The Original ‘Bomb Iran’ Video

Share article:

…And this one, unlike John McCain’s version, is actually amusing. Even if both of them are creepy as hell…

Kudos to the creator of the video, Adam Kontras, for his prescience and sense of dark satire back in April of 2006 when it was originally released. Even as we curse him for having given McCain, the former “straight shooter”-turned-wingnut-loon, any bad ideas.

Kontras tells us he received “lots of death threats from angry Iranians not understanding it,” when he first posted it, and that he still does. As we receive far too many love letters here at The BRAD BLOG, hopefully this will to serve to send a few of the irony-impaired Iranians our way for a while instead. Always happy to serve.

(Hat-tip to Justice Through Music, who’s also had this on their radar for some time!)

    Sorry, that’s not the original Bomb Iran video. Vince Vance and the Valliants did the original back during the original Iranian Hostage Crisis. Search Youtube by Vince Vance and you should find it pretty quick, or see Skippy’s blog. Skippy linked to it lastnight.

    Ya know how Rove “accidentally” deleted 5 million emails? “YOUTUBE”, now owned by Google, “accidentally” deleted the McCain “Bomb Iran” video….yeah, right, it was an “accident”…

    http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Y...ideo_0420.html

    Did they “accidentally” forget to put it back? Oh, that takes a long time!!! How long does it take to put it back? Probably 1 second, but they’re having “technical difficulties”…would you like ME to do it FOR YOU in 1 second???????????

    Give McCain a break! All he wants is a “beautiful mind”.

    The “beautifully minded” war mongers, inspired by mother Barbara, only want to spread their “beautiful mind” to Iraq then Iran thru “beautiful killing”, “beautiful maiming”, and “beautiful oil taking”.

    All the while drinking the “beautiful kool aid” made from the sugars of booty and the waters of delusion.

    Only sick minded people will joke with lives of other people. Those who saw disrespect for other human beings will reap disrespect. Those who bomb will be bombed one day.

    I was talking to a woman last night who was going to visit Iran. I think she may have been an Iranian national going to visit relatives there. She was kind, sweet, and soft-spoken. She reminded me of a friend I had had in the 70’s — a young Iranian woman who had married an American GI (back when we were selling planes to the Shah). These two women were just like us — building families and friendships, trying to live in the world in which they were born.

    So just now watching the clip, I began to cry.

    Jaroslav, I’m not sure if you are upset about the clip itself. It is difficult to tell from your comment. The clip is meant to show the absolute idiocy of the president, not to make fun of bombing Iran and the blood of Iranians.

    John McCain’s comments this past week only re-inforce how idiotic the republican party has become — we need to be very very afraid that the republicans are still in the White House.

    I think the clip shows just how afraid we should be — not of Iran, but of Bush and his minions.

    I can’t find a middle name for Barbie Bush. It’s probably Ann. Now it all makes sense — destiny at its worst. Or evil at its best.

    Sorry Brad,
    Just thought if MCain bombs were falling that 40+ unanswered 9/11 bombs needed to be dropped on the real criminals in the Bush administration.
