Hooman Majd on Real Time with Bill Maher

[n621000]

بابا این مرتیکه با همه حماقتش راست میگه خوب....مگه خود موسوی و کروبی نگفتند که ما خواهان اصلاحات هستیم نه تغییر نظام؟؟؟

راست میگه...این انقلاب نبود...اصلاحات بود....اون موقع شعار سبزها همین بود...الان هم بعضی هاشون همینومیگن ....

[Shoorangeez]

He is either a traitor to his people or an idiot knowing nothing about Iran. We have never had an election in the past 30 years as all candidates have to go through the Guardian Council screening process. And only those with a proven record of loyalty to the regime can pass this filter. In all so called elections Iranians have a Hobson's choice case to choose between bad and worse. However this time, the so called Great Leader could not even tolerate people choosing bad and rigged the election.

[CYILATOR]

Fuck this faggot. Iran needs to be muslim so that the people are obedient. long live Iran

[azadiiran1]

This bastard is a mullah lover,close relationship with Khameni and Ahmedinajd. He is a traitor to Iran and Iranian.

[ax3b]

Should I be very skeptical of this man's charming delivery? I have a feel I'm being hoodwinked.

[WinkyMaeve]

@ax3b yes, his entire family lives wealthy connected privileged lives in Iran.

today in my country we have an incredible cancer, rich liberals with religious families, and military men that want to control the oil forever.

God help us.

[ebi2019]

Hooman Majd lied about the translation of the Supreme Leader. In official media in Iran they don't say RAHBAR as Hooman Majd said which means just leader in English. They say Maghame Moazame Rahbari, which means something very close to Supreme Leader and it is such an annoying title for ordinary Iranians to hear every day

[zibabahadori]

Wow ! Green Giveh ! some thing new !

[xerojreffaj]

Mr Majd is correct in that its an internal revolution; where people want change and evolution and not an overthrow of the entire islamic republic. I mean this generally; obviously there will be some in major cities who do in fact want that. We here get the views of Californian iranians who know nothing really of iran, and project their views onto the whole of the iranian people. and before people start calling me an apologist, i disagree with the current rule in iran (both khamenei and anejad)

[ashkank2002]

@xerojreffaj and what makes your opinion more valuable then of those Iranian living in California?

[xerojreffaj]

@ashkank2002 well it's less biased for a start. i've lived in iran and i've lived out of iran. i can point out both the successes and the flaws of the system. a lot of these LA iranians did well under pahlavi and left after he fell so they're naturally biased. they're in LA for a reason. they project their views onto the whole population, in much the same way as the mullahs in Qom do so they come out with the same narrow thinking bias, just from the other extreme

[ashkank2002]

@xerojreffaj well you really don't know how many of Iranians in LA have been there since shah, according to migration information source, number of Iranians since 2000 have doubled in USA and particularly LA, which is hub of Iranians. In conclusion, I am against of generalisation of people's opinions, and trying to rendered it as less worthy or false in the process. You have to look at what they saying and at evidence rather than some obscure prejudice.

[xerojreffaj]

@ashkank2002 it's not an obscure prejudice. what annoys me is when people who spend 2 weeks a year in their private estates in iran and the rest of the year in LA speak on behalf of the whole iranian population. it's exactly the same thing as some mullah holed up in qom claiming to know what's best for the country. they're entitled to their views, but they're just that: their views. not the whole country's.

[xerojreffaj]

@ashkank2002 just look at the comments under this video to see what i mean.

[NaseemAzadi]

بزرگترين مزدور جمهوری اسلامی ,هومان مجد این پلیدان را بیشتر افشا کنید. اینها چوب زیر بغل این حکومت فاسد، خون ریز، شکنجه گر، و متجاوز بودهاند. خامنه ایی پلید در کهریزک و اوین جنایات و شکنجه و تجاوز میکند، این مزدوران پلید آنرا توجیه میکنند. خعمینی هزاران نفر در سال ۱۳۶۷ قتل عام کرد، این پلیدان آنرا توجیه میکرده اند. لعنت ابدی بر خمینی و خامنه ایی و ننگ آبادی بر این مزدوران و افرادی چون تریتا پارسی و NIAC.

Houman Majd: An apologist for the terrorist Iranian regime.

[OhMaDayzz]

FUCK ISLAM.

[Rammbock]

Majd is a fucking liar.

"The elections were fair". Yeah, no preselection...

[ivan191919]

At 5:59 Majd tries a very brutish attempt to soften the hideous concept by which the Shiite dictatorship is constructed. He uses language to hide this when he claims that supreme leader is lingual misrepresentation of the fact and that the word supreme is not even there in Persian but he forgets that notion comes from "Velayate Motlagheye Faghih" which is correctly translated as "The Supreme Rule of Clergy". Obviously Majd knows English well yet he tries to hide the truth.

[Seekthetruth3000]

Hooman Majd's behavior indicates to me that he is sympathetic to the islamic mafia occupying Iran. He is a mullah without a turban, what a shame.

