UPDATE #1, June 16: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reaffirms one of the reasons for his deepening love for Arianna Huffington: Her willingness to make him and his genocidal tyrants look their best, while making others... look their worst .
A continuation of this satirical post, from a few days ago...

To: Arianna Huffington
Re: Your fetish for making bloodthirsty tyrants look admirable!
My Dear Arianna: How delighted I am to see that you've reaffirmed your willingness to continue using the power of your "nonpartisan newspaper" (LOL!!!) to project the worst possible depictions of the civilized leaders, while giving the exact opposite treatment to bloodthirsty tyrants like me. For example, I showed the disparate treatment you gave to me, and to the Zionist pig Netanyahu, as representative of your multi-year effort to always make me look my very best:
But on June 16, you really outdid yourself, on behalf of a dear friend of mine. On that day, you had a nearly top-of-the-page story about the CEO of BP. Keeping in mind, of course, that he did not personally cause the leak in your Gulf of Mexico, here is how you chose to portray him:
Yet on the same day, on the same page, a few boxes down, how did you choose to depict my dear friend Kim Jong Il, the psychopathic tyrant who, as you must know:
Oh, my dear Arianna, how could a psychopathic tyrant like me not love you even more?
Now if you'd take up my proposal for a more... permanent joint venture between us, I could get you fitted for your new outfits... to make your transition from free woman, to full-bore servant of mine, complete. Below, I had one of my artists work up this conception (yes, I know you wear glasses, Arianna!):
UPDATE #2, June 17: HuffPost blogger interviews Roseanne Barr --- who posed as a Nazi for a magazine cover story --- on Israel, but apparently "forgot" to ask her about that
Back on July 31, 2009, HUFF-WATCH reported that one of HuffPost's most notorious official bloggers, Roseanne Barr, was exposed in top conservative blogs for having posed as a Nazi, eating freshly-baked "Jew people" out of an oven, for the cover of a magazine. Further, we reported, that even after this incident had been widely reported in the conservative blogosphere, HuffPost kept Barr as an official blogger. Our story is here:
And amidst Barr's anti-Israel screed, does the "interviewer" (or one of HuffPost's 53 crack editors) ever once broach the subject of why she would pose as a Nazi, eating Jews fresh out of the oven? Of course not. (Here is a PDF of the original story, in case HuffPost decides to do some post-editing...)
The article does, however, include numerous incidents of Barr calling Jews and Christians... Nazis:
The thing that infuriates me and I have argued this with all of the neocons, is that many Christians believe that all Jews must die in Israel during their terrible Armageddon story in order for Christ to return [...] They are close to being neo-Nazis.
I took the whole Book of Revelations to Jews and explained the Nazi-like philosophy behind their support of Israel, and they just laughed and said, "It doesn't matter what they believe. The guy (Jesus) isn't coming back. So what?" I said, "Their support includes agitating for war with Iran, which to them is Magog. Armageddon is the war of Gog and Magog." It draws closer. [...]
"Listen to Palin drop hints about all the Jews in America moving there. Their thinking is for real and their think tanks write about it all the time."
As a reminder, here are some quotes worth considering:
[At HuffPost] there are guidelines that have to be followed -- and they include a prohibition on conspiracy theories or inflammatory claims. These are actually very good ground rules for Fox News to adopt. I'll send you a copy and cc Roger [Ailes]. For context, it's good to remember that Glenn Beck didn't come out of nowhere. He's the latest example of what the great historian Richard Hofstadter called "the paranoid style in American politics," which he defined as angry minds that traffic in "heated exaggeration, suspiciousness, and conspiratorial fantasy," and that see "the fate of conspiracy in apocalyptic terms... always manning the barricades of civilization."
You agree that you will not... (3)(iii) submit material that is... defamatory, libelous...hateful, racially or ethnically offensive... or is otherwise inappropriate."
