thinkprogress.org: The Daily Caller editor in chief Tucker Carlson faced an onslaught of criticism yesterday for telling Fox News “Red Eye” viewers that “Iran deserves to be annihilated.” Carlson’s comments, first reported on ThinkProgress, led The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg to observe, “This is the sort of rhetoric that leads to war. I have no doubt this clip will be played over and over again in Tehran by a regime eager to prove that America wants to — to borrow a phrase — wipe Iran off the map.”

An idiot by the name of Tucker Carlson. Joe L.'s concern
by Siavash300 on Sat Mar 03, 2012 02:12 PM PSTWhat this idiot is trying to say is "ruling mullahs in iran" should be annihilated. But this idiot didn't even bother to watch the news in 2009 when over 2 million Iranian were on streets of Tehran against mullahs.
Dear Joe,
Target after Syria would be Iran. That is true but I wanted to clarify something for you. The plan of overthrowing mullahs is not because U.S or CIA or MI6 want it. No. it is because sharia law originated 1400 years ago in Arabian Peninsula could not satisfy Iranian needs, so it has to go. That is determination of history.
The crimes committed by those monsters for over 32 years dig their own graves, Not U.S wishes. The blood of our brothers and sisters on the hands of Islamic criminals push mullahs to fall. Not because some jack a** sitting in washington and decided what to do to other nations. Their anti human nature of Islamic law wipe them out, not U.S desire.
Modern and civilized world never like barbaric sharia law since these monsters took power in Iran in 1979, but U.S couldn't do anything back then. Even though hostages were captivated for 444 days U.S couldn't do anything. Do you know why ?
because millions of Iranian were mistakenly supporting the monsters. Now, after all these years and all those crimes Ayatollahs committed they lost their legitimacy. The whole world including U.S knows that. What remains is a bunch of rag head criminals with guns in their hands who has no support among Iranian people, so the plan is to send them all to the helll after Syria.
Is that news for you? I personally could see it when Islamic bastards started to attack women on streets of Tehran for Bad Hejab reason back in 80's. I could see sooner or late they have to confront with civilized and modern world. Now that day is coming. Their final days are coming soon.
GOAL: RESTORING MONARCHY
Iranian crazies..
by Alidad on Sat Mar 03, 2012 11:06 AM PSTIt looks like some Iranians are OK with bombing Iran and with thousands of OTHER Iranians dying - especially the idiot who wrote about the "free world" having "no choice." I imagine their brains may have rotted for having lived in the USA too many years in the company of illiterate Americans, idiots and Jews. Bombing is not really constructive, to say the least. They should have done something more intelligent years before, instead of trying to intermittently cosy up to the regime. Now what - destroy Iran so a gang of Jews can live in peace? Israelis are a shameless lot.
2050: broken record
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Sat Mar 03, 2012 01:47 AM PSTIt is 2050 again using a totally unrelated forum to jab at Iran. Sir or Mam: you have a chip on your shoulders about "Persian". That is your problem not ours. Iranians are not responsible for your hatred of all that is Kiaani.
The problem in Iran right now is ISLAM. Not "Persian" or "Zoroastrian". You are trying to make excuses for Islam by attacking the core of Iranian nation. It will not work because nobody is buying your stuff. People have eyes to see what is going on.
You got nerve blaming Zoroastrians and it shows your deep bigotry. You hate Iranians and want them to be destroyed and replaced by "Muslims". Well it ain't going to happen. More Iranians are going back to Kiaani while rejecting Islam.
What needs to be eliminated
by Iran 2050 on Fri Mar 02, 2012 07:55 AM PSTWhat needs to be eliminated in Iran are the following:
Racism, belittling of other nations and people, dishonesty, thug mentality, imperialistic tendencies among people, living in history, disrespect for other races and religions other than “Fars” and “Arya” and “Zoroastrianism”, undemocratic tendencies among people and the notion that everything about Iran is “perfect”!
We eliminate those and we’ll be in good shape. There is no need for Iran or its people to be “wiped off”. No nation or people should be “wiped off”. Wipe off the bad things in you and your society will become prosperous.
If we were anyone else, anyone else..
by Sadegh Bozorgmehr on Tue Feb 28, 2012 04:00 AM PSTNo one would be able to get away with a horrendous statement like that if that country wasn't Iran.
Instead of doing something about it, our resident "Shah-parastan" welcome it.
Look at some of the comments saying hundreds of thousands of Iranians should die.
You call yourselves Iranian?