[newslinedirect]

bill maher is sleaping with the enemy

[newslinedirect]

maher is pro muslim but he knows "alaha" is not the true god. He said it

[TussenPerpaalsa]

He doesn't have a mustache btw those are Maher's pubes.

[TussenPerpaalsa]

This guy is a FFcking idiot.

[antarkip]

Hooman is an apologist for the Islamic Republic and he loves it, coz it wins him a slot with Maher...Poof. Dude was wrong in 2009, as the evidence of today's ongoing demonstrations in Iran suggest.

Hooman you are a stooge of your own wrong doings. Get a life.

[torajghofrani]

Look dumb asses, Tehran is not Iran and Iran is not Tehran. Ahmadi does not get his vote from good looking dimwits like you, he gets his votes from villages (the real ugly dimwits) of Iran. Look at every election since the revolution and you will note that Tehranians votes (and that of most affluent cities in Iran) had never been a decision maker. They are NOT the majority, in the same way that USA is not = CA/NY smartassess.

[Byron10301]

This guy is a liar "Rahbar-e mo'azam = Supreme leader" it is a 100% accurate translation, and he is lying about it all the way.

[karim421]

"Khak bar saram" is totally different than death to. This moron think people are stupid.

[karim421]

You want to be good one and cute. hahaha...

[karim421]

Fuck him, I am Iranian, death to exactly mean they wish you be killed. Islamic regime is not that pretty and cute he try to show.

[ParthianImmortal]

@karim421 all countries arent as pretty and cute as they try to show they are. dont be naive agha.

[karim421]

@ParthianImmortal

I understand you Agha all countries. But I do not take this BS to think Iranian regime are cute :)

What do you think about prettiness and cuteness of Iranian regime?

I thought this guy is not talking on behalf of Iranian regime. I didn't know he is one of the IRI official speakers :) thanks for letting me know.

[DeistRW]

Well said Hooman Majd.

[PariFairy55]

All of you out there who are just insulting Hooman Majd blindly, should get your facts right.

You think he goes to UN and translate for Ahmadi because he is his PR?? NO! he translates for him in the UN because Iranian government gives him a chance to sit at the table and work on Ahmadi's speech. It's his only chance to prevent radical accusations and statements. It's his only chance to be a journalist and give an inside view of Iranian government to the West.

[PariFairy55]

All of you who are just cursing Hooman Majd obviously have no clue about what America and Americans think of Iran. To them Iran and Iranian people are just a big fat Ahmadinjad who should be bombed! Majd loves his country and his people regardless of what political beliefs they have and he is trying so hard to protect Iran by showing the ignorant west what really Iran is and who real Iranian people are.

[IRANownsGEORGEBUSH]

EVEN BILL MAHER In minute 3:15 says WHO DE HELL IS MOUSAVI, A prime minister who was the blood sucker KHOMEINI's baggage handler and appeaser and IS THAT WHO IRANIAN PEOPLE REALLY WANT?

HOOMAN MAJD THE SCUM BAG " MOUSAVI HAS CHANGED "..... SO THE 30,000 PEOPLE MOUSAVI HAD EXECUTED IN SUMMER OF 1989 ARE ALIVE NOW ??? HOW DID HE CHANGE ?? HE CONFESSED HIS SINS OR HE HELPED BRING ANYONE TO JUSTICE FOR THOSE MASS EXECUTIONS ?

Hooman Majd, Be ready to hide like a lizard running from a sand storm

[ParthianImmortal]

@IRANownsGEORGEBUSH Mahmood is a cleaner man that Mousavi, I remember when Moussavi had more blood than Mahmood, Mahmood is what he is, you get him at face value, Mousavi is a snake, he is like those chameleons changing colors to suit him.

[IRANownsGEORGEBUSH]

HOOMAN MAJD, A traitor and spy for the IRANIAN ISLAMIC RAPIST REGIME in D.C has been betraying Iranians for as long as he has had a career in treason to his country IRAN,..... Why would you use this cloan and spy of another regime who is enemy to the world to have an interview on the poeple of IRAN's REVOLUTION FOR NEW GOVERNMENT ???

ARE YOU ALL BLINDE THAT MILLIONS HAVE BEEN EXECUTED IN IRAN AND PEOPLE ARE SCARED TO COME ON THE STREETS AND SHOW THEIR OPPOSITION WITHOUT BEING SLAUGHTERED ???

[ParthianImmortal]

@IRANownsGEORGEBUSH then those something about it, stop wasting your time in the internet and change iran with your own hands, the problem with most iranians and myself included is that we talk a lot about this and that, fuck Khomenei and mar bag Khamanei but nothing happens, we are cowards, sticks and stones man, stick and fucking stones, do something and stop complaining, we got to be men instead of cowards in the internet gripping like old men in what if stories.

[cypers77]

"No, it's not a real revolution...it's like an internal revolution" so that our moftkhori can continue indefinitely...inshallah. (Majd)

In bache akhoondha ham ma ro gir avordan.

