“Bravo, bravo, bravo, Columbia!”

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has plenty of fans if you look at the readers’ comments section of the New York Times website.

Apparently “Ahmadinejad is intelligent, honest and reasonable” and “zionist terrorists” are behind the “dictator Bush.” “Bravo, bravo, bravo, Columbia!” writes another Times reader.
These are the kind of comments one might expect on the Daily Kos, but on the esteemed New York Times website?
Mind you, I was just listening to the BBC Radio World Service’s call-in show and one of only two emails the BBC chose to read out was “it doesn’t hurt anyone to deny the Holocaust”.
Really?
Thank you, BBC
