Why do our (U.S.) diplomats walk out each time Ahmadinejad speaks?

[Harmony Blue]

I disagree with a lot of what he says, but is that some form of protest?

[bainz]

1. Walking out is a form a protest IMO n/t

[Turbineguy]

2. Institutionalized

immaturity?

[Shagbark Hickory]

3. If he ever apologizes and agrees to change his ways, they're going to miss it.

[ChandlerJr]

4. Because they can't stand the truth about

the Holocaust and the Sept 11 attacks?

Ahmadinejad says: 'arrogant powers' threaten anyone who questions Holocaust, Sept 11 attacks with sanctions, military action - @Reuters

Imagine that.

[dionysus]

7. i'm-a-dinner-jacket knows the "real truth" about the holocaust? hoookay.

:eyes:

[ChandlerJr]

8. And 9-11

He's on the side of the "truthers". Why I'll bet he knows how the fake moon landing was pulled off too.

Why would they walk out indeed.

[Ruby the Liberal]

12. He has long claimed it a hoax

Said it never happened. Why David Duke is such a fan of the guy.

[dionysus]

19. i know, hence my sarcastic reply. i think the poster might have been sarcastic himself, i can't tell

[Ruby the Liberal]

11. Do what exactly is the "truth" about the holocaust, pray tell?

[Warren DeMontague]

14. You're kidding, right?

please tell me you're kidding.

The Iranian president, is a person who claim that Holocaust never happened.. It happened.. It defently happened and it is one reason for me, to not listen to the clown.. He is defently pundering to the ignorants, and the arab street when he is claiming that it never happened.. The evidence against it is overwelmning and he should at least be told, in the UN, that the evidences against his claim is overwelmning.. And that he should act acording to his age, and not play around like a 14 year old clown in opposition to his parents... If the Iranian President want to play as a grown up, then fine...

It is allways allowed to question the "truth" of Sept 11, even tho everyone can agree about what happened that day.. At least the big details around it all is more or less the same..

Un Fucking Believable.

21. I knew you were kind of "trolly" when I read some of your posts. But thanks for this. Really.nt

[Fresh_Start]

5. Because they aren't diplomats nt

nt

[Taverner]

6. AIPAC

[MountainLaurel]

9. Because he's not OUR despot n/t

[raccoon]

29. Amen. nt

[Maine_Nurse]

10. Because it would be bad form to kick his ass?nt

[Spider Jerusalem]

13. Because he doesn't deserve the courtesy of an audience

UK, France, and Germany also walked out. Canada and Israel didn't show up in the first place.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. because the crazy ranting dudes on the NY subway make more sense?

And don't spit as much when they pontificate?

[Cleita]

17. It's to show him disrespect.

I don't know if I agree with it. I think heads of state, no matter how evil, should be shown the respect of their office because we might like the same respect to be shown to our Presidents as well. But America is well known in the international community for having one set of rules for ourselves and another for everyone else in the world. It's why we aren't very well liked.

[bainz]

24. lol. Trying not to Godwin this thread.......n/t

[Cleita]

28. LULZ, Godwin again.

When you have nothing to say, bring in Godwin and accuse everyone of making Nazi references.

:rofl: :eyes:

30. +1000

[Papagoose]

20. The guy is garbage, but he is the President of a sovereign nation

Every time he opens his mouth, lies and hate spew forth, but still I don't think it's right to walk out of the UN when he speaks. In fact, it defies what the UN stands for in the first place.

[msongs]

22. because we are occuppying foreign countries and he is not, making us look bad? nt

[harun]

23. Because they are juvenile tantrum throwers.

[librechik]

25. Israel would spank them if they didn't. More important than real diplomacy.

[socialshockwave]

26. He's a scumbag. I wouldn't listen to him either. n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

27. Because we like acting like children.

[dipsydoodle]

31. Pig ignorance

[4_TN_TITANS]

32. I think it's immature...

They did it to Gaddafi too on his first trip to the UN in 40 years, and there was much he said that I couldn't disagree with.

[mmonk]

33. Because that is how we always behave in public.

We're bad asses (or so it goes).

[Horse with no Name]

34. The same reason that Washington is broken

our "leaders" lack civility and common grace.