The bit where he talks about translations is pure bullshit by the way.

[shahin1867iran]

En khoskesheh madar jendeh ye islam va mullah doost hast. Khoseh nanash ridam. Khose naneh islam ridam.

[7lifesecrets]

This guys (Hoo-man) is not in support of Iranian green movement. He is part Iranian lobby to create a soft image of mullahs. In persian he is Poof-youz.

[ParthianImmortal]

@7lifesecrets man, what the hell are we doing here just talking, time for us to man up and change a country, no need to gripe and act like old men with what if stories, take your arm and lets move forward.

[antarkip]

@ParthianImmortal Hooman is an apologist for the Islamic Republic and he loves it, coz it wins him a slot with Maher...Poof. Dude was wrong in 2009, as the evidence of today's ongoing demonstrations in Iran suggest.

Hooman you are a stooge of your own wrong doings. Get a life.

[sufiatheart]

Magd has really lost the plot. He is sooo caught up in the CIA-funded/George Soros backed 'colour' revolution that he can't see reality. 3 million north-Tehrani centric kids came on this street and yelled. These people want a western vision for Iran. The vast majoritydon't want that. They wanted and got Ahmadinejad. They don't want a US/Israeli style McDemcracy with lipstick McFreedoms.

[xeegeex]

which planet are you coming from?!

[sufiatheart]

I live in Planet Reality - Planet Truth.

Not Planet McDemocracy with false McFreedoms. Some gharbzadehs refuse to see the national reality of Iran - which is far vaster than the limited 'lets imitate the west' aspirations of north Tehrani with their inferiority complexes.

[xeegeex]

I just came back from Hooman majd's talk, he's a twat and he's disgusting! majd is not green at heart, he's just an opportunist, and a double-sided scumbag. but I still don't believe in what you say. the green movement is neither a "revolution" nor it is supported by CIA, the reality of Iran is that people did the 1979 revolution for morality and they want it back. they want to use the law to remove the un-law abiding people in power who deny the basic Iranians constitutional rights!

[neocons1345]

You must be a Bacheh Akhond...what are you doing in US? oh let see, your daddy is stealing money and sending it to you so you can live in US...Fuck you pig

[neocons1345]

Majd is a scumbag....I hope he burn in hell...he is trying to give Mullhas a positive image...he is just another Basije who happen to live in US and speak good english and look presentable in comparison to the rest of those criminal gang...that is all..we all know he is related to them...

[csurmi22]

This guy says he is a muslim??? I am not a muslim, but I heard my friend telling me that yes, its forbidden, and if you fail to keep it dont call yourself a muslim.

I heard the speech of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and he is the only politican I know I would accept as a Prime Minister in my country. He is a great guy, sense, humanity, love, fairness, peace! He is a LEADER for more than just Iran.

[eirearya]

Johnny, I, too, am disappointed in the Iranian Americans who are interviewed about recent events in Iran. I want more anger, I want more opinion, I want boldness and condemnation. These people from Christianne Amanpour to Hooman are playing it safe, playing it on the fence, and I resent that. However, I draw the line at calling him a "front man for the Islamic regime in the U.S."

[mastoon]

You are 100% right, Some times people really hide behind their titles as they think the title explains their stance, It's the same thing to Bill he really stand behind his title which he clams as rationalist while at the same time it takes much more responsibility for him to handle because he is having trouble gaining a respected charisma while making fun of every thing he disagrees with and wait for the audience to cheer for him. Khamana'ei is causing him allergy in my humble opinion. Peace

[johnwaynetheduke]

Before you fall for this towelless-head Mullah, you need to know that this guys a front man fot he Islamic regime in US. He believes in and advocate the idea that you deal with the moderate mullahs. The problem is that a moderate mullah is a dead mullah, preferably six feet under. Poor Iranian people who have to be represented by this charlatan (the Iranian Ahmed Chalabi)!?

[eirearya]

You obviously do not know anything about Hooman Majd nor have you read his book.

[johnwaynetheduke]

His father was the shah's ambassador to Japan. HM is related to Mullah Khatami, the last so-called president of the Islamic so-called Republic. It's his pretentious posture that I despise, the fact that he portrays himself as a spokesperson for Iranians. He is wanna-be expert. That he believes the current regime in Iran is reformable!? Do you get the idea!? He gets an "A" in being dapper... You see like the rest of the superficial Iranians, he has an elegant facade but contentfree interior...!?

[eirearya]

I tried to respond to you but it showed as a new comment.

[darthsouheil]

you are fanatically misinformed about everything and your anger and stupidity are self evident.

[darthsouheil]

plus your a bigoted rascist.

[neocons1345]

Well said my friend...you are very intelligent...you got it right on...Majd is nothing but a PR man for the Mullahs....Majd is filthy and a criminal just like the rest of the Mullahs

[wkburnette]

Yeah, thanks much. I especially like the segment when they talk about translation. Great interview.

[watsugar]

Thanks for posting this, I was looking for it, very interesting commentary
