Hosting the Scum of the Earth » Ahmadinejad’s Entourage

The Rosett Report » Ahmadinejad’s Entourage
By Claudia Rosett On September 15, 2011

It’s become an annual guessing game, in the run up to the United Nations General Assembly opening debate each September: What antics will Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad engage in this time?

In years past, he has dined (if not wined) the media — sending out invitations on thick creamy stationery, and then, in his role as the smirking face of the Tehran regime, world’s leading sponsor ot terrorism, he has lectured his guests on Love and Justice. He has told Columbia University students there are no homosexuals in Iran (where the regime tries to bolster that lie by hanging them). He has felt himself surrounded by an apocalyptic green aura [1] while speaking at the UN podium. He has told his audience that most folks believe the U.S. government was behind the Sept. 11 attacks on America. He has shared a hush-hush meal with Louis Farrakhan [2] and the New Black Panthers.

And, while hosting a reception in New York in 2006, Ahmadinejad availed himself of his UN-sponsored access to New York to personally recruit for Iran the services of a software expert who was later caught and convicted in Philadelphia federal court of violating U.S. sanctions on Iran [3].
