Compare and contrast Sarah’s notions regarding Iran to Barry’s. Here is part of the speech she would have given at the Ahmadinejad protest (read the full thing at The NY Sun) I am honored to be with you and with leaders from across this great country — leaders from different faiths and political parties united in […]
