No Homosexuality in Iran

[ QUOTE ]
Whatever insight he might offer is mitigated by his authoritarianism, his out-and-out lying, and his inabiility to give a straight answer to any question asked of him. "Yes" and "no" are not in his vocabulary. His administration is cracking down on dissent, on women, and on homosexuals. When he gives yo ua whopper like there's no homosexuality in Iran, it makes his listeners think nothing he says can be believed.

Exactly.

I never post in politics, and I follow it casually in the news. Was very interested in his talk yesterday, so I watched live. Was impressed and intrigued by his speaking ability, his attempts to explain his positions, and his overall reasonable-sounding nature.

Then he gave that response and it made me view everything he said in an entirely different light. (A light in which maybe I should have been viewing everything in the first place, but he's an excellent speaker, so I guess he had me going...)