Monarchy is a joke among Iranians not because it's a bad system, but because of these clowns who support it. You rubes are why IRI is still in power.
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!
by Anonymous Observer on Mon Feb 27, 2012 02:06 PM PST32 years of "Death to America," calls for America's destruction, support of terrorist groups against the U.S., and ONE political pundit returns the favor by saying essentially the same thing that millions of Iranians have been saying about the U.S. for the past 32 years at every possible occasion, such as Friday prayers, every morning in school, at demonstrations, etc., and you hypocrites are all up in arms about it?!!!!
You know what Michael Jackson said once in a song, right? Look at the "man in the mirror" first before you blame others:

Re: SOME people in Iran deserve it
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Mon Feb 27, 2012 05:41 AM PSTDingo: Are you saying they deserve to be "Annihilated" or have Iran be annihilated. Who is going to be the judge and who will carry this out. What is worse than an ignorant American redneck is an ignorant Iranian wannabe redneck.
When the IRI is gone there should be fair and open trials for IRI criminals. No railroading of people or lynch mobs. No raping or sodomizing as was done by Ghaddafi. Iran will only recover from this hell if people act human. We are not wild dogs to tear each other. How do people talk about over 2500 years of culture then demand murder. No execution; no stoning or murder.

By the way, when Tucker Carlson was in high school, he enjoyed being sodomized by older men in public restrooms!!!

SOME people in Iran deserve it
by dingo daddy En passant on Sat Feb 25, 2012 04:51 PM PSTThat is the truth of the matter.
Dear Joe L. you make some valid points
by Abarmard on Fri Feb 24, 2012 12:59 PM PSTI believe most Iranians already know what you have posted. Don't box us all in to one category. There are things that are under our control and things that are beyond our area of influence.
We should definitely be aware of the bigger picture and I agree. I support Syrian uprising but do not support any sort of arm conflict in Syria or anywhere else. That's a recipe for disaster.
Thankfully after the 79 revolution, Iranians are a bit smarter and more aware than before so I am hopeful that we will not be played with. Many Iranians and organizations such as NIAC has already seen the boy with the hose :)
Happy Friday.
Last thing about this
by Joe L. on Fri Feb 24, 2012 12:30 PM PSTWe have started in Syria and thanks to our media, majority of people support the rebels.
Here is the bottom line (Forget right or wrong, good or bad, it's politics 101, about power and money)
if rebels are able to weaken Syria (media calls Syria Assad now, and rebels Syrians) then Iran is out.
The plan is to wipe Iran off the map. Saudi and Israel want to take control of the region. Your freedom, country, mullahs, government, and whatever else is bullshit. Means nothing.
the plan is to bomb Iran so Iran gets decades behind. that should be enough time for Israel and Saudis to get a head start in dominating the region.
After Syria is Iran. Anyone with a bit of brain that is Iranian should want Iran and Syria to come a head so the plan fails. Otherwise those who support anti Iranian, anti-Syrian (please spare me with your Iran is not IR crap, I am talking politics here) are actually digging their own graves. Or I should say their own nation's grave.
There are absolutely no documents that say anything about bombing Iran for a regime change. It's about bombing Iran to Stone Age.
You want to be naive and gullible? Your choice. i just spelled it out for you, if you haven't gotten it by now.
most of you are thinking of fighting against your queen in your ant farm(country) while there is a guy comming with a water hose and you all will be gone soon.
Funny culture.
Hey where is my comment JJ?
by long live Iran on Fri Feb 24, 2012 12:11 PM PSTNone can do anything against IRAN. Not even this stupid guy.
Long Live IRAN for EVER.

Watching the interview...
by Bavafa on Fri Feb 24, 2012 08:19 AM PSTNot much of a surprise, conidering the facts that Giuliani has campaigned so hard for MEK and has presented them as a democratic opposition group, one can hardly expect anything else from this Moran.
Tucker, Giuliani, Beck, etc... They all are part of the same circus, to fool people for a quick buck for themselves and push the agenda of their bosses.
And as for Arash Kamanigir, nothing can be said that he has not already said about himself.

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Fri Feb 24, 2012 07:59 AM PSTis a right wing blowhard with no knowledge of international policies. He managed to grab some attention in 911 by being in the right place. Most people second guessing Obama are doing do score political points.
Those who know what is going on realize Obama has done more than anyone. In just about three years he removed OBL; restructured the USA troops. And put more sanctions on IR than all the presidents before him for 33 years.
It is simple to sit on the sides and be an "expert" when you risk nothing. It is another story to be the President and in a position of responsibility. If Guiliani is wrong nothing happens; but if it is the President it is another matter.
Making a parking lot out of Iran is gaining popularity
by Joe L. on Fri Feb 24, 2012 07:31 AM PSTwhen you got people spittin upward to make iran look uncivilized and fanatic then you can sure expect some Iranian a$$ whooping from the western world. didn't see that coming ha? well welcome to reality brought to you by military complex.
for sure i know much more about iran today than most of iranians here. go visit and learn something.
and Simorgh555, you go live in Israel if you like it so much. most of the US problems are from people like you. freaking politicians who work for foreign land instead of America. you and your people are insane but we'll get our country back.

