CBS: Iran ‘Chants Death to America, But More Habit Than Conviction’

On CBS This Morning: Saturday, reporter Elizabeth Palmer did her best to channel the sentiments of Iran following the preliminary nuclear agreement between them and the United States. The CBS reporter proclaimed that “at Friday prayers there was the usual chant of death to America, but more habit than conviction.

Palmer began her report by touting Iranian support for the nuclear deal as being “all about ending its isolation. After marathon negotiations, Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif arrived home a hero especially among the young who hope the new deal will bring their country in from the cold.”

The CBS reporter went on to tout the Iranian leadership's overwhelming support for the deal:

At Friday prayers there was the usual chant of death to America, but more habit than conviction. The sermon by senior Ayatollah Kashani [sic] made it clear Iran's leaders support this deal. “I congratulate those who lead the talks” he said. “Great job.” For the Iranians, the talks in Lausanne were not so much about nuclear weapons. Iran says it never wanted them in the first place, but about economics.

Palmer offered little skepticism as she played up how Iran will receive economic relief and noted that “that's why a deal, even a preliminary one, kicked off such a celebration. “I think the economic pressure that people have endured” said David Gafari [sic] “will ease now.”

The CBS reporter did play a clip of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemning the deal with Iran but Palmer concluded by claiming that Republicans in Congress, not Iran potentially cheating on the nuclear deal, could be biggest hurdle of all:

Ah, the conviction defense. Why didn’t Rush think of that when he call Fluke a slut?

I wonder what people’s reactions would be if some “news” outfit offered similar excuses for the KKK:

“...at Saturday’s cross burning, there was the usual chant of death to n-——s, but more habit than conviction.”

So then, all the WHITE people who use the “N” word, out of HABIT, more than conviction... now get a pass as well???

These people have brains like 4 year olds. And I bet the 4 year olds were glad to get rid of them.

...unless, of course there’s a Republican in the White House, and then it’s a dire and breathless report on why they hate us, complete with auditions by Arabs on the street shouting their hatred for said Republican president. But since we’re talking about lord Obama, who also has CBS staff family working for him, this pleasant analysis will do.

Funny, in all 7 years of Obama I have never seen video of Arabs burning Obama or other officials in effigy. We saw it all the time with Bush and Reagan. Now, why do you suppose that is? I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

Never before has a country repeatedly declared its goal was “death to America,” taken clear actions to achieve that aim, and
suffered no serious consequences for its actions. The reason for this is Iran’s diplomatic brilliance. They have conditioned
successive administrations as easily as Pavlov: They hint at diplomacy, and get a free pass for abusing and murdering Americans.

“at Friday prayers there was the usual chant of death to America, but more habit than conviction.

They say this more than they say it about Israel. I'd pay attention to that if I were in Washington.
The Bible says WWIII, or Armageddon, will start when "the Restrainer" is taken out of the way. Who has restrained the world and kept the peace since WWII? Think about that.

AND, BTW, to add to the dismay, the military is being sent around the country to "train" for something. If America is secure as the democrats claim, then why the massive movements?
Are the democrats praying for that EMP to hit while their pro-Iraninan, pro- nukes president is in charge? ("Never waste a good crises!").
Or Has oboma single handily finished the job his muslim brothers failed to do on 9/11? Has he destroyed our economy? Our military? And our Republic? Yeah, he has.Maybe they're preparing for the collapse. A lot of EBT people are going to get mighty hungry when their cards don't show up in the mail.

Death to America.

Kill the Jews.

Death to Israel.

I guess I just don't get the nuances.

Remember the good old days when “Death to America” actually meant something?? These days, these kids mouth the words and then go back to their Twitter and Snap Chat and Nike Lebron James Zooms and have no respect for the old revolutionaries who put meaning into the “Death to America” chants!
