Arch-Neo Con Norman Podhoretz\u2019s book reading at a recent Barnes and Noble appearance in New York turned into a hostile affair after he told the audience that Iran should be bombed because \u201cWe were attacked by Islamofascists on 9\/11,\u201d before being bombarded with accusatory questions and eventually telling the crowd to \u201cshut up\u201d.<\/font><\/p>\n

Rudy Giuliani\u2019s foreign policy advisor was subject to walkouts by individuals disgusted at the fact that Podhoretz openly called for air strikes on Iran, labeling Podhoretz a \u201cfascist\u201d who would have blood on his hands.<\/font><\/p>\n

Asked whether there should be a fresh investigation into 9\/11, Podhoretz simply dismissed the suggestion as \u201cparanoia\u201d and refused to answer the question.<\/font><\/p>\n

He later defended the fact that he signed the infamous Project For a New American Century documents, a Neo-Con manifesto for world domination that includes advocating the use of race-specific bio-weapons<\/font><\/a>, and claimed that the PNAC had been \u201cmisrepresented\u201d.<\/font>Podhoretz then admitted that the CIA had overthrown the U.S.-friendly Iranian government of Mohammad Mossadegh in the 50\u2019s, but called it \u201cancient history.\u201d
\n<\/font><\/p>\n


\nHe then went on to make a case that Iran was behind the violence in Iraq and had formed an alliance with Al-Qaeda, despite the fact that the two are Shia and Sunni respectively and as such are arch-enemies. He was then educated about how in fact it was the U.S. government that is funding Al-Qaeda affiliated groups to attack Iran<\/font><\/a>. This mattered little to Podhoretz, who was then asked why we should \u201cfight back\u201d against Iran by bombing them when they had never attacked us?<\/font><\/p>\n

Podhoretz\u2019s answer was to state that, \u201cWe were attacked by Islamofascists on 9\/11,\u201d clearly implying that Iran attacked the U.S. on 9\/11. Such unmitigated and bellicose propaganda might fly on Fox News, but many members of the audience were having none of it, asking why they should trust Bush and the Neo-Cons after being lied to for six years.<\/font><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy don\u2019t you shut up,\u201d barked Podhoretz, seemingly having abandoned his ceaseless regurgitation of warmongering rhetoric and finally losing his temper.<\/font><\/p>\n

Several members of the audience were kicked out of the store by cops but as Podhoretz left he was heckled again as protesters chanted \u201cNo Iran war,\u201d before ducking into a vehicle and scurrying away.
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

The incident was another example of the sterling efforts of We Are Change NYC<\/font><\/a>, who have made headlines this year for their prolific confrontations of numerous public figures from Hillary Clinton, to David Rockefeller, to Alan Greenspan.<\/font><\/p>\n

We Are Change have almost single handedly ruined Rudy Giuliani\u2019s Republican nomination campaign by repeatedly hounding him<\/font><\/a> at public events and reminding that watching media that he is universally hated by New York firefighters and other 9\/11 heroes<\/font><\/a> while constantly invoking their names for cheap political points scoring.<\/font><\/p>\n

Giuliani enlisted Podhoretz as his foreign policy advisor back in July. In September, Podhoretz met secretly with President Bush and Karl Rove and encouraged them to bomb Iran<\/font><\/a>. Podhoretz is widely considered to be one of the few remaining hardcore Neo-Con loyalists, while a sizeable majority of the rest begin to flee the sinking ship as public opinion turns ferociously against the Neo-Con\u2019s anti-American agenda and incessant warmongering.<\/font><\/p>\n