Sadly, her highness was apparently too busy to beak bread with him. From Jim Hoft @ GatewayPundit - who also reminds us of Obama's recent refusal to dine with Benjamin Netanyahu - via HuffPost:
President Obama met for lunch on Thursday with a group of predominantly progressive columnists to discuss a range of topics, chief among them the oil spill in the Gulf.
Attendees included Gail Collins of the New York Times, Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post, Rachel Maddow of MSNBC and Gerald Seib, the Washington bureau chief of The Wall Street Journal, all of whom were spotted leaving the West Wing at roughly 1:45 p.m.
The lunch lasted more than an hour, said a White House spokesman. But no further details were offered. For full disclosure, Huffington Post co-founder and editor-in-chief Arianna Huffington was invited to attend but could not make it due to a scheduling conflict.
After shilling for Obama throughout his campaign, and only announcing a few weeks after the election that aside from her daughters, he's the only person in the world she text-messages, what a surprise to know that Ms. Huffington is still so close to him.
Preface: Given HuffPost's fetish for using brutal "satire," we at HUFF-WATCH feel this fact-based, satirical piece is both appropriate and timely.

Re: I LOVE YOU!!!
(And don't miss my suggestion at the end of this letter, for your five-word acceptance speech at the Webbies, tomorrow night!)
My Dear Arianna:
Until now, I have not formally thanked you for all you do for me, and for the cyber-jihad. With this detailed email, I hope to make up for this lapse, and list some of the many reasons why I love you. Yes, Arianna, I am finally ready to admit it: I am deeply, truly, madly, eternally in love with you.
As Editor-in-Chief of HuffingtonPost --- which is now the #1 most-read blog in the world and one of America's top ten news sites --- I know you are also very busy. I'm also aware that no matter how busy you've been, you've consistently done things that could only advance my interests.
(Note: When I compliment "you" in this letter, and attribute actions to "you," I mean you, and those at HuffPost whom you and your executives have trained... editors, reporters, comment moderators, etc.)
Butthe "journalistic" decisions you've made at HuffPost over the last few weeks regarding the "peace flotilla" (LOL!!!) that I and my jihadi brothers and sisters organized, have been extraordinarily helpful.
So helpful that my heart is simply bursting with gratitude... and, yes, love!, to the point where I can no longer hold these feelings in!
I admit I was concerned that this latest stunt of mine was too transparent even for you. I was afraid that you'd see my fingerprints all over this, and refuse to put your "Internet newspaper's" credibility on the line by shilling for me and my proxies, and acting as a spigot for hateful propaganda against Israel and Jews, one more time. You're clearly a politically sophisticated woman; you have convinced Congressionalleaders and worldfigures to become official HuffPost bloggers.
But Arianna, you didn't let me down --- you never do!
. ==================================== Why am I in love with you, Arianna? Let me count the ways...
====================================
You claim you prohibit "inflammatory claims" and "conspiracy theories" (LOL!). Yet in reality, you not only publish screaming headlines containing... inflammatory claims and conspiracy theories against Israel --- when the facts emerged that undermine these allegations, you almost invariably refuse to make your readers aware of them. For example:
Your "coverage" of the "Peace Flotilla," Part I: On the evening of May 31, you published the screaming headline at right (which I loved so much, I took a picture of myself admiring it!), claiming the Mavi Marmara was an "aid" ship (LOL!!) and that people were dead because Israel had "botched" a "raid" on it. You left this headline up for most of the next day --- during which time you also reviewed, approved and decided to publish some of the most hateful, anti-Semitic user comments ever to appear on HuffPost.
On the evening of June 1, the facts began to emerge --- from video proof, eyewitness accounts, and research by top analysts. The facts proved that this was an ambush of the Israeli military by jihadis disguised as "peace activists," who claimed their intent to die as "martyrs" and attempted to murder IDF soldiers, and that they were chanting "Death to the Jews!!" before they even left port in Turkey.
So what did you do with all these facts?
