“Barnes Praises Khamenei, Hopes to Be ‘Dennis Rodman’ of the Assad Regime,” by Alana Goodman, Washington Free Beacon, October 19, 2022:
Mandela Barnes, the Democratic Senate candidate in Wisconsin, praised Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei for supporting Black Lives Matter, said he wanted to be the “Dennis Rodman” of the Assad regime, and used his Twitter account to defend some of the world’s most notorious dictators and repressive regimes.
On Jan. 1, 2015, Barnes applauded a Twitter post by Khamenei that slammed the U.S. government over slavery.
“The issue of US govt oppression against blacks is a 100s year-old issue,” wrote Khamenei, adding the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter.
Barnes “liked” Khamenei’s post on Twitter and responded to the Iranian leader: “The first tweet of 2015 from @khamenei_ir is #BlackLivesMatter. Let that sink in. May This be a most wonderful year for you and yours.”
Barnes’s social media posts could raise questions about the candidate’s willingness to align himself with anti-American and undemocratic leaders. The news comes as Barnes, the Wisconsin lieutenant governor and former state legislator, has faced criticism over his repeated appearances on RT, a Russian state-run news network that the U.S. State Department has described as “propaganda support for the Kremlin’s foreign policy objectives.”…

so why doesn’t he just go on over to iran. he could take any daughters he has and they could wear the headrag or be killed. (he really shouldn’t take any children with him; that would be child abuse of the worst kind)
he lied about his college degree…that’s another thing he has in common with mozlums…lying.
At one time, fools such as he would be laughed out of any kind of run for office anywhere, but the world has gone completely insane, and evil is riding along, egging on the insanity.

As someone opposed to cancel culture, I don’t think we should be dinging anyone for simply Liking somebody’s tweet, even someone as odious as Khamenei. That said, if he wants to be a Dennis Rodman to Damascus, what’s stopping him? Dennis Rodman didn’t have to become a senator to go and meet General Secretary Kim: he went there as himself, and was welcomed, since Kim loved to meet a basketball celebrity. So Mandela Barnes could position himself as the second coming of Mandela, and then go and meet Assad, just like Tulsi Gabbard did some years ago

Infidel, I must respectfully disagree with you that Barnes “liking” Khamenei should not be an issue. Now, if this was a Tweet from John Q. Public or Joe Blow, and he knew nothing else than that this person said something positive about BLM, then it would be understandable (I have issues with BLM, too, but let’s leave that aside for now).
But the Ayatollah Khameniei is a well-known figure, with decades of ugly words and actions that one can easily find in under a minute just by googling. That Barnes either did not bother to do so–or worse, *approves* of the Ayatollah, is pretty appalling.

Barnes is demonstrative of what I have contended many times here at JW, to wit, that the Democratic Party of the USA is now the foremost enemy of America attempting to remain America.
I challenge anyone to tell me a greater enemy of my country than the Democratic Party. Yes, there are other “contenders” like the Chinese government, Russia in retrograde mode as usual, Islam of course, the MSM, the rubbish that passes for higher education in America these days, et al., but I put the Democratic Party in first place here. Bar none. Will take on all challengers.
And yes, there is some overlap here, definitely, with such “scoundrels” as the MSM and academia, even Muzzies aplenty registering as Democrats, but they are nothing more than subsets of the ultimate problem, i.e., the Democratic Party of the USA in its entirety.
Dave says
Iran’s Supreme Council and puppet “elected” leaders will always support anything that divides Americans in particular and the West in general. In any case who cares about what BLM thinks or wants. They have been exposed as having no ethics and allot of hypocrisy with their leadership funneling donations to accruing personal material wealth, mansions and expensive possessions while at the same time giving nothing to the Black lives that evidently don’t matter at all to them.

Does this fool Barnes *really* believe that he would do well under the bloody Mullahs?

The very notion that some old islamic fart that controls his people like the wee smelly fascist he is and yet has the cheek to mention slavery in America when thats where slavery was first outlawed and islam practiced it for a lot longer than the European slaver traders of America…
However lets remember that Saudi Arabia also outlawed slavery…A way back in the dark days of 1962…
I always wonder why these old farts with their turbans on all scream death to America, death to the Jews and Israel and yet they all use Facebook and Whatsapp to deliver their vile hatred and yet such social media sites are owned, created, and operated by Jews, either American or Israeli… Whatsapp was invented by a Israeli guy in Tel Aviv and Facebook by an American Jewish guy that lives in America.
But I guess there is no word in Arabic for hypocrisy.
Mr Barnes needs to learn that islam and its dumb ass followers called him a raisin head and treated African slaves worse than their goats or women.

That murderous jihad terrorist’s organization Hamas was started and is now funded by that hostile tyrannical oppressive regime of Iran.
It had revealed in a jihadwatch article that informs the reader that “The Black Lives Matter organization has embraced the movement known as the Red /Green alliance” which is the Communist -Islamic alliance.
So, it in the United Kingdom or the United States of America the BLM members don’t realize of know it but they are only what are called the “useful idiots” of the decadent jihadists in their quest for the advancement of Islam and the establishment of Sharia law in all nations.
If successful in their Islamic agenda those violent jihadists will turn on their BLM stooges who they use as their tools for they might get in the way of the enactment of Sharia law which is very strict harsh and cruel.
Related to all this it might be of interest to some BLM members that a scholar on Islam who is an Arab woman and speakers and reads Arabic and uses to live in one of those countries on the Middle East had exposes in her book that the prophet of Islam,Muhammad referred to Blacks as “ ‘raisin heads’ several time in the hadith [1:663:9:256]”
Her book also reveals that “Throughout the hadith blacks are also referred to as abeds, which means ‘black in Arabic and is also synonymous with the word “slave’ and filth.” In fact, Arab Muslims have enslaved blacks for 1,400 years and the Black slave trade is still thriving in Sudan and Mauritania.”
Further in her same book the author reveals that “Most interesting, though, is the even though black slavery by Muslims began long ago , almost no descends of those slaves are alive today in the Muslim world. Why is there no black culture in the Middle East ? Most slaves were either killed or died from being worked to death.” [1]
