Taking sides
by Jahanshah Javid09-Sep-2008
Hamid Karimi writes: San Francisco Bay Area Iranian American Democrats (BAIAD) held a special public event featuring Steve Westly, the former candidate for California governor and co-chair of Obama’s campaign as the keynote speaker. The eloquent MC, Lily Sarafan, started the event by welcoming everyone and introducing the agenda for the evening which included a roster of speakers and grassroots community organizers. The first speaker was Ira Ruskin, the California assemblyman from the 21st district who has led key efforts on environmental issues. Ira commended the Iranian American community for taking the lead in becoming one of the fastest politically active ethnic groups in America; according to him it took other immigrant minorities many generations to realize the value of activism and civic participation>>> Full text

Obama is gaffe galore and not fit for presidency
by Anonymous on Thu Sep 11, 2008 11:22 PM PDTHow can smart Iranian community even consider Obama. Obama is empty suit and gaffe galore and not fit for presidency. All you have to do is to read his first book. Have any of pro Obama Iranian's read his first book>
Just today I found out Nicholos Kristof's article (from 3/16/07) which, I blogged about it several months ago, is missing from NYTimes page....I was outraged! Is New York Times protecting Obama?
In a free-ranging interview with the New York Times, Obama described the Muslim call to prayer as ‘one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.’ The Time's Nicholos Kristof wrote, Obama recited, ‘with a first-class [Arabic] accent,’ the opening lines of the Muslim call to prayer. "
Why Obama is trying so hard to hid his Muslim background..why can not he come clean???

by Anonymous on Thu Sep 11, 2008 10:39 AM PDTGreat site for new on Sarah Palin
Visit: //www.governorpalin.blogspot.com
As an Iranian woman and mom and business owner, how can not not for Sarah Palin. Women need representation in the White House, not a guy who is full of gaffe glore. There is even a blog dedicated to Obama's gaffes

You guys made fun of Bush, now you have someone worse than Bush to vote for.
Jahanshah Thank You for Sharing!
by Khar on Wed Sep 10, 2008 06:36 PM PDTWe the Iranian-Americans have been very active in presidential and other elections especially in the recent years but none more important than this year’s elections. There’s a lot on the line this year for us as a nation and as individuals. The choices are very clear; on one hand we have the same old tired and dangerous politics of the last eight years and on the other the progress and change which America really needs and can believe in. LET’S GET OUT AND VOTE, shall we!!!

by shirazie (not verified) on Wed Sep 10, 2008 04:04 PM PDTBoth countries are ran by group of Punks. Same clowns have been run this 6 mile wide strip since 1980's they change position every year. Perez, natny-Ass , 1/2 dead Sharon, etc.

by Shamshod (not verified) on Wed Sep 10, 2008 04:03 PM PDTAnd of course this DEMOCR"C"Y (whatever the hell that is in your definition) justifies every imaginable crime they've so far committed???
OR that they want to prevent others from having WMDs which they THEMSELVES have???
Such a clever man you are did you know that?

by answerman (not verified) on Wed Sep 10, 2008 02:31 PM PDTI tell you How! Because ISREAL IS A DEMOCRCY AND IRAN IS A DIDCTORSHIP!
Next question please!
Hypocrites
by Shamshod (not verified) on Wed Sep 10, 2008 06:50 AM PDTNo matter how good and sincere he is, he still seems a hypocrite to me.
Why?
How can you condemn the Iranian "terrorist" regime, its "crimes" and aspirations to obtain a nuclear weapon, and at the same time have an "unbreakable" and "unshakeable" bond with the despotic Israel which occupies a whole nation and possesses tens if not hundreds of such WMD's??
HOW?
Boo McCain. Boo Obama. Boo indeed.
