PBS is reporting (via Jim Hoft ) that a high-level Iranian official who comes from one of the most prominent and powerful families in Iran, used the "N" word to describe our president:
Mohammad Javad Larijani criticized the policies adopted by U.S. President Barack Obama and referred to him using a racial epithet. "When Barack Obama was sworn into office he talked of verbally engaging Iran," the U.C. Berkeley graduate was quoted as saying. "What has changed is that today this [the equivalent of the N-word in Farsi] talks of regime change in Iran."
In a Saturday meeting at the Islamic Engineers Society, Larijani said, "I am not a racist, but I must respond to this man [Obama] in some way."
Larijani's brother, Ali, is the speaker of Majles (Parliament). Another brother, Sadegh, is head of the judiciary.
Ali Larijani was the top Iranian nuclear negotiator with the west until he resigned a couple of years ago. He is now Speaker of the Majlis and one of two personal representatives of Khamenei to the legislative body. His brother Javad is also a high level advisor to Khamenei and a big shot in the Iranian nuclear program.
No doubt Iranian apologists will say that this kind of the thing is aimed at the Iranian people and should be ignored. But if anyone wants any evidence of exactly how the clerical elite views our president, this is a pretty good indication that they have no respect and nothing but contempt for Obama.

Dear Iran,
We the American people take great offense at your calling
our President a Farsi “N”.
He is an American at least as far as we can tell,
so DO NOT call him foreign names as all you will do
is piss us off and we are already pissed off almost
enough to take your trash out, we still owe you a little
something over our embassy you over ran.
Keep pushing and you’ll get what you deserve.
Signed.
America.
Yes - "the same anger that swept me into office elected Scott Brown" and is responsible for this poor man's losing it. The frustrations created by Bush are just too much to be contained.
A ni**er in Farsi, I would gather, doesn’t mean any old black person. It means a low down, conniving, contemptible skunk who also just so happens to be black.
You can call me a Redneck all you like as long as you call me to supper.
"The Sheriff is near!"
Oh? Wouldn’t the word be OK for a Kenyan impostor?
narcissist?
I know it's a quaint anachronism these days, but I much prefer being called "honky".
Ellielitist nonscence. The Word That Must Not Be Named has no equivalent in any language other than American.
I dont think he is an American. I yet seen him prove this at all. When and if he ever does, I would take such offense.
As far as them insulted the office of the President of the United States, Obama does that on a daily basis, but the Iranian government are a bunch of windbags that will eventually get what is coming to them from Israel.
That movie is beyond brilliant. If I quoted some of the classic lines from it, I would most assuredly be banned from FR!
And a well spoken and clean N-word too Achmed.....
There is that one name though that lucky for the blacks they have learned not to call whites.
Well, I don’t think it’s polite for anyone to use it as an insult, but in a descriptive way, “So-and-so called the-other-guy a ‘nigger’,” then I think it’s truly deranged to be saying “n-word.” Yes, it’s an offensive term, but the person describing the use isn’t offending, it’s the person addressing someone else by the term.
Golly gee! He graduated from UC Berkeley and went back to Iran to stab us in the back! I am SOOOO surprised!
Yeah, but did he call him a light-skinned N-word?
No, that’s not it. They have a word, it just means black, that they use like Jews use “schvartze”.
"The president is near!"
