Watching the Right Wing fawn over their love of Iran, might just catch a person in a total state of confusion if one were to judge their policy stance from their recent rhetoric of blowing Iran off the face of the planet.
None of us will forget the Republican nominee for president, John McCain, gleefully singing about bombing Iran. It generated laughter and applause from Republicans. The bombing of a sovereign nation is commonly viewed as a "joke" amongst the Right Wing. War is such a "chicken crossed the road" issue anyways. I've lost count how many times War Cheerleader John Bolton has called for bombing Iran. Just last week he couldn't talk enough about Freedom Bombs and Glorious War. Neocon and Republican Norman Podhoretz last year said he "hopes and prays" George Bush will bomb Iran. Nothing like begging God for endless war. While running for president, tough guy Rudy Giuliani promised he would be the first to Nuke Iran if he had evidence they were preparing a nuclear program. Countless times this has been the policy of the right in regards to Iran (h/t GG).
Compare that to today's supposed "solidarity" movement with Iran. These are the same people who cheered on Iraq and still proclaim Iraq had something to do with 9/11 and also had WMD. The same people today comparing their Tea Bag Parties to Iran's election protests were just weeks ago wanting to blow them up into little pieces. Psychologically there has to be something wrong with these people. I don't think they'll ever come back down.
