[lbo-talk] Ahmadinejad as "die Sonne"

[Yoshie Furuhashi]

I was looking for videos of Ahmadinejad.  I wanted to hear what he
sounds like.  There are a couple of good ones which have him looking
amiable and saying what he ought to be saying:
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ8pkIRwws8&search=ahmadinejad>
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_Bs-cf1avk&search=ahmadinejad>

Then, I also found this one, "A music video made for President
Ahmadinejad of Iran":
<http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4567204398657469621&q=ahmadinejad&pl=true>
The person who posted this video claims: "The video is not made by
myself, I have no idea who the author is."  That's a lie . . . or
evidence of profound political cluelessness.  The video is clearly
made by Neo-Nazis trying to appropriate Ahmadinejad and the oppression
of Palestinians for their despicable cause.  Why do I know this?  The
video ends with a sequence that represents white Holocaust deniers --
Verbeke, Irving, Graf, Zundel, Rudolf -- as martyrs and cuts to a logo
of the Star of David with a legend: "Israel: Built on a Lie."

The video is set to Rammstein's "Sonne," and it cuts between scenes of
Israeli oppressions of Palestinians, photographs and video clips of
Ahmadinejad, and photos and video clips from mass electoral rallies
for Ahmadinejad in Iran.  It's edited to synchronize images of
Ahmadinejad with the song's chorus:
"Hier kommt die Sonne
Hier kommt die Sonne
Sie ist der hellste Stern von allen
Hier kommt die Sonne"
[Here comes the Sun
Here comes the Sun
You are the brightest star of all
Here comes the Sun].

This really drives me up the wall!  Fidel, you ought to have that talk
with Ahmadinejad ASAP and bring the man to senses!
