Sean Stone, the son of acclaimed film director Oliver Stone, has defended Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as "really misunderstood." In an interview with Bill O'Reilly on Fox News, Stone attempted to explain controversial comments that the Iranian president has made in the past about Israel and the Holocaust.

The director's son explained that when Ahmadinejad "says Israel should be dissolved," he is "talking about the West Bank. On Holocaust denial, Stone said that the Iranian president's point has always been that if it happened in Europe, "Why should it influence Israeli policy in regards to the Palestinians?"

Stone went on to tell O'Reilly that he had told the Iranians to "stop with this down with America nonsense," and claimed that they had understood his point of view.

This is a cautionary tale. Northern Europeans evolved in a cold climate where there were prolonged periods of freezing temperatures. Their central nervous system was simply not designed prolonged habitation in mild or warm climates. This is what happens when you breed in Southern California. The kid may look alright but after a while it is very apparent that not all systems function.

Hitler was "misunderstood", too, as many members of Europe's intelligentsia would have told you, circa 1938. And they would have thought you an ignoramus for disagreeing.

He converted to islam, so that helps explain his defense of Ahmadinejad.

Does anyone else find it funny that Ollie Stone’s son has converted to Islam under the name “Ali,” which is also pronounced “Ollie?” Hell, he could have picked Hussein, or Mo, or any of the other standards, but he picked Ollie, er, Ali.

In yer face, Dad!

Just goes to show you that it is possible to be brain dead but still offend society by continuing to suck air!

How can one person be so singlehandedly clueless and stupid? Really - how?

I’m sure now that Sean has told the Iranians to leave America alone that will be the end of any problems.

Uh, Mr. Stone. Isn’t Ahmadinejad muslim? If he is, then nothing you said matters to me. I know all I need to know about him.
