A lot of women in pre-revolutionary Iran had real jobs with which they fed their families. After the revolution the marketplace was not so welcoming of women and many had to resort to prostitution in order to feed their families. Their best customers? The clerics who's Flintstone-esque policies lost them their jobs in the first place.

The Iranians treat their citizens but most especially their female citizens like total shiat.

Be Well.

No Tosser, "Rubbish" is the Iranian propaganda that you apparently swallow without even chewing first.

As compared to you swallowing American propaganda?

WMD? Drones of death? Abu-Gharib prison abuse?

At least Iranian propaganda never got anyone killed.

was an Iranian-Canadian freelance photographer

Don't you know that spies are not covered by the Geneva accords?

If you are a spy, you can expect the works when you are caught.

Shahram Azam, a former military staff physician who used his purported knowledge of Kazemi's case for seeking asylum in Canada in 2004

You, again, quote a person who wanted asylum in Canada in exchange for a juicy story he might have made up.

After the revolution the marketplace was not so welcoming of women and many had to resort to prostitution in order to feed their families.

More nonsense, most likely.

Iranian women have always worked. Even after their piece of shit two-bit "revolution", they were not sent home to the kitchen.

Where I stand...

1. Very healthy cynicism of any and all American media.

2. If anything comes in the American media and is not about America, consider it a lie unless proven otherwise.

3. Iran might be as bad a place ... or not. I don't know... and I really don't care. (see I have an open mind)

Where you stand...

1. From God's mouth to American media to Spud's ears.

2. Iran is bad. Even if the UN disagrees, America sez so it must be.

See the difference?
