Hossein Ali Montazeri – an Iranian obituary

Presstv, the English language propaganda mouthpiece for the Iranian regime (also the tv station that Stalinist shithead George Galloway appears on), carries an obituary for Grand Ayatollah Montazeri that is at odds with those in the free Press, in that all of his opposition to the regime has been airbrushed out:

“ Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, a leading clerical figure, has passed away at his home in the Iranian holy city of Qom.

His son, Ahmad, told IRNA news agency on Sunday that his 87-year-old father passed away due to cardiac arrest at 1.30 a.m. on Sunday morning.

Montazeri, who was born in 1922 in the Najafabad city of the Esfahan Province, served as Friday prayers leader and a member of the Revolutionary Council in the early years of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.

He was once designated as a successor to the founder of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Rouhollah Khomeini and was instrumental in instituting Iran's new constitution.

However, in 1989 Montazeri was relieved from his posts and focused the rest of his life on religious writings and teaching at his home in the holy city of Qom.”

No surprise that they fail to mention his vehement opposition to the regime. No wonder too that opportunistic rat like Galloway can’t wait to take their money.

I wonder what list you mean James

He could be on the list of anti-war pro terrorists.

Or he could be on a list of cowards who like to leave anonymous posts and call people wankers.

Take your pick.

"Stalinist shithead George Galloway".

Now, Jams, you are being generous to the Spiv, entering the word "head" in that title. I guess it's in the spirit of X-mas.

What is wrong with "shitheel" then?