You went into your anti-Semitic "blackout" mode, removed every reference to the "peace flotilla" from your front page, save one, and published an inflammatory, screaming headline about... Sarah Palin:
As documented here, you filled the rest of your front page with stories of such monumental importance as... a fighter who ripped out the heart of his sparring partner, then cooked and ate it... a blogger's accusation that a (Republican) Congressman is gay... and a freakish singer's interview on Larry King. And then, there's your obsessive coverageof a chain-smoking Indonesian toddler, which you've only been running for a week now. How could I not love you after this masterful blackout of the facts --- which continues to this day!?
" to Gaza --- in direct contradiction to what she said only a few days earlier --- you remained silent. Ditto for when video emerged of these "peace activists" screaming "Go back to Auschwitz!!" to Israeli soldiers. (Ironic, being that when one attendee of one Tea Party event said something racially inflammatory, you ran a "news" item claiming that this shows the entire Tea Party is "racist." Yet when "peace flotilla" activists say something like that, you don't claim that this statement makes the entire "peace flotilla" movement anti-Semitic.) And when it was discovered that terrorism-supporters Bill Ayers and Jodie Evans --- both HuffPostbloggers --- also helped organize the "peace flotilla," did you publish this information? Nope.
Instead of publishing any of those facts, on June 6 you decided to publish an inflammatory, demonstrably untrue libel by one of your top "reporters" --- that Israel is engaging in "the slow systemic extermination of [Palestinian] people through starvation and privation." Of course, this is a carbon copy of the lie that Hamas, Hezbollah, I and the jihadis on the "peace flotilla" spread --- a fact that most certainly didn't escape my attention, Arianna. How could I not love you?
.
Your "coverage" of the "Peace Flotilla," Part III: By June 7, you were still maintaining your blackout on all the information that emerged that proved the reality of the "peace flotilla." You chose to ignore all the stories showing that there were no useful "humanitarian supplies" aboard the Mavi Marmara. That it was stocked with expired medications, and other useless garbage. That after she claimed to have personally witnessed "the (IDF's) murder of innocent civilians," retired U.S. Army Col. Ann Wright (an activist with the jihadi-equipping Code Pink) admitted she was not even on board the ship that the IDF boarded.
Your willingness to show any and every Palestinian-sympathizing propaganda video, even from the terrorist-friendly, notorious al Jazeera --- and your refusal to show videos from Israel that present a different perspective. For example, when the terrorists behind the "peace flotilla" launched a second ship to try to breach the Israeli blockade on Gaza, it was named the Rachel Corrie, after the terrorist-affiliated "peace" activist who was killed while facing down an Israeli bulldozer. You covered this aspect of the story prominently. Yet when this video began circulating among the top conservative blogs --- which honors the memories of other Rachels that were murdered by Palestinian jihadis --- it's nowhere to be found on HuffPost:
Your long history of "blackouts" of exculpatory information on Israel and Jews. Arianna, I'm well aware that your "blackout" of any information that presents Israel or Jews in a favorable light, or that exonerates Israel from the cyber-jihad you have maintained against it, is nothing new. Here are just a few examples that I find particularly pleasing:
==================================== As if that weren't enough, here are some more of the reasons why I love you!
====================================
Your blatant anti-Semitic bias during and after "Operation Cast Lead" I also want you to know that your willingness to openly assault Israel and Jews on a sustained basis has not escaped my notice, and admiration, Arianna. I confess that tears of joy come to my eyes whenever I think of how you pulled out all the stops during your "coverage" of the Zionists' invasion of Gaza in late 2008.
(FYI: The picture at right was taken of me after one of my aides showed me your day-to-day "coverage" of Cast Lead, and I was understandably overcome with tearful gratitude.)
One particularly glorious example of your facilitation of the cyber-jihad was this screaming headline you ran on January 2, 2009. Of course, my boys in Hamas staged this whole thing to muster the sympathy of cyberjihad facilitators like you. I mean, LOL!!! --- have you ever seen young males in the Gaza Strip drawing doves on a wall? Even an honest 12 year old could tell that this was a sloppy example of PallyWood propaganda:
You made little to no mention of the fact that my boys in Hamas had previously been lobbing thousands of rockets into Israeli civilian centers, timed to impact when Jewish children were being let out of school... or that they only allowed Islamist-sympathizing "journalists" to cover the conflict in Gaza.
