Here Hassan Daioleslam admits to a campaign of character assassination and defamation on Trita Parsi and sells it to known pro-War conservative Ken Timmerman, so he can use it against Obama and Clinton!
Timmerman is the author of “The coming nuclear showdown with Iran”, who predicted that Iran will be testing a nuclear weapon by the end of the year in 2006. He also writes for such bastions of objective journalism as “NewsMax”.
Read all about him here:

I don’t know who is using who anymore. Maybe mutual to some degree: Hassan Dai and his MEK connections using Neocons to get rid of the only credible Iranian voice in Washington by “destroying” Parsi, or Neocons like Timmerman using Dai “Chalabi style” so they can push for a war with Iran. Both sides have ties to Israel. But the law of the jungle says that the more powerful (Neocons) are probably running the show.
Update 11/16/2009 : As promised I will include some of the more substantive comments made by visitors. Thanks Everyone for your participation.

Why they hate Parsi you may ask?

Because he asks the right questions from the right people, the ones who are residing in the centers of power.
And he lets them know immediately that he’s nobody’s fool, you can’t fool Mr parsi. He stands his own ground while coalition building. He with the help of NIAC advanced the interests of the Iranian American Community on civic, cultural and political issues
Trita Parsi and NIAC supplied the resources, knowledge and tools to enable civic participation and informed decision making. They provided the infrastructure for bridge-building across the network of Iranian American organizations and the peoples of America and Iran.
In 2008, NIAC defeated a Congressional resolution that would have paved the way for a US-Iran war.
— In 2009, NIAC launched a successful campaign seeking a retraction from California Representative Jane Harman, whose controversial statement regarding the “separation” of Iran’s ethnic groups offended many. In response to NIAC’s efforts, Rep. Harman quickly retracted her comment and expressed regret for the concern it caused.
— NIAC successfully compelled the National Geographic Society to correct their 8th edition maps to read “Persian Gulf” instead of “Arabian Gulf.”
— NIAC successfully challenged Monster.com’s discrimination against Iranian Americans, compelling the company to give Iranian Americans a fair chance to compete in the job market.
— NIAC sought and obtained an apology from MSNBC’s Don Imus for a derogatory comment he made in 2004 about an Iranian airliner crash that killed 43 passengers.
— NIAC worked with writer/director Wayne Kramer and the Weinstein Company to make changes to the screenplay for Crossing Over (2007). The film originally depicted Iranian Americans committing an “honor killing.” Had the script not changed, the movie would have had similar effects for the Iranian-American community as the film Not Without My Daughter (1991)
–NIAC has registered thousands of Iranian-American voters.
–NIAC published the first-ever IranCensus, showing the make-up of our community.
There are those in the center of power who want to turn the cold war between US and Iran into a military war and they hate NIAC and Trita Parsi while Iranian Americans who lived during US Hostage Crisis hate to re-live that period.

Update. Dai was confronted about his false allegations and his personal connections to MEK on Persian TV.
