Sean Stone, son of Oliver, seems like a chip off the old block.
Fresh off the plane from Tehran, the famous filmmaker's son defended Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in an interview this weekend and supported Irans right to a nuclear program as a defense against threats from Israel.
The 26-year-old is a documentary filmmaker met exclusively with TheWrap at the Toronto Film Festival, offering some unconventional views.
Criticizing the Iranian government is like someone coming to your house and saying the father shouldnt hit the kids, he said. Who are we to tell them how to rule their country?
Iran is ruled by law, he said. People dont like Ahmadinejad, but that doesnt warrant a war or an uprising.

Not sure if Sean or his dad are Jewish.
But, I know in 2007, Oliver Stone wanted to make a movie about Ahmadinejad. Oliver even asked Ahmadinejad for permission to do so - as was reported at the time.
Ahmadinejad’s “advisors” were reportedly negotiating financial details, and, at the end, they refused to let “Olive” go ahead.
No doubt it would’ve been BAD PR for an Islamic regime in Iran, whose ideals since 1979 has been based on being anti-western. And, one which publicly thrives on being anti-America.
odds, I was wrong ... per wiki ... Stone was raised in the Episcopal Church, but has since converted to Buddhism.
Liberalism - it’s a mental illness
no country controlled by the death cult of islam can EVER be allowed to have nuclear weapons.
And he's a Ron Paul supporter.
Interesting read. I shared with some friends.
Are you serious that he is converting to Islam?
...am as a defense against threats from Israel... Criticizing the Iranian government is "like someone coming to your house and saying the father shouldn't hit the kids," he said... "Iran is ruled by law," he said. "People donât like Ahmadinejad, but that doesnât warrant a war or an uprising."Can't tell 'em to not hit the kids, or bury women up to the waist and stone them to death, employ "Palestinians" as brute squads...
Hi, Lazamataz.
He may not be interested in women.
This kid is perfect. A perfect idiot. Here’s hoping that they stop short of actually beheading him so that he may see the truth rather than just dying for his idiocy.
Get a clue Sean. Israel has nuclear weapons to defend itself. Iran wants nuclear weapons to destroy everyone and everything that isn't Muslim.
Hi!
How nice! Another slow-motion conversation, my favorite kind, as you know.
It’s nice to see you, and I hope that you are well.
Don’t know - was going by some of the comments. But, apparently his parents (or his father) converted to Buddhism (post #43), so, who knows..
I'm sure Sean would agree.../sarc
Sean Stone is a useless tool. The nut doesn’t fall far from the tree.