Another glorious example was on December 29, when you published a screaming headline entitled, "Israeli Assault Targets Symbols Of Hamas Power" --- which you matched with a picture of a dead Palestinian toddler, clearly implying that the Zionists struck mercilessly and maliciously targeted her with deadly force:
Arianna, I couldn't have done that headline better myself!!!
Some of the reality of what you did during Cast Lead was documented in great detail at severalinfidelblogs.Butwere you dissuaded from using HuffPost's increasing influence and popularity to continue your assault on the truth regarding Israel, and my jihadi proxies? Of course not! How could I not consider you an angel for your stalwart stance?
.
Your facilitation of the cyber-jihad in other ways --- such as your ongoing assaults on the U.S. military. How ironic it is that while I am busy training, arming and deploying jihadis to murder U.S. soldiers, you are busy undermining and libeling them, right there on your home front. A few examples of the many I'm aware of:
And don't think your decisions to facilitate, embolden and protect my cyber-jihadis to libel the U.S. military on HuffPost has escaped my notice and gratitude, Arianna. My personal favorite is "rich misty," who you allowed to spam all your top "news" threads for days on end, 20 hours a day, with incendiary blood libels against American soldiers and Jews. Specifically, you allowed him to endlessly claim that U.S. soldiers sexually torture and murder Muslim women and children in Iraq, as a matter of "standard operating procedure." You then allowed him to also post links to an anti-Semitic cyberjihadi website we love, which he claimed showed pictures of your soldiers committing such acts.
Yet you censored then banned another user who repeatedly attempted to post the truth: that these pictures are fakes, were produced by cyberjihadis, and are hosted at an anti-Semitic hate site. Further, when other users objected to his inflammatory accusations and pathological violations of HuffPost's "rules" (LOL!!!), you banned them as well.
- "Kevenseven," whom you allowed to brag about how he was interviewed in his home by the Secret Service for openly calling for the murder of the criminal Bush on HuffPost --- and kept him active for years afterward --- while banning users who stood up to him.
- "Postman66," who also called for the murder of the criminal Bush, and not only did you let him remain, while banning other users, you made him a moderator!!!
Nor do I discount the lengths to which you go to ensure cyberjihadis and neo-Nazis feel safe and welcome at HuffPost --- while ejecting those who dare to criticize them. Three examples of this come to mind:
- "KQuark,"whom you approved to publish a graphic "HEIL HITLER!!!" --- then to rack up thousands more comments, because as he said on another site, no matter what he does, you won't ban him.
- "Poco767c," whom you approved to publish a screen-full of graphic swastikas --- then banned another user who objected to it.
- "CaptainQueeg,"whom you approved to explain that he's "sick and tired of all of the Heebs in this world." Yet rather than instantly banning him, you removed this comment, and others --- urging violence against Supreme Court justices --- and left him free to continue.
Then, there are all these examples of your reviewing, approving and deciding to publish my cyberjihadis' and useful idiots' inflammatory libels and death wishes against American soldiers:
Your top Washington "reporter's" covering for my affiliation with Al Qaeda --- and echoing my calls for the criminal Bush to be prosecuted for war crimes. First, during the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign, you decided to publish an article by your top Washington "reporter," Sam Stein, alleging that Sen. McCain had falsely asserted a connection between Iran and Al Qaeda. Of course, extensive documentation was available at that time that showed the deep, enduring links between us... but that didn't inspire you to ever correct the record.
Then, in President Obama's first prime-time press conference, which was devoted to discussion of the ailing U.S. economy, your Sam Stein took decided to ask him about something very different --- whether he was planning on pursuing criminal charges against Bush.
Do you think it escaped my notice that at approximately the same time, the New York Times was putting the finishing touches on an interview with me, in which I suggested the exact same thing? The rest of the world may find these incidents to be unrelated, Arianna, but I think that given all the precedent I've outlined in this admittedly longish letter, I have good reason to be appreciative to you for this joyous "coincidence."
