Stupid Republicans. Suggesting Boris Johnson is Liberal Shows How Extreme They Are.

[TheBigotBasher]

The "Newsbusters" blog, a right wing equivalent of Media Matters suggest that Boris Johnson is a left winger suffering from "Obama Derangement Syndrome".

Their inbred looking reporter, Noel Sheppard, wrote, "Boris Johnson sung the new American president's praises in a fashion likely to upset many a stomach ".

This is because Boris Johnson, the Conservative Mayor of London who is not normally associated with left wing politics wrote this piece http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/borisjohnson/5599270/What-has-Ayatollah-Khamenei-of-Iran-got-against-little-old-Britain.html for the Telegraph, which concluded

"Obama's intelligent speech in Cairo has had a big impact in the Muslim world, and it is obvious that it is his presence in the White House – far more than any BBC broadcast – that is giving hope to the demonstrators in Tehran...

..But there is one thing we can say for certain: that in the 30 years since the fundamentalist revolution, this is the nearest the mullahs have come to feeling the anger of the people. This is the nearest Iran has come, in our lifetimes, to a true brush with democracy.

The key point is that I do not believe it could possibly have happened had John McCain been elected. Why? Because McCain entertained American journalists by singing, to a Beach Boys' tune: "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran." If you want a population to abandon a hardline leadership, you don't threaten them with nuclear war.

Barack Obama has shown the Iranian bourgeoisie that America is willing to engage, to treat their country with respect, and it is that sudden hope – of a new role and status for Iran – that is driving the protesters to see if they can be rid of their crazy regime.

Who knows whether they will succeed, but we can safely say that the BBC and Barack Obama have done more to change Iran than Fox News and George W Bush. "

Damned Commies they have in that there London.
