“Clearly, at the end of the day, we’ve got to eliminate that pool of people who are susceptible to becoming killers.” (Spoken at around 7:20 on the stream’s timeline; emphasis mine.)
Possible translation?:
Are there any queers in the theater tonight? [...]
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has a blog
Somebody tell me that this isn’t real.
