Sheer bloody stupidity

This well rounded comment is from the comments on the Daily Mail's reportage on the Iran situation

at 16:39 David from Altea, Spain said

"How dare Brown whinge to Iran he is far worse than Ahmadinejad and luckily we haven't started rioting YET"

Not someone who engaged brain before shooting his mouth off, I think!

People I know who lived through the Iranian revolution, the subsequent repression, the Iran-Iraq war and so on would find our political system, warts and all, rather preferable to that of Iran.

I suppose it goes to show that crass commentary is not just the preserve of the likes of Niles Gardiner or George Galloway

Needless to say there are plenty of other idiotic comments on the BBC, Times, Telegraph, and just about any other news site that you can think of

The essence of a radical is self loathing

Beakerkin - never ascribe to malice what could be satisfactorily explained by stupidity.

But yes, there's a lot of that going around.
