Here are some classic examples of Fred's unprovoked and hateful rants, defaming all those who happen to disagree with him (though he never reveals what his own position clearly is, because he has never submitted either an article or blog entry in which he expounds his own views) as "anti-Semites" and "Islamists", whether they're atheists, liberals, libertarians, Marxists, royalists, republicans or conservatives. It's all the same to him. Dare to disagree with Fred and you're a "Jew hating Islamist"...Firstly, be sure to note the paucity of ARGUMENTS and that NEXT TO NO FACTS ARE CITED. Second, note that his attacks are unprovoked. Third, that the twin epithets of 'Islamist' or 'anti-Semite' (or variants thereof) are invariably thrown at any opponent who stands in his 'righteous' path. I am not saying that Fred is not entitled to conduct himself in this manner, he most certainly is, but it should be exposed for the libelous, factually baseless slandering it is...
Fred: "Engaging the Lefty-Anti-Semites, the strategic allies of the Islamists, in even a halfhearted discussion only legitimizes their warped worldview. Just like one does not give heroin to an addict, this mind set needs to be challenged on each and every one of their ad nauseam allegations. The burden of proof is on them not the other way around."

Fred: "Jew hating Islamists get over excited over a likeminded bigoted caller’s comment and in their hallucination hear that which justifies their aberrant and abhorrent world view."

Fred: "Even the Berkley based Khatamites, the Lefty-Islamist Anti-Semites and regime’s conjoined twins lobbies don’t leap from the conjecture of the “polarized government” to a “democratic” Islamist Republic."
http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2008/06/10/and-now-whose-foreign-policy-naive [3]
Fred: "Does the murderous Islamist Republic qualify for your definition of “Middle East tyrants” or exposing criminal and hypocrisy has ideological barriers."
http://www.iranian.com/main/2008/moral-advice-criminal?page=2 [4]
Fred: "The Edward Said wannabes of this world should heed their own pedestrian sermons on streamlining and for Stalin’s sake stop dragging the frail grannies into everything."

Fred: "Since the Islamist capo is apparently over educated on the terminologies of Judaism, the question is still pending his educated response. Is the alleged spy just a “Jew” or for his alleged spying for Islamist Republic he is let off the “Zionist” label by the Islamists? And a new question for the erudite Islamist professor would be to expand on his “Moslem Zionist” revelation."

Fred: "Since NIAC and its head have jointly commenced a defamation lawsuit against an Iranian opposition figure who claims they are Islamist Republic lobbyist, the recent surge of publicities proclaiming their goodness remains to be proven in a court of law post trial that they have initiated."

Fred: "A word of caution, belated as is, should have been included in this nice short write up to the useful idiot lefties too . Should the dreaded despicable military option become a reality they along with the "reformist" Islamists are as culpable as the loony right. For the ill timed and placed anti-imperialism of the lefties’ and their "reformist" Islamist ally in the form of incessant whitewashing of the Islamists’ crimes under the cover of anti-war has further emboldened and extended the longevity of the murderous Islamist Republic."

Fred: "Reasoning with the foaming at the mouth Islamists is akin to expecting lifelong moral harlots to be virtuous. whenever their concocted worldview is challenged by indisputable hard facts, not only they don’t get it, their ever present hostility peaks."

Fred: "True to form, this is yet another exercise by an enamored in patch quilying together contradictory statments in support of the Islamist Republic"
http://www.iranian.com/main/2008/force-feeding-freedom [10]
Fred: "Only if a conversion from an Anti-Semitic, Islamist Iranian, lefty Edward Said wannabe to a secular liberal like Mossadegh was as simple as displaying an appropriate avatar then Soroush, Dabashi and alike could go through the metamorphosis too."
http://www.iranian.com/main/2008/will-us-attack-iran [11]
Fred: "Under the pretext of being “peace activists" the conjoined twins Islamist lobbies, the useful lefty idiots and the regular vanilla flavored Islamist Anti-Semites keep whitewashing the Islamist regime’s crimes. The problem is their emperor wears no clothes and the object of their “peace activity” is a well documented bar none wholesale human rights violator at home and an aggressor abroad."
http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2008/06/17/how-silence-iran-war-drumbeat#new [12]
Fred: "The Lefty/anti-Semites the strategic allies of the Islamists and the Islamist regime apologist’s dogged whitewashing of the Islamist regime’s crimes is the grease for the war machine. If such war breaks out they are the facilitators of such monumental tragedy."

This is only a short masterclass in how to brand your opponents 'anti-Semites' and 'fanatical Islamists' without providing any counterarguments or facts to support your own position. In fact, Fred admits himself that he has no need to do so.
Fred: "The Islamists' pro bono defender of this cyber world should know; when one faces malarkey one does the befitting thing. Not all hogwash even the one with extensive citations deserve a counter argument. That is the game Islamist Republic and its offspring play, like their president denies the Holocaust and demands counter argument. BTW constant repackaging dated off-the-shelf lefty stock sentences along with citation also deserve the same treatment."

Fred has mastered the art of propaganda and slander, and it's important to familiarize ourselves with it, so that we can identify such scandalous duplicity when it confronts us in our day to day lives, whether under the 'mind-forged manacles' as William Blake might say of the IRI or the neoconservative delusions of grandeur which pervade the Bush administration's line on the Iraq War and Iran's nuclear program.
