It’s Americas fault that they were convicted of crimes they
didn’t commit? And then to turn around and blame America
for what Iran did to them?
Looser liberal retards who have nothing to contribute to
the human gene pool. No wonder no one wanted to go in there
and get them. They weren’t worth it.
“but the hikers’ explicit political statements on Sunday as well as high profile left-wing political connections may make many wonder if their trip had less to do with sight-seeing and more to do with political activism overseas.”
Looks like Ahmadinejad knows a good jihadist when he sees
one. He knew they would do more damage to America here than
letting them rot in his prison.
I am a staunch supporter of Israel, and I have the cancelled checks to prove it, so what I am about to say IS NOT racist or anti-semitism. It is unblinking, hard-nosed realism!
From the moment the news broke that those 3 specimens had been arrested by Iran as spies, I felt they were either the most stupid, or the most outrageously arrogant I had ever seen. 3 Jews went hiking in IRAQ, on the border of IRAN, and feigned surprise and victimhood when they got into trouble?!
THEN they tried to sell the line that they were mistreated because they are Americans. NO, they are disliked in the Middle East because they are Americans. They are DESPISED in THAT neck of the woods because they are JEWS!
My opinion from the get-go was to let ‘em rot. All the million$ that have been BLOWN on those 3 spoiled little snots who from MY point of view were merely looking for 15 minutes of fame. And now that they’re free it looks like 2 of them are going to mate and REPRODUCE! IMHO, this will NOT do anything to improve the Hebrew genepool!
WTF????
They are giving UC Berkeley alumni a bad name.
These morons should go take a hike.
Silent scream here"...""""""""""""""""
A Little Background information on these ingrates:
(Posted earlier by Dallas59
___________________________________________________________
Shane Bauer. is a UC Berkeley grad who has written for the far-left The Nation and “reported” for the Terrorist News Network a/k/a Al-Jazeera.
He lives in the Muslim Mid-East, speaks Arabic and his Berkeley degree is in “Peace and Conflict Studies”–typical far-left degree for Jimmy Carter groupies.
He lives and is based in Damascus, Syria–a nation for whom he’s toed the party line. From his Damascus digs, he’s written articles for left-wing media outlets about how Muslims in Syria love Obama but need to see him change American foreign policy toward Israel and the Islamic world. Sound like an “innocent hiker” to you?
Joshua Fattal, also a Berkeley grad is an environmental activist who hosted a “resistance” radio show. Media reports say his father is Iraqi, and he said he was traveling there to get in touch with his roots.
He earned a degree in environmental economics and policy. He also taught high-school students in Berkeley and worked in New Hampshire.
> He most recently worked and lived at Aprovecho Research Center in Cottage Grove, Ore. The nonprofit facility is located on a 40-acre ranch and is focused on sustainable living skills, sustainable forestry and organic gardening, its Web site states.
At Aprovecho, Fattal held a position as internship coordinator. He was a graduate of the program himself and traveled to small towns in Oregon and Guatemala to implement some of the sustainable living ideas taught at the center . . . .
While Fattal was at Aprovecho, he co-hosted a weekly radio show, “Rhythms and Resistance,” on the center’s community station.
Sarah Shourd is an anti-Israel “journalist” who lives in the Middle East (probably in Damascus, Syria, from which she’s written some of her articles), writes sympathetic pieces about terrorist-host state Syria, attacking Israel, and taking her Syrian patrons’ false point of view that Israel’s Golan Heights is “occupied territory.”
She also writes about how Israel oppresses the Syrians. Hilarious. I mean, no biggie that Bashir Al-Assad cuts his people apart limb by limb, like his father did to journalist Salim Al-Lawzi, that Syria has an atrocious human rights record and tortures dissidents, let’s concentrate on blaming the Jews. That’s her strategy. Here’s a tip for Ms. Shourd: Israel annexed the Golan Heights years ago–you know, when Syria attacked Israel, went to war, and lost. Shourd lies and claims that Israel forced Syrian inhabitants of the Golan Heights to become Israeli citizens. Nauseatingly false. I have many Druze friends with family there. The Druze Arab inhabitants love the freedom they have as Israelis–of not having to worry if a conversation they have on the street will result in their limbs being amputated without anasthesia. The formely Syrian Druze of the Golan Heights rue the day when Syria gets it back (as Obama–and before him, Bush–have been pushing).
Shourd describes herself as a “ teacher-activist-writer from California currently based in the Middle East.” Well, we know for whom she’s an activist and writer–the Iranians-sponsored Syrians and other Islamic terrorists. I’m just worried about whom she is teaching.
Their choices are limited. Mo, Larry, and Curly are dead.
Those three were never innocent hikers. They were peace activists that were trying to infiltrate Iran to support internal revolution. They may or may not have been under Hillary’s control for the Arab spring. I don’t think anyone with two brain cells to rub together actually believes those three were hiking in the middle of a war zone.
I would guess these morons are typical of most libs who graduate from college today. You could hardly find anything more stupid to do than hike along the Iraqi-Iran border and expect nothing bad to happen to you. You can inoculate people against physical diseases, but unfortunately you can’t inoculate someone from the mental disease of leftism.
The same Sean Penn who purportedly accomplished what Presidente Obama and Madame Hillary Clintoon were unable to do despite their lofty positions in the world hierarchy?
We are watching a three-ring circus playing out on the world stage with Obama and his administration's appointees and hirees as the pathetic troupe of clowns somersaulting around while playing their roles as our governors.

On the bright side, at least they are`nt drooling all over obama for rescuing them. Because they are`nt, maybe obama now wishes the ingrates were never let go.
