feh... so what, Khamenei still runs the show, he's simply the front man“Wins”? He was placed there, just like Obama, it’s all Orwellian. Why is the media acting stupid?
Moderate maybe compared to “Supreme Leader” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei?
That and a nickle buys a nice hot cup of JACK SQUAT!
Khameini is the absolute ruler, elections are a “dog and pony show.”
Mohammed’s Dictionary defines “moderate” as “only 95% certifiably insane”
Sure, he’s “moderate.” I can see it. He prefers to use a sharp sword when beheading infidels.
it should serve as wake-up call for Mr. Khamenei and his circle of conservative advisers that their hard-line policies ranging from the standoff over the nuclear issue to the dire state of the economy have been rejected by the majority of the population.
As our esteemed X SOS once said,
“At this point what difference does it make?”
The “majority” of the Pop don’t mean diddly to Khamenei
and his ilk.
That’s like saying Trotsky was a moderate communist.
I’m really sick and tired of the left-wing media calling fanatical Muslim terrorists “conservative.” There’s nothing conservative about it.
Funny that the terrorists always seem to be holding hands with the leftists, if they would just bother to look.
Because Muslims and Communists agree on at least two issues: all power to the state, its rulers and propagandists, and no freedom for the little guys.
Don't fully dismiss the youth leading the way for a change in attitude in Iran, at least incrementally.
Does this mean that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is out?
feh... so what, Khamenei still runs the show, he's simply the front manIsn't a moderate muslim one who wants only to cut your head half off?

They allowed the Reformist to win so they could allow the Green movement to vent off agitation since the last election.
I guarantee you in a year or so they’ll start to crack down on Reformists once they’ve calmed down and are out in the open again.
If you read Green Movement tweets, some of the wiser Iranians are well aware of this cynical ploy.
In the good old days of Soviet Communism they used to talk about the “moderate” ones.
“Moderate” is a MSM joke expression.
“Moderate” in Iranian terms means nothing since the mullahs ultimately control the country, they even decided who was allowed to be a candidate in this election.
While it may be true that there were significant differences between the 12th Imam crowd of the outgoing "Aminijahad" and the big cheese head mullah, the latter accusing the former of witchcraft, etc. -- the idea that this isn't designed to divert the West from Iran's nuclear ambitions can't be ignored.
The proxy war between the Saudis and Iranian continues to heat up, with the anxious help of the present administration, and we could be slouching into a world war.
Anyone for a betting pool on the first asshat in the Legacy Media to mention an "Iranian Spring?"
Pretty much what I thought only said nicer.
A “moderate?” woo-hoo!
Now he will stop the centrifuges, stop aiding Hezbollah, stop aiding Assad, stop saying idiotic things about Israel, begin talks with Israel, stop harassing Gulf shipping, disband the Revolutionary Guards,
mm-hmmm.
Yep
Sorry, but I love the fact he got his degrees from Glasgow Caledonian University. The whole world values a fine Scottish education.
A “moderate” Jihadist
haha, what a joke
Those Iranian moderates are such gentle souls. ;-)