Arash final response
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Fri Feb 24, 2012 06:04 AM PSTI do't know why you on about "annihilation" of Iran!!
I give up! You are not going to give me a response are you? Thinking about it I think I got my response.
I have yet to figure out
by Soosan Khanoom on Fri Feb 24, 2012 05:59 AM PSTwhose inner voice Arash is channeling?
any idea?
anyone?
lol
He was just channeling his inner George Bush
by Soosan Khanoom on Fri Feb 24, 2012 05:56 AM PSTCARLSON: I think we are the only country with the moral authority [...] sufficient to do that. [The U.S. is] the only country that doesn’t seek hegemony in the world. I do think, I’m sure I’m the lone voice in saying this, that Iran deserves to be annihilated. I think they’re lunatics. I think they’re evil.
UPdate
Tucker Carlson emails Glenn Greenwald:
It’s my fault that I got tongue tied and didn’t explain myself well last night. I’m actually on the opposite side on the Iran question from many people I otherwise agree with. I think attacking could be a disaster for the US and am worried that Obama will do it, for fear of seeming weak before an election. Of course the Iranian government is awful and deserves to be crushed. But I’m not persuaded we or Israel could do it in a way that doesn’t cause even greater problems. That’s the main lesson of Iraq it seems to me.
That’s my sincere view, but I’d rather take some lumps and be misunderstood than seem like I’m reversing myself due to pressure from Twitter.

by Arash Kamangir on Fri Feb 24, 2012 05:44 AM PSTI do't know why you on about "annihilation" of Iran!!
If we can get rid of mullahs loosing several hundred thousands people it would be still worth it! Ridding of a mullah tyranny won't come cheap! Germans had to loose 4.5 million people to get rid of Hitler!
Arash
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Fri Feb 24, 2012 05:25 AM PSTGet to the point sir. Do you approve of "annhialating" Iran or not? This is a simple question. From your previous posts it sounds like you are advocating it. Do you want to retract it or do you stand by this.
Regarding the "price". It is very simple to talk about price when you don't pay it. Why don't you show by example your willingness to pay a price. You sit in your nice and safe place in West and prescribe genocide of nations. Shame on you.
Regarding my position. I have nothing to hide and will openly state my position. I do not approve of annihilating Iran or any nation. Now you see there is nothing hard about giving people a nice straight response.
veiled prophet of khorasan
by Arash Kamangir on Fri Feb 24, 2012 04:46 AM PSTI agree with you that IR lacks the power now but after having the bomb things will change. No country in this world wants to see a bunch of endtimes fanatics run around with a nuclear bombs in their pockets threatening the rest of the world. Liberty won't come cheap and bloodless.
Arash
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Fri Feb 24, 2012 04:31 AM PSTSeparation of people and regime is an impossible task.
Maybe for you. Not for me and are you then approving of "Annihilation of Iran".
whole country will pay just like Germany and Japan did.
You do not see the difference of Germany and Japan and Iran. Well let me spell it out for you.
You sound like the standard Fox headline which may work for the ignorant. But it does not work for people who know what is going on.
I hereby reject and condemn you and all who support genocide.
IR is self to blame!
by Arash Kamangir on Fri Feb 24, 2012 04:16 AM PSTvieled prophet of khorasan: Separation of people and regime is an impossible task. Germany had to pay heavily because of one man's act (hitler). If the free world decides to stand militarily against Iran, whole country will pay just like Germany and Japan did. In this only IR is to blame!!
Arash genocide apologist
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Fri Feb 24, 2012 03:57 AM PSTDon't you dare apologize and make excuses for genocide. TC did not say eliminate IR he said eliminate Iran.
Simorgh: I don't know who you are talking about. But people here are rightfully bashing TC.
RB: The difference is that IR is known to be a regime of nuts. America is supposed to be reasonable but right wing is obviously as nuts as IR.
I concur with the general responses
by Reality-Bites on Fri Feb 24, 2012 03:49 AM PSTThis man, along with many other very right-wing/conservative commentators, is clearly a bigoted and uninformed imbecile.
Sadly, we have plenty of them in Iran too. Those who not only take part in their weekly ritual of "death to this country" and "death to that" but also call for other countries to be wiped off/vanish from the map etc.
Bottomline, the world is full of ignorant and intolerant individuals.
