If you mean hating us, then every liberal loves Iran for that very same reason.
Why is it news?

“If you mean hating us, then every liberal loves Iran for that very same reason.”
Yeah, guess lib’s love Iranians for be-headings, putting people in cages and drowning them or setting them on fire, burying women up to their necks then stoning them till dead, tossing gays off tall buildings to see if they can fly. On and on. Yes indeedie, really gotta love these people.
