These people are obviously mentally disturbed and the people who stirred up this tempest by interjecting this ridiculous load of crap into the political discourse and have perpetuated are traitors and should be imprisoned.

Here is a bit of info from an article in The Times that she could easily have found herself if her purpose were to inform her audience about the Iranian elections, but it wasn't... it was to take a shot at 'neo-cons'. I personally don't care about neo-cons, but I do care about the Iranian elections. For people who are actually interested here some info about Rachel's 'reformist' candidate: He was a key actor in a number of hard-liner actions throughout his career. Mr Mousavi was prime minister from 1981 to 1989. He steered his country's economy through the Iran-Iraq war but was a zealous revolutionary who brooked little dissent and has been accused of being behind the massacre of political prisoners. "He says he wants to save Iran from the "danger" of Mr Ahmadinejad, but he is hardly a reformist." ... His candidacy had to be approved by the Guardian Council, a body of senior clerics not known for its liberalism. Hardly, sounds like someone who we could talk with anymore easily than the current Iranian President. By the way, Mr Mousavi has already announced that he will not halt Iran's nuclear programmes. Please Rachel, stop with the rants and just give us the news. You and the people at Fox (yes, to my mind, you're the same) are the reason I only watch PBS or listen to NPR now. They talk news and issues, not opinions and emotions. If I want propaganda, I'll move to Iran. If Rachel believes that Moussavi is a ‘reformer’ then she needs to go back to Journalism 101 and learn how to do research.