. ==================================== Another reason I love you: Your continuous photo-bias to favor me, while doing the opposite against the Zionist Netanyahu
====================================
Let's face it, as the world's leading proponent of genocidal threats, and as I'm developing the nuclear weapons with which to fulfill those threats, my PR people have a bit of a tough go sometimes. After all, how does one give a murderous psychopath like me a soft, cuddly, benevolent public persona? Why, turn to HuffPost, of course!!! I've paid close attention to this facet of what you do for me, Arianna (here, here). No matter how many times I call for mass murder, and no matter how many photos of me are available that would match my psychopathic vitriol (right), you never, ever use them. The ones you do use always present me in my most favorable light. And as is documented here, you take the exact opposite approach when it come to that Zionist pig Netanyahu, who you almost invariably make look sinister and angry.
For example, here's how you routinely make Netanyahu look:
Yet when you acknowledge I am denying the murder of 6 million Jews, how do you choose to portray me? Why, as a nurturing, loving presidential figure...
. The below juxtaposition, from last summer, really demonstrated to me the lengths to which you'll go to make me look good. After I rigged the Iranian election to maintain my power --- and my drive to destroy Israel, and dominate the Middle East... who did you choose to make look swell, and to look sinister?
And even when the flaccid, jihad-appeasing U.N. finally spoke with one voice on June 9 against my genocidal threats, and my progress towards creating nuclear weapons to fulfill them, how did you play it? I mean, that's got to be one of the best pictures of me out there, Arianna... and you gave it border-to-border coverage. How could anyone not like the guy in that picture?
==================================== . If you've done all these things to garner my attention, and affection, Arianna... you've succeeded
====================================
I realize that men have a pretty bad reputation for ignoring or forgetting the important things that women do for them, Arianna. But my days of failing to give credit to you for these and all the other choices you've made, are over.
For in these and so many other instances, you had a choice to make --- to uphold HuffPost's claims to be a "nonpartisan" newspaper (LOL!!!), or to act as a willing facilitator of the cyber-jihad against Israel and Jews. Would it sound terribly arrogant if I presumed that your actions were all intended to gain my notice, and my favor? I assure you, my dear Arianna, you have won both... in ways that I can only express now, that I fully realize the vital role you play in helping me to fulfill all my aspirations.
.
==================================== My humble suggestion for your five-word acceptance speech at tomorrow night's Webby Award... and more
====================================
My dear Arianna, I hope I've sufficiently made up for lost time, in explaining exactly why I love you as I do, why I am so grateful to you, and what you've done that has earned all this affection... and more.
So when I heard that you were soliciting suggestions for your five-word acceptance speech at the Webby Awards... it occurred to me to at least suggest that perhaps, if you feel the same way about me, as I do about you, you might make your five words...
"I LOVE YOU TOO, MAHMOUD!!!"
And if you decide to do that... might I suggest one more means of making up for lost time for us? And for ensuring that not another moment passes without us being on the same wavelength?
Now that you've been single for a while, and as you know, Islam permits polygamy in certain cases... I humbly ask you, Arianna... would you be mine?
What a handsome couple we'd make, don't you think?
I don't need your answer right now, Arianna. Just think about it, would you? If I get my way, there will be plenty of "fireworks" in the Middle East to keep me busy this summer. And of course, that means another summer of you shilling for me, and for my jihadi sons in Hamas, Hezbollah, and the "peace flotillas" (LOL!!!), and against the Zionist pigs.
But perhaps somewhere in your heart, you'll see the logic in my proposal, and realize what we could do together. With me as the #1 sponsor of global terror, and you being the webmistress behind the world's #1 most-read, cyberjihadi-facilitating, anti-Semitic blog? Why, the potential is unlimited.
I eagerly await your answer, my little schnookums...
Mahmoud
PS: Oh you angel, Arianna... here are more thanks to you!!!
