A top aide to Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi said U.S. intelligence made up the Holocaust in order to wreck Germany’s public image during World War II, according to various media reports.So what happened to the reported 6 million Jews who were killed by the Nazis? In a Fox News report, Fathi Shihab-Eddim, a senior aide to Mr. Morsi who’s authorized to appoint editors at the state-run newspapers, answered: They moved to the United States.

So this is who the liberal/progressive left upholds as moderate, and good for Egypt? Are you freaking kidding me? First he calls Israelis, and their allies descended from "Pig's and Apes", Now he denies the Holocaust?

Hey, you know who else denies the Holocaust? Aminajihad in Iran.
 
Top aide. Always separate the aides from the leader. Our Presidents have a variety of top aides, with a variety of views. That being said, his own prior statements do not help the case.

Well in a normal civil society, an aide would be fired for making such a statement. We'll see what disciplinary action, if any, is taken in this case.

True. Just like Jay Carney, Susan Rice, et al. Plausible deniability is essential, which is why our leaders have sock puppets to test the public acceptance of talking points.

Birds of a feather...
 
I can tolerate a racist or bigoted leader from a developing country if they remain committed to democracy and rule of law. Thus far Morsi has not done anything to upend the system, we should wait till then.

Decree yourself absolute power. Say it is for "stability." Force through an Islamist constitution that blatantly ignores protections for minority groups, who all resign from the drafting process.

From these origins, you are expecting free speech, religious tolerance, and economic freedom to flow forth?
 
Yea guys nuts... Is this guy Moris? No. Is there any identifiers that show Morsi backing these statements? No.

Is Morsi "moderate"? I dont think so. Seems to be following the line of Mubarak...

The decision to rule by decree to complete the Constitutional Convention was and remains deeply troubling. But the fact remains that the opposition remains vocal and able to organize, elections remain scheduled for next month, and the country hasn't collapsed or been overthrown yet. We haven't crossed that threshold and there is still reason to hope. Nations, especially nascent ones, have returned from worse tumult.

Yes. He didnt fire the ****ing idiot. Hes either stupid, incompetent, or ignorant of PR. None of which belong in a position of leadership associated with the current leader of any country. You dont fire him for the statement, you fire him because he was stupid enough to say it and mean it---embarassing his boss. As an aid, your primary job is to make your boss look good. This didnt quite make it.

I share no hope in a Muslim Brotherhood president, nor the people who elected a Muslim Brotherhood president.
 
I'm fairly certain I remember Morsi being quoted as saying he believed 9/11 was a CIA plot. To be honest I don't think it means that much - outrageous anti-western beliefs bordering on conspiracy theory like this are surprisingly common in many Muslim countries.

The country is deeply divided. The Muslim Brotherhood candidate was elected partly by default, partly because the MB already had a much larger, already functioning campaign machine that put them at a distinct advantage in the election. I think the ongoing unrest is indicative of limits to Morsi's support among the population.

So some one in Egypt that no one in the US has ever heard of says something stupid and your first thought is how to try and use it to bitch about liberals. Very revealing...

They are descended from apes. They really shouldn't take it personally though, that just means they're humans.

So lets see. In 2003, Bush said that the Iraq War would lead to democracy blossoming in the Middle East. Now it is, and Cons are in panic mode. Sounds about right.

Right, I'm sure he didn't mean it personally. :roll: How about the "pig" part? Can you, at least, see where that would be an insult, especially for those of the Jewish faith?

little point in playing PC police with the world
 
I really wish the media would stop its abuse of the term "holocaust". It's offensive and misplaced.

So, it's not the Morsi aid's fault for expressing the absolutely stupid, and inflammatory statement, but rather the media's fault for reporting it....Amazing logic you have there....

I agree, we should let them say what ever jaw droppingly stupid thing they wish, and report on every word of it. Then when it shocks the world put it on continuous loop along side of Obama, and leading demo's praising the Arab spring, and exclaiming to congress how the Muslim Brotherhood is a moderate, peaceful group.

I can see where it's an insult and I'n sure it was meant as such. They are descended from apes though.
