1/ Hi @rezaaslan -- I know you're peddling a book about Howard Baskerville these days, so it's good business to be a "revolutionary" all of a sudden.
But is this you, lauding Iran's elections and talking about how Iranians want Chinese-style govt "in a heartbeat"? #IranLobby

2/ Is this you writing with Trita Parsi, the IRI's single greatest apologist in West, criticizing exiles (you know, those that barely escaped with their lives) for saying that Iran's elections are a sham?

3/ Is this you, just 2 years ago when the winds were blowing in a different direction, arguing that Iran is not *actually* a theocracy, but one with "a remarkably modern and surprisingly enlightened constitutional framework" that guarantees a lot of rights?

4/ Is this you working with NIAC, an org that protesters all across the world are chanting against because they know it to be the organization that helped sell the IRI to the West for years?

5/ Is this you with your buddies Parsi and Hooman Majd, a man that was literally on the regime's payroll as a UN advisor? (He was also a "translator" for Ahmadinejad & Khatami though he admits to barely speaking Persian. Query what nefarious role he was really playing.)

6/ Is this you smiling for a selfie to peddle your book to the man who crushed the 1999 student protests?

7/ When it was beneficial to you, you sold the IRI to the West as a reasonable regime & allied with their mouthpieces in the West. Now, you claim to be on the ppl's side.
Iran's people need real allies, not opportunists jumping on the bandwagon to sell some books. /END
